WORK STARTED ON
CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Work on the fine new Catholic
church was again started last
week and if the weather continues
open, the chances are that the
work will continue until the COM
pletion of the edifice. The foun-
dation base was laid some months
ago, but harvest came on and the
work was then discontinued un-
til the busy season was over with,
but now with the help of the good
people of his church, Father
Reidy expects to push the project
as rapidly as possible. No one
who knows Father Reidy willhave
any question as to his nationality,
but to those who are not so for
tunate as to be acquainted with
him, it might be well to state that
he is one real IriShman, clear from
the top of his head to the soleS of
his feet, and no man was ever
more devoted to his native land
than is he, and he feels that it is
particularly auspiciouS and an
augment of success in his enter
prise of the building of a fine new
church home that on the same day
that the foundation of the edifice
was first started, May 25th, was
the same day that the Home Rule
Bill for Ireland passed the third
reading in the House of Commons.
The work on the church is being
supervised by Jack Morrison, but
is being personally looked after
by Rev. Reidy, and the push and
vim which he inStillS into the
men on the job is typical of his
work In the spiritual life OF the
church. He has been extremely
successful in his work in this par
ish and is universally beloved by
all his people. One of his first
ambitions on coming to this place
was that his people should have
a suitable and beautiful home of
worship, and in addition TO look
ing after his manifold other
church work he has kept this end
in view, and the beautiful new
structure which will, in a few
months stand on the site of the Old
building will be the successful cul-
mination of his efforts. The build
ing will be one of the finest in the
country and will be one in which
the people of the church and the
entire community can take great
pride.

JOHN E. Coss A PIONEER.

A vote for John E. CosS, the
Democratic nominee for Sheriff,
means a vote for a man who is
one of the real pioneer residents
of this county, having lived here
for the past forty years. He is well
qualified for the position he seeks
and is one of the best men who
could possibly be selected for this
position. While he does not have
awide acquaintance over the east
ern part of the county, yet he has
many warm friends and support
erS who are working hard in his
behalf, and in the western half
where he is we'll acquainted he
is going to receive a very large
vote. Vote for Johnnie CoSS for
this position and you will be vot-
ing for a man who will make good
in every way.

ITS POLITICS NOW.

The Democrat man acknowledge
eS that the paper is most awfully
shy on real news this week, the
different candidates who are pre-
Senting their cause to the people
taking up almost the entire paper.
In addition to this the office has
been getting out the ballots for
the general election, and this is
anything but a small job. There
are three different ballots for
the voters this year-there being
the township and amendment bal
lots in addition to the big general
ballot, and with the reserve that
must be kept by the county clerk
it requires almost thirty thousand
of each, making a total of almost
ninety thousand ballots which
will be turned out by this
office this week. Half of
this number will be kept in re-
serve by the county clerk to be
used only in case of emergency
should any of the other ballots be
destroyed, and the rest will be de-
liyered to the judges Of the cleo
ton of the various precincts be-
fore election time. Of course this
will be a great many more ballots
than will be needed, but just what
the women vote will be is an un-
known quantity and the law re-
quireS that just twice as many bal
lots must be printed as heretofore
and this means that the ballots
will cost the county almost twice
as much as at any previous gener-
al election. So we know that our
readers will bear with our short
comingS this one week and we
shall try to abundantly make it up
to them in the future. The cleo
ton comes but once every two
years, and the different candidates
must have their innings" at this
time. The candidate is one of the
necessary evils, and they should
be treated with kindly consider
alton by the public.

TO THE VOTERS OF BARTON
COUNTY.

The stress of public business
has been such that it has been
simply impossible for the under
signed to make a close personal
campaign of the county. We have
felt that our first obligation was
in the discharge of our official
duties. We have been able to see
only a few of the many thousands
of men and women voters. This
has been through no fault of ours.
We would be glad to meet and
greet one and all but time will moi
permit.
We, therefore, take this means
of asking your support in thee com
ing election and of thanking you
for any kindly interest you may
take in our behalf. We have tried
to serve you well in the past and
if reelected we promise a con-
tinuance of this service.
