'er on a thousand hills

II
October on a thousand hills
Has lighted all her beacon fires,
And in the twilight tide the winds
Are as the sound OF many Tyres
Just so, just so.
The drouth has been broken and the
water wagon IS again much in evidence.
The hum of the threshing machine
maybe heard upon all sides.
Grain OF all kinds yielding very well.
The day of Thanksgiving and prayer,
and one might add, roast turkey, will
soon be here. Let us be grateful not
only forthe turkey but many other bless
| ings too tedious TO mention.
So far no calamity bowler has entered
our domain. one of the many things
We should be thankful for
The Dear Me" letter should be given
wide circulation. Ii speaks volumes for
some people. Don't vote for candidate
who is in anyway tied u scheme that
If carried out would, at least. put some
OF the good people OF this county in a
perilous condition.
In face of the fact that farmers are un-
able To get help upon their farms, calamity
howlers speak OF the unemployed under
the Wilson administration. 1t is all
campaign rot, OF course. There are no
unemployed today that can be attributed
To the Wilson administration. When
strikes and shut-downs have occurred.
IL has simply been disagreement be-
tween employer and employee. The de-
mand Tor products OF the mines, mills
and factories, and the farm, is lust as
good today AS il was before the Demo-
cratic party came into power. No man
who wants To work need travel over the
country, bundle in hand, seeking en-
ployment. But, il is said, drowning
man will grasp at a straw. Hence the
wall of hungry office seekers, whose
feet have been from under the pie counter
for two long years. ascend To heaven.
Anything looks good 10 them that might
again give them chair at the much
coveted pie counter. They champion the
cause of the unemployed while they are
seeking lucrative positions. When once
installed they are as mum RS Holsters.
The News editor had. perhaps, not
been out of corporate limits of his native
heath when he made the statement that
Preston county roads were the worst
ever.
Mr.. Voter, are your sure you have been
properly registered? See to this. 1t you

Mrs. +. c. Garner, who has been
suffering for some time with felon on
her hand, is, we are glad TO report,
much better at this time.
Every member OF our legislature who
iavors water power law, such as the
power people have tried TO enforce at
Bruceton, should be made TO publicly
announce their position on such n law
and state their reasons, If they supported
such law at the last session OF our
leglslatlon, Tor supporting II. III they
have been supporting such measure in
the interest of the power people, as
against the best interests of their con-
stituents, they should be rebuked at the
polls in November next The people i'm
the northern end oil our county, especial
ly, should be on their guard. See to it
that ell candidates for legislation honors

this subject. II they fail TO come toward,
don't vote for them. You can afford to.
