While all of US would have been de-
lighted to have had our esteemed
citizen and friend, ]. N. Clay, honored
with the office of register of Fayette
County, We are rejoiced that we will
still have him among US. On account
of business affairs which would have
prevented his leaving here, in the event
of his election he withdrew from the
race. We are sure we express the
sentiments of Mr.. Clay as we'll as the
asst majority of other good citizens of
Oakland when we wish for MIR.

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Oats had a life
time visitor to make his appearance
last week. He is a fine fellow and,
from the looks of his farm, garden
mule colts etc. one would know that

One reason why we need telephone
is that our neighbOrs plant corn in the
gardens and vacant lots and this pre-
vents our seeing across the way, and
we must know when company is coming
this hot weather.
1t takes nerve to plant oats this fall
when our first trial turned out about,
a half crop and one third of that smut.

flowers. more fruit trees and fewer
broken down gates, guIlies and other
unsightly places to ruin our farms and
homes.
