hdhusoIhe young lauy miss
| Jeanette Rankin is running on an
Independent Republican ticket for
congress in Montana She was nom
mated in the primary by a huge
majority over her male opponents
! Whether Or not the House of Rep

yer, of Chicago, one of the

The Republican party missed
good chance for usefulness to the
nation and future success for itself
when il insisted on putting out a
candidate against President Wilson
something that would not have
been done under the circumstances
in any other civilized nation. The
outs were too hungry to- wait,
| however, for chances four years
from now.-Cedartow STANDARD.
The North Georgia Conference
will meet in Griffin on the 22nd of

der of the Marietta district four

When Oscar Keller was a tiny
boy his mother noticed him going
from the sunny space in the center
of the room to the corners opening
and closing his chubby hands and
| asked what he was doing He said:
I'm taking some of this sunshine
into the dark Places His devoted
second mother insists that is what
he actually does to this day. His
health continues to improve steadi-
ly.
1t is said that there is not state
in the west that the democrats have
not chance to carry in the nation
al election. The republican news
papers and politicians were all lined
up and made a'big noise for Hughes
when the race was young, but as
the people are being heard from
they are found to be for Wilson, and
one state after another that was
considered safe and sewed up for
Hughes is now wavering and threat
ening to fall on the democratic side.
We believe this paper already
has taken the cake fer accepting
odd things for subscriptions but
what of this: A travelling drug sales
man for big firm in Minnesota
offered our subscription manager
anything he had except money in
payment for the paper and the
young man chose a box of chewing
gum. So everybody in the office
will reyel for some time in after
luncheon gum which is more sani-
tary than cigars and really bene-
fetal to both the teeth and diges-
ton.
The Gainesville News writing of
big boot owl killed by Mr. H. H.
White near Pine Log recently says:
The owl had a neck as big as a
grown cat, his talons were three in
ches long and the whole foot looked
like the paw of some big quadrupe1.
The wings stretched to the full
measured across the body, and from
tip to tip, four feet six and a half
inches. The head was as big as an
oyster bowl and the immense beak
looked greatly like a cotton hook.
1t was some owl, to be sure, and
Mr.. White took it down to the fair
and sold it to clown in one of the
shows, who will send it to a taxi
dermist in New York, where it will
be mounted.
