all caused by that pesky animal. Maybe tho, this is a candidate storm, If so, we should apolo- gize to the ground hog. It is a sure fact that the candidates are plentiful. That is indeed token of an indication. Some seem very anxious to know who ye scribe is going to vote for for the respective offices. My an- swer is, for the man or men who believe in a government by consent of the governed, that the people at all times should have the right thru the referen- dunn to say the kind of govern ment they should have. I am opposed to any man that would favor any act that would set aside the will of the people that has or would be expressed thru the referendum. If the major ity should. or has made any mis- trkes thru the same method they can rectify them. Democracy (if it means anything) means a government by the people and for the people. If by a few it's an oligarchy or monarchy and not a democracy.
 We'll now, just think, started to get the news and got side tracked. Guess will be ex- cused, however. since the air is full las it were) of politics, and like the germs of typhoid, it gets in a fellows blood you know.

McMillan conducting the funeral service. She leaves children and grandchildren as well as a host of friends to mourn her sad death.
 On last Sunday occurred at the home of Otis Kelley, of Cass, the marriage of Mir. Hugo Wis dom to Miss Luella Childers, daughter of John Childers, of Barnes. We wish the couple a long life and much happiness.
