G. o. BISTLINE.

Candidate for Probate Judge in the
| August primaries, has strong endorse
ment from the press of southeastern
Wood county.
Editor Hurrel, of the Bloomdale
Derrick, says:
at is seldom that the editor has
an opportunity to give his unbiased
approval of candidate for county
office from personal acquaintance. But
in this instance Mr.. B. o. Bistline of
Bradner has not only our approval,
but of all who have know him person.
ally, even those of opposite political
faith. Mr.. Bistline has been an ex-
ceptionally successful worker in edu-
cational lines. He is not afraid of
work Of any kind, and man who will,
of his own volition, retire from we'll
paid educational work and delve into
the ground from love of nature and
work, is a man fit to place in re-
sponsible position. He is unqueston-
ably qualified for the office of Probate
Judge, as his judgment is fair and un-
biased. He can not be coerced by any
dishonorable motives or influence. We
know this from personal observations"
Editor Myers of the Risingsun
Unique Weekly says:
"Mr, Bistline is progressive and
successful man, and good fellow.
He is one of the most popular men in
the county and his Judgment and
knowledge make him very fit man
for the position"
Editor Hodges of the Prairie Depot
Observer voices his approval as fol-
lows:
"Mr. Bistline is widely known all
over the county and will make a strong
candidate. Mr.. Bistline is held in
high esteem in Montgomery township
and has all the qualifications requisite
for filling the Office of Probate Judge
to the satisfaction of ALL"
To these his home paper, the Brad
ner Advocate, adds:
at is with a deep sense of pleasure
that we learn that our fellow-towns-
man, B. o. Bistline, is now an avowed
candidate for Probate Judge. No man
is held in higher esteem by his fellow
townsmen than Mr.. Bistline. His char
acter and integrity are above reproach,
his business ability is evidenced by the
fact that he has been successful in all
his ventures. His fairness, impartial
ity, his broad humane view, his high
education and his practical ability to
adapt himself to many and varied
problems of the day, in our opinion,
eminently fit him for the office of Pro-
bate Judge

WHO CAPTURED BROWN?

Who captured John Brown at
Harper S Ferry in 1859?
An orator, at the memorial eXer-
cises held at a local cemetery last
Tuesday, made the assertion that
United States Marines, led by
Robert E. Lee, made captive the
rebel leader, although Grand
Army men who heard it, declared
the statement false.
However, Marine Corps officers
stationed in New York, the fact
that members Of the United States
Marine Corps, and not soldiers of
the army captured John Brown, is
well established.

who died June Is, 1911.
0, dearest, sweetest mother, since you
have passed away,
1t seems not that it is five years ago,
but only yesterday.
Whene'er we speak your loving name
our eyes with tears are wet;
o, mother, how we loved you, and love
cannot forget.
Our God took you from us; it was his
holy will:
And left in our hearts vacancy which
no one else can fill.
But in our saddest moments one happy
thought holds sway
We will meet again, dear mother, and
be happy, some sweet day.
