The above is a good likeness
of w. Scott Simon, Republican
candidate for Assessor of Bar
bour county. He was born in
Barbour county June 18th, 1867.
His father, J. B. A. Simon was
the first Republican voter in
the Simon's family in Barbour
county.
"Scott" was educated in the
public schools of Barbour coun-
ty, and has spent practically all
, his life on the farm. He is we'll
acquainted with the value of
real estate and personal prop
erty, he is soEer. industrious,ac-
tive absolutely honest, a hard
worker and is well respected and
liked by all who know him. He
served the county of Barbour
as Superintendent of the County
Infirmary Of Barbour county
for a period CT over six years
and he proved himself worthy of
the trust and under his manage
ment that institution was place1
upon a paying basis as it had
never been before in this coun-
ty and we call your attention to
his final settlement with the
County Court of Barbour coun-
ty in which you will find that he
turned over to the Sheriff of
this county over One Thousand
T dollars in cash over and above
all the running expenses of
; said Institution.
The office of Assessor of this
, county is not a political office,
and all that the people want or
could expect is a man who is
honest, a man who is acquaint-
ed with the value of both real
and personal property, a man
who will above all else, deal fair
and equitable with every man, a
man who will fill this Office with
respect to himself and every
citizen of this county, man
who has never before asked his
fellow man for his vote to any
office in this county, and in the
!; person Of Scott Simon, you have
just such a man as we have
been saying should have this Of
flee, and we appeal to every vot-
er of this county, whether you
be Democrat, Republican, Prohi-
bitionist, or Socialist, on the 7th
day of November, next, to go to
the polls and cast your vote for
Scott Simon, for Assessor of
this county, and he will serve
! you with all of the honesty OF
purpose and intention that lies
within the ability of any man.
, and we vouch for him an admin
istration that will meet with the
hearty approval of every mar
whatever his political utilization
) may be,and at the expiration OF
! his term of office we will al
, point with pride to his officia,
) acts and say, that there is 3
man who has faithfully done his
duty, honestly, fairly, and fear
lessly before all men, and we al
will say that in Scott Simon
and his official acts we have nc
fault to find.

How Catarrh is Contracted

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the coldswhich their
children contract The inflammation
of the mucus membrance, at first
acute, becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, a disease that is
seldom cured and that may prove a
life's burden. Many persons who
have this loathsome disease will re-
member having had frequent colds at
the time it was contracted. A little
forethought, a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy judiciously used, and
all this trouble might have been
avoided. Obtainable everywhere by
all dealers.

urday by gentleman who lives on Court
street someone in that vicinity Is minus
mouse trap, also the nights catch of
mice. The man in question owns a cat,
and was surprised one morning a few
days ago to see puss coming up the walk
and dragging something after her which
proved upon investigation to be a mouse
trap, one Of the kind which catches 'em
by the neck. In the trap were two mice,
one Of which was dead but the other was
alive and the cat had him by the seat Of
his breeches and was evidently very
proud Of her capture. She was assisted
in getting the mouse out Of the trap.
whereupon she made short work Of him.
She is very much interested in the trap
and keeps close watch over it. prob
ably in the hope that 1t may bring her
another breakfast.
