CHRISTIAN COMFORT
BY r. II. LipscOmb.

Amazing Gracel 'Tis heaven below,
To feel His blood applied;
DO. serve Him now, forevermore,
For US he wept and died.
lie died that we might be forgiven;
He died TO make us good
That we can make. our home in
heaven.
Saved by His precious blood.
There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin.
So serve Him now with all your heart.
And He will take you in.
There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good,
There is mercy with the Saviour.
There is healing in His blood.
Through many dangers, trials and
snares.
We have already come;
Tis grace that brough us safe thus
far,
And grace will lead us home.
Indeed to me il sweetly sounds,
Tell IL wherever you go.
Tell Il to all the people around,
Tell IL; we love Him so.

BRIDGE OF YESTERDAY
BY Elita Gamma.

over the bridge Of yesterday
Nv thoughts have turned to night
And out Of the far off distance
Comes a tender and glowing light
And centres around friendship
That has lasted thru time and tide
Tho the chance and change of fortune
Have severed our pathway wide.
Il may be that earth's tomorrow
Holds for ms no meeting place,
II may be that only In heaven
I shall meet you face to face.
But when memory seeks a pleasant
trip,
And the choice Of a pathway comes
I choose the bridge of yesterday
To the day when we were chums.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
BY S. w. sTRAUs
Pre5saS1r duerieaa SeaieD for Thrtf

-Four years later he became a clerk in
a country store at So a month.
Joseph G.. Cannon, the former
Speaker Of the House, also clerked
in a country store where he re-
ceived 81 a week. The Presidents
son-in-iaw, William G.. McAdoo,
was a farm laborer, then a tunnel
digger. and now is a wealthy man
and Secretary of the National
Treasury. The Secretary of Labor,
Mr.. Wilson was a coal digger.
Given the same instinct Of thrift
a boy can do today what these men
have done. "When men tell you,
SAYS Sir Thomas Upton, that
there are no more chances in the
world, tell them that they are mis-
taken. There are thousands OF
manufactures that are still in an
imperfect state. there are millions
Of acres that are still 10 be made
productive: there are, seemingly,
countless achievements yet TO be
undertaken"
Quite an achievement was the
"Save Something club which a

that and some OF the clerks depos-
tied Sl.00. Each card totals $3.50
and members possessed from one

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. It may be
relieved, but it cannot be removed by
simply local treatment. II breaks
down the general health, weakens the
lung tissues, and leads TO consump-
tiOn.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is so successful
in the treatment of catarrh that II
is known as the best remedy for this
disease. It purifes the blood. Ask
your druggist for it.

in the whole idea OF thrift and saw
ing, then he has not opened his
eyes to any adequate conception OF
human life. We are in this world
not to provide for ourselves alone,
but for others, and that is the basis
OF economy. 50 that thrift and
economy and everything which
ministers to thrift and economy

life"
President Wilson is known as an
advocate of thrift In fact it will
be found that all successful men
have the instinct OF thrift in one
way or another. Many Of the men
who are serving in the United
States Senate. Congress or the
Cabinet, are sclf-made men. They
were poor, but they were thrifty
and poverty cannot keep a thrifty
man down. Champ Clark, at the age

The sentiment for a joint campaign of the candidates seems to be very strong among the people of the County, thei efore, 1 as a candidate for County and Probate Judge, of Nevada County respectfully invite each of my opponents 70 ) )in ne in such a campaign, and suggest that we meet at the Cour; House, Sas- urday, March 1. 1916, Tor the purpose of arranging aates over the County. The idea seems to prevail that ttls plan would re- lieVe the people of considerable annoyance, therefore, the invi- tation k extended to all the caniida,es of the various offices.

 FOR REPRESENTATIVE
To The Citizens Of Nevada

To The Citizens Of Nevada
 County:
 In announcing for the office of Representative of Nevada county l feel that l should give my req sons for so doing.
 In the first place, l feel safe in saying, that never before in the history of our county, has there been such a demand on the part of the voters for some one to run for this office.
 do not propose to criticise the honesty and integrity of my op- pOnent, but when the people send man to represent them, and he fails to do so. 1t is their right, and a duty they owe their coun- ty, to retire him and elect one who will carry out their wishes.
 It has always been my desire to again represent my people in the legislature, and those who know me best, know that 1 al- ways try to be true to every trust reposed in me.
 The request for me to make this race was made by the road overseers of the county, who have been handicapped in their work by some of my opponents legislation-by the farmers, who desire that their lives and the lives of their wives and children, should be protected while they are driving through the streets of Prescott, for it is a well known fact that my opponent killed the bill introduced by Sen- ator Bush and passed by the Senate, that would have com pelled the Iron Mountain railroad to remove the spurs and switches from the center of our town, The demand for the passage of this bill was made, not only by the country people. but by the city as well.
 1 will say nothing at present of the many other votes cast by my opponent that are not satis- factory to the people, but will say that if you honor me with this office 1 will always try to be a servant of the people who sent me and 1 will not make their wishes second to any corporation on earth.
 Your obedieht servant,
 c. E. Andrews.

The great civil war ended years ago. and today we live under the fluttering folds of one proud flag. North and South shook hands at Appomattox amid sor- rowful sceEe5-back to wrecked and ruined homes marched those who wore the "hallowed gray. i"
 The tender memories that cling and clus CT in the silent re- cesseS of Southern hearts mem- orles of those dark days when drum tap and buele call brought ready response <.2~ the manli- est set of men that ever drew lance upon fair fel.s If chival- ry. May we hope that in this busy world. in this mad rush for glory and for gold that those memories will light the path of duty and inspire the heart and hand that holds together the well being of our good State and guards with jealous care her fair and precious name.
 We are glad to live under the stars and stripes and have long since shown our love and loyalty to a reunited country.
 We would follow our flag and die beneath it's folds for the pre- servatlon of this grand Republic.
 But oh! let us love the memo rleS of the past. Let us honor the name of those who stood with Stone vail Jackson and rode with Forrest back yonGer in the days that marked the greatest struggle tha world ever saw.
 We owe it to those who fell on a thousand fields We owe it to those who are yet among us and to their prosterity; we owe sacred remembrance of the deeds and daring of our fathers who followed the fortunes of the con- lederacy. God grant that we may never forget them or for sake them
 There IS contest now on in this State that bids fair to be a bitter one. It is the Governor ship of Arkansas.
 On the one hand. Dr. c. H. Brough. the pleasing poet with his Yankee Ancestry. to which he points with pride. On the other hand, Earle w. Hodges. an Arkansas boy of honest parent age, whose every heart throb is one of love for his native South land and whose every hope and ambition is to see her grow great and powerful and prosperous.
 Which of the two would better serve the old soldiers? Which of the two would give Arkansas and her people the most acceptable administration? Which of the two would best guard the untar- nished glory of the Democratic party?
 From the standpoint of State pride. Earle w. Hodges is enti- tied to your support.
The Nevada County picayune., 1916-03-02

Before reaching the age of twenty-one, the printer shop was the scene of his activities.
 There under the sound of the old Washington press that prom ised anything save profit or play, he hammered out columns of Democratic doctrine and gave to the party of Jefferson, of Jack son and Wilson, a willing hand and hopeful heart.
 When he paid his first poll tax and went to cast his first vote for Democracy, Dr. Brou2h was sit ting in his Northern University chair making his life long study O. Arkansas" and dreaming of drifting down here to become the Governor of our patriotic people and planning sto form a winning partnership" with numerous triggers.
 The only partnership, save one. that Earle Hodges ever formed was with a bright-eyed Southern girl of Randolph County, whose tender devotion and sweet Christ ian character has moulded and made of him a manly man and gave to him the first word of hope and encouragement that he might become the Chief Executive of Arkansas.
 T e other partnership was formed with the warm hearted citizenship of this good State whose public servant he has been for six years in their office of Secretary of State.
 Notwithstanding the charges, unwarranted and unjust, that are urged against him by his cold natured opponent, the people of Arkansas know that Earle w, Hodges is honest; that his heart is pure; that his record is clean; that his politics come under the head of Southern born. Southern bred Democracy,
 There is no reason on earth why Earle Hodges should ssnot be elected Governor. We are unable to even imagine any reason why Brough should be elected. If we could make up our minds to forget the fact that Brough has only been resident of our State for twelve years and only paid his poll tax just half of that time, if we could forgive him for urg- ing our Southern white folks to form a winning partnership" with the triggers, if we could countenance his attitude toward Mormon religion and overlook the banking of his gold in Utah, if We could look with favor up- on his assessment plan which if put in operation would heap an unbearable burden upon the back of an already overtaXed people, if we should consent to his align ment with Joe Robinson and his Federal machine and agree to his connection with the American Book Trust, and place our 0. K. on his carpet bag bond business, there would be left yet a good and sufficient reason why Dr. Chas. Hillman Brough should not be honored with the office of Gov ernor of Arkansas. That regson is, Brcugh is not friendly to the old Confederate soldiers, who, though stopped in years, are the brightest jewels that glisten in the sunkissed land of Dixie.
