Seven Years Young.

With this issue the COURIER
enters upon the eighth year of its
existence, this being volumne 8,
No. l, whole number 3G5. With
the exception of about two
months when it was first estab-
lished it has been under the
the present management.
Seven years is a long time or a
short time, depending entirely
upon the comparison, but in any
event seven years can and does
bring many vicisitudes and
changes. We have had our share
of them. Most of the ins and
outs, up and downs incident to
publishing a country newspaper
have, at some time or other, been
ours, However, we have had
the satisfaction of seeing the
COURIER grow out of a debt
burdened corporation into a
reasonably remunerative private
business enterprise. While its
success has not approached the
phenomenal we are proud of the
| fact that failure is not written
apon any of its pages.
Because of certain illadviSed
opposition the struggle for the
first few years was a hard one
We are profoundly grateful t
our friends and as lenient anC
forgiving toward our enemies a,
the nature and extent of thei,
opposition permits.
The Courier will continue t,
pursue the even tenor of its way
fighting always for that whicl
it believes to be right, neithe
asking nor giving quarter wher
principle is involved. 1t enter
upon its eighth year with pros
poets brighter than ever before
Notwithstanding the increase.

Notice to 0verSeers.

To the Road Overseers of Nor
gan County:
The time of year having now
arrived when you can with reason
be expected to successfully work
out your various roads and put
them in good shape, you are
hereby urged to warn out all
your hands and have every man
put in six full days on the. road
to which he is allotteds.' Where
energies exist, that is where ever
the roads are very bad, you have
authority, and will be required,
to have the. hands put in what
ever number of days that may be
required to put the road in good
condition.
Where it is required the county
will furnish necessary explosives
for blasting and also lumber etc.
for culverts and small bridges.
Task no man to do more than
his part of this necessary work,
but the law and good conscience
requires that each person do his
allotted share, and this must be
done.

A Strong Man Needed.

EdllOf courier.
Let US not forget, in the scram-
bic for county offices, that there
is far more important race on
hand than any of the county Of
fees. | refer to the Representa-
tive's race. If ever there was a
time in the history of the State
when a man of courage, a man
Of brains and a man character
was needed in the Legislature it
is now. Chaos reigns and will
continue to reign in State affairs
until we learn that just any old
thing will not make Represen-
tative.
The experience Of the past two
years ought to convince us that
we have been too careless and
Indifferent in the selection Of the
men who make our laws. We
have saddled upon us tax law
that is one of the most iniquitous
that has ever been enacted and
we will feel it when we come to
collecting money for local affairs
this fall. We have been the
worst MIS-represented of any
people on the globe.
This is oRly-to iistoauce what
shall say of one Of our candi-
dates for Representative.
George C. Taulbee is a man of
wide experience, a man of cour-
age and determination, a man
who has an analytical mind that
can grasp the finer, more subtle
points in the graft bills and
measures that will be offered; he
is a fine lawyer Of long practice
and experience and can readily
detect the legal faults in obnoX-
ious legislation, and will be a
safeguard to us in that respect.
His position on the liquor QueS-
tion-for absolute bone-dry, right
now-quit prohibition should com.
mend him to the voters who be-
Iieve that the curse should be
wiped out, and his strong stand
on the right side OF all moral
questions and his consistent ad.
yocacy of them should make him
the candidate of the whole mass
es of the party.
1t is useless TO speak of his
democracy or service % ohlS party.
, These is too we'll known. What
we should consider is that we
| have an opportunity to elect a
: man for our Representative who
5 has the ability to creditably rep
> resent us, who has the courage
z not to misrepreSent ui,and whose
l moral character and lie is suct
that we can confidently expect
| only the best for him Courage
e character and ability Ire combin'
. ed in him and we sholld not hes
o itate for Il moment in giving hin
d such a majority as vii proclaim
S for us that we are citizens VIII,

Cost Of Dying is too High.

Postpone It,
If one could figure out why the
cost of dying-yes, and why the
cost of being born also-has so
gone up in the last fifty or more
years, he might be able to throw
some light on the much discussed
question Of the high cost of living.
Both birth and death have in
our time become very expensive
luXuries, and one had better
think twice or thrice before he
INDUCES in them. In the first
case, there is danger that he will
bankrupt his parents, and in the
latter case, that he will impover-
ish his heirs.

advent in or his egreSs from one
of the great cities-say New

put it off as long as he can. Let
him change the Venue to the
country he will find the terms
hard enough then. And the
reason is that we demand Sc
many comforts, and convenienceS,

Teachers Endorse Davis.

To the Voters of Morgan county
publish below excerpts from
lettersreceived by me from teach
ers throughout the county during
the past few months, for youl

We, the undersigned teachers
of Morgan county, believing that
experience renders one more ef-
liclent in his line Of work, petl-
ton Jas. w. Davis to become a

ty Board Of Education has given
US better school houses and
equipment.
Second. That he has been
fair, impartial and courteous to
all alike.
Third. That he has always
been obIiging and fair with those
having dealings with him.
Fourth. That he has been
fair with the distribution Of the

each section of the county a
square deal.
Fifth. That he has been a
stay to those struggling with pen
ury and adversely.
Sixth. That he knows every
teacher and trustee in the coun-
ty and is familiar with all the

The above is a true copy of the
letters | have in my possession
which are signed by eighty of
the ninety teachers in Morgan

Of the fact that many of them

duce the originals thereof upon
application at my office in West
Liberty.
These letters prove that the
teachers, who are in better posi-
tion to Judge of the merits of my
work as County Superintendent
of Schools, fully realize and ap-
preciate the work | have been
doing since | assumed control of
your educational interests. I am
making this race on the merits
Of my work in the past, and if
reelected will be better prepared
to continue my efforts for the up.
building and development Of our
educational system.
am deeply sensible of the
overwhelming support you gave
me four years ago, and | trust
YOU will approve Of my admins
traCion by joining the eighty
teachers who have so unqualified
ly testified to their appreciation
Of my efforts, by voting for me
on August fourth.
Gratefully and sincerely yours,

bad breath.

# HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe to Dark
en- and Beauty Faded


Hair.
That beautiful, even shade Of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray or streaked, just
an application or two Of Sage and
Sulphur enhances its appearance a
hundredfold. r
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients for SO cents a large
bottle, all ready for use. 1t is called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur compound.
This can always be depended upon to
bring back the natural color and lus-
ire of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeths" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens 80 naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with It and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous. This
ready to use preparation is a delight
full toilet requisite for those who de-
sire dark hair and youthful appear
ance. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

Before the baby is born one must
think of and prepare the child's bed
for it is there the little one should
spend most of its time for the first
three months and at least half Of its
time until a year old.
The simplest of all furnishings
should be those loving mother
makes for her baby.
One Of my friends took a large
clothes basket, painted it white and
in the bottom placed some wooden
stats. On these she built delightful
and sanitary bed for her 'baby-one
from which it could not roll out, and
with sides high enough to keep the
drafts from the open windows away

Little 'tFlo's" mattress is covered

which she is laid and covered with a
cotton sheet and a light blanket or

and as much or as little money can
be put into them as may be convent
