COUNTY SEED
GRAIN QUESTION
Owing to Fact That Commissioners
Are Unable To Act Without
Bringing Matter to Vote Of The
People, II Il Of Utmost Impor-
lance That Matter BE Given Pro
rnpt Attention.

From what we have been able to
learn there is going to be real
scarcity OF seed grain In this county
for spring planting, owing to the crop
failure this year, and hundreds of
farmers are going to need aid in buy
ing seed grain, il they are going to
be able to plant crop at all next
spring.
In view of the fact that the board
of county commissioners are unable to
take care Of the seed grain needs,
because 1t will be matter of thou
sands of dollars, and mus be brought
to an election, 1t Is of vital impor-
lance that steps be taken at once, to
bring about an election on the mat
ter.
In order to bring the matter to a
vote a petition containing the names
of one hundred tax payers must be
filed with the board, asking for an
election. From the time this petition
is filed it will take practically two
months before an election can be
held. Thus II the board was present
ed with petition, say January LIST.
election would then be held about
March 1st, and that is not any too
early, because by the time returns
were canvassed and If proposition
carried, seed would have to be pur-
chased and hauled out from railroad
points and even then, it would be
seeding time and then some before all
got their seed.
We don't think there is any ques-
ton but what a seed grain bond issue
would carry, as that would be the
only means whereby many farmers
would be able to continue farming
operations at ALL

a little worse and it then affected her
throat, SO Monday morning Mr.. Leet
brought her to town for medical at
tention, and it was found that she
had suffered a stroke of paralysis.
Mr.. Leet returned home Monday but
came back to town Wednesday morn

end was already near. However up
on Mr.. Leet's arrival she was still
conscious and asked How are the

CHAPTER XVII.
l Start in a Lonu Way.

We reached Canton at six o'clock ir the evening of a beautiful summer day. I went at once to call upon the Dunkelbergs and learned from a man at work in the dooryard that they had gone away for the summer. How keen was my disappointment! I went to the tavern and got my supper and then over to fishery lane to see Mi chael Racket and his family. I found the schoolmaster playing his violin.
 "Now God be praised-here is Bart p he exclaimed as he put down his instrument and took my hands in his. 'I've heard, my boy, how bravely ye've weathered the capes an I'm proud O ye-that I am!"
 l wondered what he meant for a second and then asked:
 "How go these days with you?"
 Swift as the weaver's shuttle," he answered. "Sit you down, while I call the family. They're out in the kitchen putting the dishes away. Many hands make light labor"
 They came quickly and gathered about me-a noisy, happy group. The younger children kissed me and sat on my knees and gave me the small news of the neighborhood.
 How good were the look of those friendly faces and the full-hearted pleasure of the whole family at my coming!
 What a joy for the spare room!" exclaimed the schoolmaster. "Sure wouldn't wonder if the old bed was dancin' on it's four legs this very min ute.''

dishes on it and white cover, frayed and worn. She led me to the other table which was neatly covered with snowy linen. The tall woman served a supper on deep blue china, cooked as only they could cook in old New England. Meanwhile could hear the voice of the aged squire-a weird, empty, inhuman voice it was, utterly cut off from his intelligence. It came out of the troubled depths of his misery.
 So that house-the scene of his great sin which would presently lie down with him in the dust-was food ed, hundred times day, by the un- happy spirit of it's master. In the dead of the night I heard it's despair echoing through the silent chambers.
 Kate said little as we ate, or as we sat together in the shabby, great room after supper, but she seemed to enjoy my talk and went into the details of my personal history.
 The look on her, face, even while I
 
 thoughts wandered, restlessly, in the gloomy desert of her past. I thought of that gay, birdlike youth of hers of which the old man with the scythe had told me, and wondered. AS I was thinking of this there came a cry from the aged squire so loud and doleful that it startled me and I turned and looked toward the open door.
 Kate rose and came to my side and leaned toward my ear whispering:
 ''It is my father. He is always think ing of when I was a girl. He wants me-"
 She bade me good night and left the room. Doubtless it was the out ragged, departed spirit of that golden time which was haunting the old squire. A Bible lay on the table near me and I sat reading it for an hour or SC. A tall clock in corner solemnly tolled the hour of nine. In came the tall woman and asked me in the brogue of the Irish:
 "Would you like to go to bed?"
 "Yes, I am tired"
 She took a candle and led me up [ broad oallen stairway and into room of the most generous proportions. A Dig four-post bedstead, draped in white, stood against a wall. The bed sheeted in old linen, had quilted GOV CTS. The room was noticeably clean l it's furniture of old mahogany and it's carpet comparatively unworn.
 When I undressed I dreaded to put cut the candle. For the first time in years I had a kind of child-fear of the night But I went to bed at last and slept rather fitfully waking often when the cries of the old squire came flood ing through the walls. How I longed for the light of the morning! It came at last and I rose and dressed and went out of doors.
 Kate met me at the door when went back into the house and kissed my cheek and again I heard those Ealf-spoken words: My boy" I ate my breakfast with her and when I was about to get into my saddle at the door I gave her a hug and, as she tenderly patted my cheek, smile lighted her countenance so that il seemed to shine upon me. I have never forgotten it's serenity and sweet ness.

Probably no man in America was ever better qualified to successfully treat the diseases peculiar to women than Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N Y. The cases that come to him run into many thousands, giving him an experience that rarely comes to any one man. Dr. Pierce found that in nearly every case there were certain vegetable growths which rarely failed to give prompt relief in those feminine disorders from. which so many women suffer He combined these roots and herbs into a temperance medicine that he called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pres cription. This medicine is sold in both liquid and tablet form by druggists every where. A weakly, sickly, backachy, head achy, nervous, Respondent woman, with regular or irregular pains-with feminine disorders that come in youth or middle age-is pretty sure to find in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription the exact remedy that her condition calls for.
