HOME BREVlTIES

Miss Mary G. Kimbrough, of Scooba,
is spending the week as the prized guest
of her brother, Prof, j. M. Kimbrough
and family. Miss Kimbrough is the cor
respondent from Scooba for several
daily newspapers in Mississippi, Louis
lana and Tennessee. Besides being
writer of versatility and pre-eminent
ability, she possesses rare reportorial
skill-the faculty of ferrcting out news
and of determining what items will have
news value and passing the censorship
and escaping the blue pencil of the news
editor. 1t is needles to say that what
ever she sends in readily passes muster"
and is eagerly accepted. 1t is matter
of current comment that Scooba is well
advertised in the daily press, and that
the casual reader unacquainted with the
population figures will naturally get the
impression that Scooba is Of metropolitan
dimensions and Importance.

N. D. GOVERNOR SPEAKS
TO new LABOR PARTY
Chicago Union Men Give Big Welcome
to Governor Frazer of North Dakota.

Chicago.-Governor F'razier's ad.
dress before a monster rally of the
new Labor party here has done much
to bring about a closer understanding
between the toilers on the farm and
IN the factory. Like the farmer re-
volt in North Dakota, the new Labor
party in Chicago mas been born Of
the bitter experience which labor
there has had in trying to get the old
line politicians to serve the interests
OF the people. The revolving, work
lngmen were anxious, therefore. to
hear the story of North Dakota. and
Governor Frazier, although pressed
with the work of putting through the
farmers program, took flying trip
to Chicago to address them on Feb
ruary 9.
Over 5000 union men were present
to hear him, and typical of their spir
1t also was the raising of more than
$4,000 toward campaign fund in
less than 10 minutes. The working
men are also pledging their Liberty
bonds to raise working funds until
the regular dues can be collected.
They are soliciting members by meth
DDS similar to those employed by the
Nonpartisan league and each member
receives subscription e the official
paper, the New Majority. They have
a full set of candidates for the citv
elections this spring in the field.
Governor Frazier explained at
length the farmers and workers
of North Dakota, the great
evils which the farmers had suffered
at the hands of the old-guard poll
t1clans, and the Importance of polite
al union between the two great
classes of producers. .He said in part:
Il feel highly honored in being
to take part in this i'm
portant meeting of the new Labor
party. | want to taise this opportu-
nlty to congratulate the Chicago Fed
eralon of Labor upon the stand thevl
have taken in. the organization of al

ed about q week ago on a charge Of
statuatory rape, committed on his
own youthful daughters, and who
was arraigned before Judge Olson
and plead not guilty and was held
for preliminary hearing Wednesday,
was, after hearing the evidence on
both sides, bound oyer to the district
court for trial by the judge under the
magnificent bond of $4,000.
Attorney Cudhie appeared for the
estate and Attorney Thos. Clifford
appeared for Johnson.
The case in its first stages ap-
peared to be the result of neighbor-
hood gossip and agitation and was
thought to be poorly founded, but
from the turn of events seems to
have something to it, and the case
promises to be sensational.
