Governor Marshall expresses satisfaction because of the fact that suit has been filed to test the validity of the act of the recent general assembly wherein it is proposed to submit a '“new constitution" to the electors of the state, next year, for ratification or rejection. "I have maintained," said the governor, "that the supreme court should pass on the validity of the act before it is submitted, and I am glad the step has been taken to get such a decision.’’ The state officers named in the complaint have not prepared their plans of defense. It is said to be the business of the attorney general to assume charge, and he is preparing to do so. It is probable, however, that the services of attorneys who supported the measure in the general assembly will be proffered. Edwin M. Corr, chairman of the judiciary committee in the house of representatives in the recent session, which committee considered the validity of the measure at that time, has assumed a deputy- ' ship in the attorney-general’s office, 1 and it is said much of the preparation in that office concerning the defense.

Worry kills more people than work. Worry deprives a person of rest. Work brings on good sleep and consequently rest. Os all things, don't worry about the kind of clothes to wear, when you should know, and perhaps you do, that the best clothing and- furnishings are sold by Teeple, Brandyberry & Peterson. Catering as they do to men who care, their suits have snap and class, which every young man wants. o N. C. Norris, this county, has perhaps the smallest calf that has been seen by people in this vicinity, and which was born but a few days ago. At the time of its birth it weighed only eighteen pounds and is scarcely a foot in height. Although so very small it is well formed and gets around in great style, and owing to its smallness attracts the attention of many.
