He will then resume his campaign in Indiana as a candidate for governor and he expects to speak in every county in the state before election day. The democratic editors are meeting in Indianapolis today with Bernard Korbly, state chairman, and tomorrow he will confer with the state committee, discussing plans for the cominf campaign wihch it is admitted will be one of the mßht stirring in the history of this state, always recognized as a pivotal one in a political campaign. It seems that General Hugh Scott is about the greatest diplomat in this country. When there is any trouble with an Indian tribe or with any of the border citizens, he is the man who is sent to confer and he always does it in such away that the opposing forces feel perfectly satisfied. He has again demonstrated his wqpderful ability by his settlement of the controversy wih Mexico, obtaining what this pation wished and yet retaining the good will of the leaders of Mexico, in fact improving it.

McNutt was nominated by the democratic state convention for the appellate bench the Indianapolis News said the “machine put him over and defeated Edwin Corr, an antimachine man.” Friday Governor Ral-

1 The community Bible class met with Mrs. W. J. Myers last Monday evening. Although this was the last ipeeting to be held with their much loved teacher, Mrs Rev.

We hope that we still have a sufficient quantity on hand, but it would not surprise us if some of our readers were sadly disappointed at the end of the distribution. It was with this in mind that we today urge all those who have not availed themselves of the opportunity to clip their coupons at once. We shall still run the coupon for a few days longer in order that all may take advantage of what is a very unusual offer on the part of a newspaper. DR.

Dear Friends: — Please do not forget to do some thinking along this line: Have I a good title to my farm? Have I a good title to my city property? Have I an abstract of its title? Was an abstract ever made of it? How long have I been in possession? If I have no abstract, why didn’t I insist on one when I bought? Did I inherit my farm? Were the court proceedings all regular and proper? Now please remember, nowadays, when you sell your property and give deed the purchaser demands good title. Then it is up to you to have an abstract made and if there are any defects in your title, to have them corrected. Why not have that abstract made now? We will make it up for you at a reasonable charge. Our office is next door to the postoffice. Respectfully, THE BOWERS REALTY COMPANY. F. M. SCHIRMELEY.
