AIlDnmfote

Are Not Pleased Over Proposed

Change of Plan for Carrying

the Mail.

The proposed plan of congress and the postoffice department to place all the routes of the rural free mail delivery service under the contract system, or what is known as the star route mail service, has aroused the rural route carriers aud farmers till they are preparing to make a fight against the plan.

The carriers are opposed to it because the government is seeking to introduce the plan to cut down expenses in carryingjthe"rural mail, and to do so those who contract to carry the mail would make such low bids that the}" would have to cut down the salaries of the carriers very materially. This the carriers say would work a great hardship upon them as margin after paying their expenses in equipment and keeping up that equipment: would be so small that they would be forced to quit.

The farmers are objecting because they know that if under the contract system the good men could not afford to carry the mails that if they were carried at all they would be carried by men who would not be up to the standard and give poor service.

It means a great deal to have the mail delivered promptly and accurately at their door,|and the supsension or lessening of the reliability of the service would work a hardship that would be universally felt. If the farmers get properly aroused to the gravity of the threatened situation, there will be such a deluge of mail to congressmen and senators as they have never received before.

Story of Forty Years Ago. Lew Banks in doing some repair work recently found a copy of the Hancock Democrat printed August 8, 1872. It was a folio, seven column paper and contained little but advertisements and political news. The Grant-Greeley px*essidential campaign had just opened. Judge David S. Gooding was a Democrat candidate for Congress, Charles G. Offutt for representative, Ernest Faut, for County treasurer, Robert P. Brown, for sheriff, James Tyner for commissioner, Stephen T. Dickerson for trustee of Center township, and Andrew Hagan for trustee of Vernon township. Wm. R. Hough was a candidate for State Senator on the Republican ticket. He was charged by the paper of disturbing a Democratic meeting at which Lyman Trumbull spoke. The paper also coutained an article as follows: "TO THE PUBLIC. We the undersigned Republicans take pleasure in declai*ing respectfully our intention of voting for Greeley and Brown for President and Vice president, Capt. A. L. Ogg, J. C. Meek, A. K. Branham, N. P. Howard, O. P. Gooding, Jonathan Lineback, Stephen McCray, A. J. Herron, L. W. Gooding, W. S. Catt" and others.

Mr. Hough, who was makingspeeches for the Republicans, was accused of fighting the war over again. The Greenfield Commex'cial was the Republican paper of that day and was called the Jerry Wilson organ. Judge Wilson was the candidate against Judge Gooding for Congress.' The Gi'ant administration was strongly chax'ged of fraud and robbery.

At that time Rev. John Dixon was pastor of the Presbyterian church. The lawyers advertising in the paper were, Chas. G. Offutt, A. W. Hough, Montgomery Marsh, Thomas H. Branham, and Ephraim Marsh. C. C. McGann, F. H. Crawford, W. S. Wood, A. D. Wills, Hamilton & Williams, W. C. Burdett, Peden &: Barnett, Frank Hafner, A. E. Teal, John Walsh, John McCarty and Joseph Williams were business xnen who advertised. Jackson Wills was proprietor of the Guy mo xi House. George W. Sample was sheriff. The subscription price of the Dexnocrat was $1.50 per year in advance.

One Hundred Fifty Dollar Land., Township Trustee, O. W. Kuhn, of Brown township was in Greexifield Friday afternoon. He said be had just closed a deal by which he sold 40 dcres of improved land northeast of Willow Branch for $6000 cash. Mr. Kuliix advertised his farm in this paper a few weeks ago, and he said that the fifty cents he spent for advertisixxg was a great deal better than paying $50 commission to have an agent find a buyer for him. He has already the work of improving a one hundred acre farm he owns east of Willow Branch. He will erect a house axxd barn on the farm.

Twelve years ago Mr. Kuhn purchased the land which he sold this week at $50 per acrfe. He received per acre for it,

For those particular people who desire beautiful complexion and who want to keep the skin at its best all the time—keep it clear, flexible, smooth and give it the glow of health—there is nothing as good as A. D. S. Peroxide Cream, because it contains a small quantity of Hydrogen Peroxide, the great antiseptic healing and cleansing agent.

Its action upon a red, blotched, pimply, scaly, unsightly skin is very jronounced.

When used as a massage it has a tendency to eradicate wrinkles and to nourish the tissues. It if a mild bleach—perfectly harmless and will not grow hair.

This is one of the leading prepay ations made by the American Druggists Syndicate, which is c,omposeiJ of 12,000 responsible druggists, andi it is but one of the famous A. D. S. Peroxide Family.

Attorney General Holds They MmsS

Compensate Owners Fine Stock

For Value Lost.

In an opinion given yesterday to Dr. Robert J. Aley, (State superintendent of public instruction, Attorney General Bingham held that a township trustee is required by law to compensate an owner of fine stock killed or maimed by dogs for the full value of the property. The value is deterxnined by ascertaining the purposes for which the aiximal was kept. An animal kept for breeding purposes is not to be valued by the pound, as would a hog to be sold for pork, says Edward M. White, assistant attorney general, who wrote the opinion.

IxlviEMOIilAM.

In memory of Charley Monger, who died Juxxe 15, 1910.

His brief life is o'er, he has drifted away, Some where with the angels so bright. Oh! friends, grieve not for Charley so dear. He has missed, of this life, so much sorrow andi care. And surely His way must be right.

Though we sometimes rebel and think Him nr.* just. Some day it will all be made plain, We will know why our loved ones are called from our sight. If we trust in His mercy, all will be right. And we know that our loss is his gain.

We have done all we could, gone as far as we can, To the grave 'neath the flowers so fair. Though we miss his dear presence, we know he is safe, Some time, some how, we shall meet face to face. On the beautiful isle of somewhere.

Beautiful isle of somewhere, there where tha tears never fall, There all our heartaches shall cease, When earth's fairest visions shall fade from one mind. On its bright shore may we each one find Etercia peace.
