Joe Hiiliard, who is teaching school at Kersey, was home Sunday School day. Joe says that he keeps on he will soon be a full grown Kerseyite. The Wheatfield correspondent wishes to know why the D. V. boys come to their town so often. Why, bless your heart, they come down to see the girls. If you were to ask arfew of your girls if the D. V s . boys love them, they would blush ana be forced to say, “yes.” Isn’t love a funny thing. As election draweth near, the responsibility that rests on each voter increases. You are not going to decide the welfare of some foreign people but the destiny of yourself and family. The Democratic party has put forth some of its best men ior the various offices, men whom you know are good, honest men. Now, can you afford to vote against your interest, by turning them down? Place these men in the various county offices and you will see one of the greatest reformations that can be had. Honesty will be exalted and economy crowned with the diadem of justice. The campaign of Jasper county was opened at Wheatfield Thursday evening, Oct. 9, by the Capt. Wm. Guthrie, the democratic candidate for congress. The meeting was called to order by County Chairman E. P. Honan of Rensselaer, and in a few well chosen words he introduced the speaker of the evening. Mr. Honan does all things well. Capt. Guthrie's address was not a tirade of abusive epithets hurled at his opponents, bnt it was an address in which facts were bullets and arguments were swords. Of course, some took offence, but they would have found fault if they had been at Marshills and heard St, Paul's oration. While here the Capt, made a good impression. The people of the Tenth district will be doing the wise thing if they send to Congress as its representative the Hon. William Guthrie.
