Republicans of Jackson township seemingly do not take any great interest in the organization work of the party, as the members who attended the meeting here Saturday afternoon were so very few that we are ashamed to mention the exact number. As a matter of fact, the republican party in this township is partly a bunch of “sore-heads” who purposely stay away from the party meetings so as to be apparently justified in registering their perpetual kick. Until this spirit is overcome and a feeling of unity and harmony made to prevail, the above party in this township can hope for but little success.

PARR. Having some nice weather again these days. Roy M. Hurley has moved into tne Ernest Stibbe place. Amos Davisson shipped a car of cattle Tuesday night.

Greenlee will move into the Norman property. Chas. Stewart, the truant officer, was in our midst Wednesday ordering some of the children to school. It is too bad that children have to be “made” to go to school. Miss Mamie Myers is looking to take the measles and has been sent to the pest house, and Mrs. Mattie Porter will attend her as nurse. We hope she will pull through O. K. The attendance at school has been very slim the past few weeks on account of the measles attacking the majority of the pupils and sending them to their homes for a week or so. John Me— went north on a wolf chase Monday, but did not succeed in getting a shot-at one of the much sought for animals, or perhaps he would of have brought one of the sly fellows home with him. A very unusual dish was served at the beanery last Sunday fevening. This dish was ordered and eaten by one of the owners. It is almost beyond the limit to even mention such a thing and should not be tolerated. • The shredders have been very busy in this neighborhood this week. Some of the farmers had begun to think they were going to husk their shock corn by ihand. Mr. Shredder, try and get around a little earlier nexv year. Buck Me— and John Lakin are the champion hunters these days. They caught five polecats right in the middle of the road Tuesday. This is a very unusual occurrence. But most anything is possible with these animate. The Squire Dingee people loadea out the last car of pickles here last week. They are expecting to do a Mg business here next season, and they will be able to do it if they are willing to make the price right, or the price te what talliks. Ike Stephenson has moved to town and has sent in his application to join the whittling gang. But he wants them to furnteih the knife. Ike is a pretty good fellow and I think the knife will be furnished and his applllcation accepted. Good. The literary at Wood’s Halil Saturday was almost a complete failure. But come out again next Saturday, we are expecting to have a good program and a rousing, oldfashioned debate by W. L. Wood and Wm. Smith. Subject, “Woman Sufferage.’’ G. M. Wilcox and son Trevor were in our burg Tuesday looking after some business'. They will depart for their new home at Eugene, Ore., in the near future.
