Chris Kalperer of Lafayette, former owner of the qement tile factory here, was a business visitor in the city yesterday. Why don’t you get eftvelppes printed with your name and address in one corner? None of your letters „0n then get lost. Looks business-like and makes a good impression on those you write to. You can get 100 for 50 cents at this office.

, j Mrs. Mary E. Lowe and Mrs. Smith returned home Friday evening from Jamestown, No. Dak., where they were called recently by the serious illness of Sidney Holmes. They left him in a slightly improved condition, with chances for a complete and rapid recovery. Evidently the Lake County Star, the republican organ of that county, is not a very enthusiastic Taft supporter. It says: "It will hardly make any difference whether Taft travels thirteen thousand miles, or a hundred on tour of explanation, his chances for another presidential nomination will be slim.”

Over at Watseka, 111., the first two days of the new postal savings bank the deposits are said to have been only $5, while at Kankakee the bank was open several days without any deposits whatever being made. Rensselaer, with deposits of about sll4 (unofficial) the first hour, seems to have done exceedingly well.

Remember that a new subscriber is not merely transfering the subscription from one member of a family to another member, but must be a genuine new subscriber to entitle one to the 3,000 votes. We want all contestants to be fair in this matter, and we cannot permit any switching of subscriptions to gain more votes.

John Southard of Milroy tp. left a couple of mammoth pears on our table Monday, of which variety he has two trees loaded to the ground of the fruit, and yesterday Thomas Lamson, on College Road, handed in four fine large apples, the largest measuring 15)4 inches in circumference and weighing over a pound. It is sure nice to be an editor these days.

David Halstead of Newton tp. is preparing to attend the Fowler horse show Thursday and Friday with his fine matched team of dun drivers, which won first both at Rensselaer and Remington. Miss Nellie Kennedy of Morocco, driving this same team, was declared the best lady driver at the Remington show, while Mr. Halstead also won first on his sorrel saddle horse.

A few erfors crept in W. H. Ritchey’s communication on crop conditions in Kansas,, in Saturday’s Democrat. It should have read in speaking of oats: “Some being mowed for feed; little (instead of then) being thrashed,” and “the majority of the Sunflower state are for Governor (not Senator) Stubbs; they are against Taft and for LaFollette.” Also, “Foster Downing (instead of Dunning) and Marion (instead of Martin) Timmons.”

The six weeks old babe of Mr. and Mrs. John Woosley died at McCoysburg Friday and was buried in the Benson cemetery in Milroy tp., Sunday, the funeral being held at the Milroy church at 10 a. m., Rev. Morrow of Morocco conducting the services. The child had v been sickly almost from birth. A peculiar incident if its death, we are told, was that it had apparently died and was “laid out,” when a train passing on the Monon gave a very shrill whistle, which revived the child and it began to cry. It was redressed but succumbed shortly.
