What would be the result of another Democratic victory and what could we expect of a Democratic Government? We would have free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, irredeemable paper money, and a low, or free trade tariff. If you want these things, vote the Democratic ticket. John M. Palmer, who was the candidate of the gold democrats for President two years ago. has written a letter denouncing the heresies of the Democratic party and declaring that he considers it the duty of every sound money democrat to vote for sound money candidates only. He will vote for

the Republican candidate for Congress in his district. CM ; 11 1111 .. ‘There will be three" tickets for the voter to cast at the coming election. The state ticket, printed on pink paper, the township ticket, printed on yellow paper, and the county ticket printed oh white paper. To exercise your sovereign power correctly, when the poll official places in your hand these three ballots, take the state ticket and with the blue pencil provided make a cross (x) within'the large circle containing the eagle, .then take tip the yellow sheet and do' likewise, and finally pay your best respects to the county ticket. To be absolutely certain of making no mistake in voting for county officers we advise every Republican in Jasper county to make only one cross on his ballot and that within the large circle wherein the proud bird of freedom soars. When you have thus marked the ballots carefully fold each one separately so tjiat the initials of the poll clerks will appear outside and present them to the inspector who will deposit each in a ballot box of their respective color. You can then retire from the room feeling that your duty has been conscientiously accomplished and the best imterests of the nation, the state, the county and the township fully subserved.

Young Christians may make mistakes in working for Christ, but they make a greater mistake in not working for Him. The writer had the pleasrue of attending the union Rally Day exercises of Barkley Township at the Christian church at Valma last Sunday. It was indeed a day of railing and a very helpful, live meeting throughout. Pres. Faris and wife with several others from a distance were present. The music was unusually good. The North Lawn school did themselves credit the way they sang the number assigned them. At the close of the meeting after a few well chosen remarks from Elder Brady as to the purpose of the meeting a liberal collection was taken for state work. Rally Day is one of the many good things that originated in our own state and after three years of trial we know it to be a grand good thing, let every school in the county who has not already done so, observe it. Environment is supposed to settle the question of what a man is and what a man does. Environment is merely a cant phrase for surroundings. A man’s surroundings do have a great deal to do with shaping his character and his career but in the long run what is inside of a man is far more importance to him and to others than what is outside of him. When a man meets obstacles in his surroundings his environment if left to itself would stop his progress but if his inner self is determined to go ahead he surmounts the obstacles and proves himself a hero, the man who yields to his environment ordinarily proves a failure. The hero who will not yield to his surroundings has true success in spite of his environment.
