Delegates to the National Convention

Will R. Wood, ot Lafayette, George Ade, the playwright, of near B••(**k ( Warren McCray, of Keutland, and Kitt Sills, of Monticello, are thns far announced probable candidates to the republican national convention. xThese debates will be tworiir number and will be selected at a district convention to be held in Rensselaei on Feb. 4tb. . This convention is important and the outcome is important in |he selection of a republican presidential candidate. While the delegates selected will be for Fairbanks as long as there is a chance for bis nomination, the delegates to the Rensselaer convention should ascertain for whom the man they ballot Will vote in the national convention should Fairbanks fail of nomination. It is said Will R. Wood and George Ade and Kist Sills are for Fairbanks and after that for a tranp fer of their support to Knox, Foraker or any one except ,TafU Warren McCray is said to be a Taft uiAo, should Fairbanks be disposed of. Taft is pledged to the furtherance of the Roosevelt policies, is a man of elean to“every emergency of statesmanship he has yet eueuuutered. He is undoubtedly the choice of the people and the people ere greater than the politi ciaos. Let every republican turn out to the convention Saturday. Jau. 11th, and name men.tQ th« Rensselaer convention who will see to it that Fairbanks-Taft delegates are sept to this convention, and then let them find ont that the delegate they vote for to the national convention ie for Taft alter Fair banks.! . * Probably the republican party was never in gmffer~danger“tHan now of being stolen by New York finance mongrels and by corporation meu everywhere who fear t - have rln ir business, exposed to law enforcement as they are having it done this administration and are w-raio to have by Taft. Hughes. Cortelyou or LaFolette. The people at these primaries can control in the national convention. Turn ont and vote. - <»

Some Pointed Truths.

Every newspaper has its kickers in the way of people who are for ever telling you that such and such an article concerning the death of s > and so, or the marriage notice o' a certain young couple fail to extol them as it shonyi have donfe, Aft Indiana editor became tired of be ing called a liar, so he made the announcement that he would tell the absolute tiuth in the future. Tygjjext issue of the paper con taiued these local items: ‘‘John Bonin, our *dry goods merebaut was in Bellville yesterday to &et Lis son out of j ril.’’ •‘Sam Doyle, the grocerymatr, is doing a poor business, owing to histore being so filthy and the stale go )ds he has.”

•‘Rev. Stix preached Sunday ' His sermon was rotten,’*’ t '* > ‘•Dave Sbaukey died yesterday at bis borne here. The doctor gave it out as heart failure. The fact is, he was drunk and whiskey is what killed him.” “Vliss Sylvia Rhodes and Janies Couharn were married Saturday afternoon tit the Baptist, parsonage. The bride is just an ordinary town girl who doesn’t know any about cooking than a jaek-rabhn does about flying a kite, aud was never known ;to help her mother do an hour’s work in her life. is not a beauty by any means, and has a gait like a fat dock. The groom is an up to date loafer. He’s been living off the old folks all his life and don’t amount to shucks. They -wtH live with her parents wh have all they caa do to get enongh for themselves to eat.”

South and West Land Company, Chicago, Illinois.

Gentlemen: We the undersigned party on your “homeseekers” excursion of Dec. 17th, 1907, want to express to you our appreciation and at the same time thank you and compli meqt you, on the dompleteneaMof the arrangements by which we have had such an enjoyable and comfortable trip all the time from the tinye we left Chicago, until we were ready to leave tor home includ ing our trip over; land, to inspect the land yon have for sale. We had been told of this central Texas land by yon! workers and thought we had a fair idea of what we would see wheu got to the laud, but many of us were favor ably disappointed and all ,of us thoroly pleased with the land, believing it is well adapted to diversified farming such as we are accustomed to in- Illinois and Indiana. We are satisfied that a man wi*h the energy manifested in the northern farmer, exerted in this country, very profitable results can be obtained. Some of us have purchased land, others mast complete arrangements for the purchase, before we are able to buy, but we all recommend this territory to all intending purchasers for we find a delightful climate, splendid water a* a shallow depth, p enty of rain fall, building mater ial much cheaper than where we now-live, fuel very reasonable, cost ing $2.12 ror the best of coal per ton, school facilities are good, rural mail delivery and telephone services at your command. Your Pullman Palace frrivate car enables the “homesee to travel in perlectease, without being jostled and crowded as is common on regular excursions, and to all intending purchasers, we want to recommemi that they go Vlth the South and West Land Company, and see as believe the best land to be obtained in the great State of Texas. Again thanking you we are Very truly S. E. Smith, Barrington, 111. W. C. Meyer, Barrington, 111. Igr. L. Erickson, Gibson City, 111. WAS. Lo wina n, Re nsse lae r ,Ind. H. Brinker, Barrington, 111.

Layer’S ‘‘The Widow Malone,” Torn Moore’s “Believe Me,”

Needham’s “The Donovans,” “The Birds; Ely South,” “The Wearin’ of th(? Green” and other of the songs dear to the hearts of all Irishmen, and a pleasure to listeners of every nationality. Mr. O’Sullivan’s singing of these ballads and folk songs is-.co.nsidered the very highest form of the art of song. The newspapers both in’ And in Europe Have praised his art in the most enthusiastic terms." “Peggy Machree” tells the pretty story of a mock marriage which turns out to be a. real wedding, aEd the complications which ensue on the discovery of the reality of the ceremony. In the company engaged by Joseph Brooks and A. W. Dingwall to support the new star are: Elsa Ryan, Annie Veamans, Mellicent McLaughlinT Marie Welsh, Elsie Srnith, Beth Harkness, J. D.
