It is a question whether the most of as will have sense enough left by the time the campaign is over to know how to find the polls on election day. Everybody will be glad when the campaign of education is over, if for no other reason than that we will get sweet, peaceful rest from those imfernal tin horns. Should the date of a young man’s 21st birthday chance to fall on November 4, the day following the election, he i is entitled to a vote. The day of elec ■ tion being the last day of his 20th year, the law says that he has the right to 1 vote. Postmaster General Wilson's country delivery scheme will be given a trial. Mail is to be delivered through the ; country districts by mounted carriers. One county in a state is to be selected for the trial. Charleston, West Virginia, I and Kalamazoo, Michigan, will be among the first places to try the new plan. The snail will be delivered within 3'., miles It is pleasant and profitable to talk over the political issues with a reasonable person, though he may hold views opposite to your own. Valuable ideas and useful information are thus often I gained. But never for a moment waste j your time on a narrow-minded, impu- •, deni, abusive chap who can see no right ( or honesty only on his side of the ques- ( tion. It is time and temper lost for ( which there is no compensation. । Horace Rublee, editor of the Milwau ( kee Sentinel, died a few days since. He । was regarded as one of the foremost editors of the country, and was especially ~ proficient and talented in literature. He was a politician of some note, but was not one of the dishonorable, tricky kind. He was chairman of the republican state central committee of Wisconsin for ten years and as such demonstrated that a man can be a successful politician and ■ yet retain his honor and manhood. He was minister to Switzerland during Grant's administration. —•

The Toledo Weekly Blade. Every intelligent family needs in addition to their local paper a good national, weekly. The greatest and most widely known general family newspaper is the Toledo VI eekly Blade.

It is edited with refer | < • a national circulation. It is a 1 Republican paper, but men of all politics take it, because of its honesty and fair ness in the discussion of all public questions. It is the favorite family paper, with something for every member of the | household. Serial stories, poetry, witand humor: the Household department .best in the world). Young Folks, Sunday School Lessons, Talmage's Sermons, the Farmstead, the Question Bureau (which answers questions for subecribers). the News of the week in complete form, and other special features.

Address The Blade, Toledo, Ohio. J. F. Reed, the druggist, made the Tyner U. B. church a present of a fine pulpit bible, for which he has the sincere thanks of that people and the pastor. J. W. R. The dedication at Tyner next Sunday promises to be the greatest occasion in the history of that place. Nothing has been spared to make it a grand success.

Death of Mrs. W. A. Dailey. The news of the death of Mrs. W. A. Dailey on last Wednesday evening was a shock to the people here and a sudden bereavement that can hardly yet be realized by her many friends. For many months she had been afflicted with heart trouble, but sho kept the most of her suffering to herself and was always so vivacious and energetic that it was impossible to realize her real condition. On Monday she and her husband went to South Bond, returning Tuesday evening and sho felt unusually well and enenjoyed the trip. In the evening she practiced some of her new music and then read awhile before retiring. It was 5 about three the next morning when she r had one of her fainting spells to which , she was subject. The doctor was called f and she seemed to rally from it quicker than usual and fell into a quiet slumber. ’ About seven o’clock they noticed her breathing hard and saw that from slum- ■ her she passed into a death like stupor ; from which no earthly skill could rouse । her, and at five in the afternoon her feeble pulse ceased to beat. It is a comfort to her sorrowing friends to know that she was sweetly resigned and pai tiently and cheerfully awaiting the call , that she knew she might expect at any moment. She was a woman of rare conversational ability and was loved by all who knew her for her kindness and no bility of character. Twelve years ago they buried their only child, Iva, a bereavement from which she never recovered. She leaves a husband, sister, two brothers and other relatives to mourn her loss. She was born in Marshall county, October 23, 1850, and was buried on the day which would have been her forty sixth birthday. Her maiden name was Mary L. Curtis and she was married to W. A. Dailey, Decern her 7, 1867. The funeral was held from the residence on Friday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. Pavey. To Be Read Aloud Qnlckly. As I was going down the street I saw two bootblacks. One was a black bootblack and the other a white b<x>t black, and both had black boots, as well as blacking and brushes. The black bootblack asked the white bootblack to black his, the black bootblack's black boots with blacking. The white lxx>t black consented to black the black boots of the black Ixxitblack with blacking, bpt when he, the white bootblack, had blacked one black boot of the black lwx>t black with blacking, he, the white boot black, refused to black his, the black bootblack s, other black boot with black ■ ing unless he, the black Ixxitblack, paid , him, tin' white bootblack, the saint' as ; what he, the white bootblack, got for । blacking other people’s black b<H>ts, i whereupon the black bootblack grew t still blacker in the face, called the white bootblack a blackguard, at the same time hitting the white bootblack with the black lxx>t that he, the white boot black, had already blacked with black ing. Boston Budget. Printing the State Ballots. A dispatch from Indianapolis says the work of printing the 1,500,1X10 official state ballots was begun at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday night in the presence of republican and democratic watchers appointed by the clerk of the election board. Thirty-eight assistant watchers, evenly divided between the two parties, have been employed to take charge of the ballots as they come from the presses, transport them to the state house and separate them for distribu tion to the counties. The ballot is about the size of one page of an ordinary eight column news paper and every ballot box in the state will have to be enlarged or new ones provided to accommodate the 250 bal lots which represents the number of voters in a precinct. As the ballot must be folded when

’ deposited in such away as to leave the initials of the polling clerks exposed it lis believed that many votes will be i thrown out on account of mistakes in j folding, owing to the cumbersome sheet.
