; Now is the time to circulate democratic literature. Your county paper is the best thing that can be circulated, because everybody will read it on account of local interests where they would not read a city paper. -Yon cant do a greater service to your party thanto use your influence to get all yonr neighbors to take this pap sr. Not half of the democrats do it. All should. ;i The following, clipped from an cxrhange is suggestive : Every line in a newspaper costs somebody something. If it be for the benefit of an individual or firm, it should be paid for. If the grocer was asked to donate groceries' to persons abundantly able to pay for them he would refuse. The proprietors of a newspaper most pay for the free advertising, if the- beneficiary v does not. " f

The Duncan Clark show last Fri day night had a hundred dollar house. It could hardly be called a refined Bfeow,, yet many fully as bad play to large audiences of the best people in. the larger cities. The audience here, which was composed almost wholly of males, rather encouraged a "loud" perf ormance,and they got it to an extent that kept within the bounds of propriety .One of the features of the show was a big blonde with a black eye, said to have been inflicted by a jealous rival while at Mitchell

Prof. Zaring, principal of the Spencer High School, very unexpectedly tendered his resignation oi his position to the school board last Monday night. He had been doing first-class work in the schools, and his resignation was a great surprise to the board. Mr. Zaring will leave Friday morning for Europe, where he goes to look after the business and interests of the estate of Sir Lord Olipbant, recently deceased, who was a relative of his wife, and a distinguished English philanthropist scientist of great wealth and renown on the other side of the Atlantic. He will be accompanied by his wife and her sister. They will remain in London till spring, summer at Versailles, and then go to Hyphia, Syria, where Lord Olipnant had large interests and where he spent a large part of his time in writing and study. This visit abroad will give Mr. Zaring a splendid opportunity for travel and study in foreign lands, and he may remain abroad for several years.His many friends in Speucer, while regretting his departure, heartily wish him a pleasant voyage and a happy return.

The religions revival season is at

hand. "What will the harvest be?'

Will it be mostly composed of the

ignorant and th'e sensational who

on such occasions get religon in

their heads but none in their hearts

and in a few short weeks are on the

backsliders' list, then up again weeping at the mourner's bench the

next year? Will it be mostly of

children of immature years whose

feelings can at an j time be worked upon so that they will promise arythingat any time and repudiate it in their calmer moments? If the past

is any criterion, it will be largely

composed of the above classes, but

let us hope there will be at least

Tew grains of wheat among the

chaff. Let us hope that at least

one or Wo souls will be made clean and pure indeed. Let us hope that

many of those now in the church who claim to be e'ean and pure,but

whom the world sees in their true

light, will undergo another renovation. If I were at the head of a big revival I would have my mourner's bench full of these people. That would be a more appropriate place for them than the place given them among the leaders of the meeting. I confess that I am a skeptic as to the methods of conducting the reviv als. It would be embarrassing for me to go into one of them and be approached by a bad man or woman and invited to "Come to Christ." I might so far forget myself as to answer that I would gladly accept the invitation, because if I did go I

would be far out of the reach of the

contaminating influence of the one

ending the invitation. Or, I

might be tempted to turn exhorter myself and give some w holesome ad

vice, right then and there. I would like to have some statistics from

the churches of this town, showing

how many have been "converted" nder the excitement of religious

revivals, and how many of those are

firm in the faith to-day. Then we might see if-it would not pay better to preach and work for more religion of the heart and not go much religion only of the brain But, I admit, my ways are not proper. I ;heard a church member say the other day that the Local Preacher was a 'damn fool," no matter who he or she was. I had been treading on that fellows corns. See?

Reader, did yon ever take the trouble to file away your home paper for a year? It costs you nothing and volume in your library will afford more pleasure, more profit and more benefit. Your home paper gives dates of all local events which you cannot obtain elsewhere -marriages, obituaries, legal notices,etc. In short your local paper is a history of the world in which you live. It is worth filling away for future reference.
