A wild cat, hob-goblin or some other terrible noisy varmint of some kind is frightening the “night riders” who travel the road east of town. Different people have been continually claiming to have heard some such awful noises, over east of late, but no attention was given it, until Dr. Kentling claimed that he heard enough while passing Ed Stulls woods the other night, to make him feel like he would just as soon be at home as any place, so he wasn’t long in making up his mind. Whether or not it was some wild animal, or some “calamity howlers” over in tke woods having a time with a campaign jug, is yet to be found out.

The Bloomington Daily World of yesterday, the great democratic organ of the county, states yesterday just what the News has been contending from the beginning that there is no politics in the consideration in voting for a trustee. “That the township trustee fills one of the most important offices in the county.” These trustees elect the county superintendent of schools, appoint the township teachers and are responsible for the schools and education in their township.” —So you see that there is a great deal at stake in hiring the school teachers. So again let us say cast votes for the man and not on your party principles.
