Farming must be a good business
for the reason that so many poor far
mers continue to hold possession of
their farms. There are farmers who
are not worthy of the name, who are
shiftless, behind hand with their
work, allowing buildings to rnn
down and to be left nnpainted, allow
ing machinery to stand out doors the
year round without protection, who
in spite of all this bad management
continue to make a living and retain
possession of their land.
More unsolicited mail order sub

After a long list of dastardly deeds
convict and outlaw Tracy did a good
one at last Surrounded this time,
with no hope of escape, he gave np
hie long fight for liberty and killed
himself. Nervy and defiant to the
last, he would not allow his pursuers
the glory and satisfaction of killing
him. May we hear little more of
Tracy.
Recently a man from the conntry
was hunting harvest hands, and ap
proached a couple of hobos without
a cent in their pockets. Would they
work! Well nit. This suggest that
that every hobo who asks for a hand
out these days should be kicked over
the back yard fence. s
The Plaixpealeb is not as popular
with the politicians as it might bp,
perhaps. It is too independent. It
stands for justice, fair play and true
republicanism. This fact is recogn
ized and appreciated by ths common
people, however.

While England is to all intents

We know you are pleased with the

The local campaign for 1904 goes

I cannot hope to prove by word or looks,
That modern schools are cured with turpliia

That children's uiiuds, with things not ui.iltr-atiod,
