V00RHIES, Publisher AVOID A PUBLIC CALAMITY Self-government is the one great blessing which has been handed down to us by the fathers of the republic and its highly important that we show our full appreciation of the boon which has come to us. To prove ourselves worthy of this inestimable political heritage we must make a proper use of the ballot, and in no instance can we do this to greater advantage than in the affairs of our own county. The election is scarcely three weeks away and it is all important that we be ready to do our part when we stand before the ballot box. It must be remembered that we are acting in defense of our property and our families, therefore we must go to the polls to act in unison with our neighbors in securing good government. It is a square deal wc must demand and the Lordj knows that is little enough to ask. The most important office in our county is that of county judge. This high position has much to do with the weal or woe of our local government; therefore this of ficial should be every inch a judge in order that the scales of justice may lie properly balanced. During the past four years many thousands of dollars have passed through the county court; this money was furnished by the tax payers. Some $50,000 of the sum expended was used on our highways, and as most people know, we have little to show for it. Scarcely a mile of permanent road has been constructed. The idea has been to fill up the highway in summer with material of which to make im passable mud in the winter. This is a direct injury to the property owner, be he farmer, fruit grower, miner or busi ness man. This wilful waste has brought us woeful want of public highways. Clood roads will enable us to haul heavy loads of produce to town the year around and will add to the general prosperity of the people of the entire county. Our present roads are good only six months in the year. If that is all we are looking for, then half the money they have cost would be a large sum to pay for so little.' y We are now afforded an opportunity to bring pros nrritv to all Darts of Josenhine count v bv reforming the i . i i ; county court. We need a man in the ol'I'ice of county judge who will do things and do them in the proper way and who will not think it more important to keep his ear to the ground to determine his political chances rather than serve the best interest of the tax payers. There are two good men in nomination for positions in the county court. M. J. Anderson as judge has every qualification called for 1o (ill this high position. Should he be elected he will serve the county in a manner that will give satisfaction 1o those who pay the taxes of the county, as well as those who are interested in the upbuilding of our industrial and commer cial interests. His election will be the beginning of bet ter conditions in all lines of business. This office is close ly connected wilh everything material in our county and to place a man of Anderson's ability and integrity at the head of the court is the one to do at this time. Should the voters of this county by their ballots continue, the old regime it would be a public calamity. 0 WIV To Induce Their Husbands to Purchase Their Winter Over- coats an Suits of us. Our coats are cut and made in the very latest style, and tailored as they should be, and moreover every purchaser is sure of getting just what he thinks he is getting. Our prices have already pleased hundreds of SMART BUYERS and we are willing to abide by the decision of the wife who will induce her husband to call at our store with her and take a look. I!
