THURSDAY MARCH 22, 1906. Lexington and' The Wheatfield have received considerable free advertising from the county press the past few months. The Proclaimer man re lieved himself of the following In the last issue: Twinkle, twinkle, little star; How 1 wonder what you are. Up above the paper staff, Like a Wheatfield full of chaff. To which we add: When the Proclaimer's sun has set, And Carter's eyes with tears are wet; Still the Wheatfild's shining light, Will burn brilliant, day and night. The best way to ascertain a man's real worth and standing js to go to his home neighborhood, where his daily walk and conversation are an open book. . Such a test will disclose only good for John H. Aitkin's cause, for his friends and neighbors are jumping at the chance of saying good things about him as a citizen and also re garding his standing as a successful business man. There can be no question but what he is a man well worthy of the confidence and respect of the people of Oregon, and he is go ing to make a mighty fine official, one who would reflect much credit upon this great commonwealth.

Nich ols, of Dayton, Wash., was dead. W. F. Barnett, Mesdames W. E. Leach, J. M. White and Grandma Thompson went there Saturday to attend the funeral. Little Fay was 4 years and 29 days old. Fay was an exceedingly bright child for her age. A few days before death she was taken with pneu monia and none realized that death was so near. Mr. and Mrs. Nichols are well known here and all express words of sorrow and sympathy for the bereved family Dear Fay thou has left us; Here thy loss we deeply feel; But 'tis God who has bereft us, He can all our sorrow heal. Fay, thou wast mild and lovely, Gentle as the summer breeze, Pleasant as the air of evening When it floats among the trees. Resting in thy silent slumber, Resting in the grave so low, Thou no more will join our number, Thou no more our songs shall know. Yet again we hope to meet the When the day of life is fled, And in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tear is shed. NOTICE.
