Miss Helen Humphrey of To wanda, is the guest of Miss Eli/.a Shaut. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Mullen visit ed relatives at Overton from Thurs day until Monday evening. The Union party is out of it. That comes from trying to nominate both democrats and Republicans to the same offices. Water and oil will not mix, neither will discordant elements from two parties become a harmon ious whole. We were constrained for several years to call Scouten, "Boss." Since the last Democratic convention the title seems to require an addition; "Boodle Boss" is the more appro priate appellation at present. "Republicans have nothing to offer." These were the words spok en in the Gazette Ollice by an inde pendent voter from Cherry township last week." The above is clipped from the Sullivan Gazette. No doubt that man had been looking around for a bath, and went to the wrong door. Let him go and ask E. G. Rogers if he knows when he can get a bath, or read Dixon's speech on the bath bill. We are conscious that we give too much prominence to Scouten, but his paper pours out falsehoods like chaff from a fanning mill, and it is our unpleasant duty to expose them. Although it is a fact established beyond question that the F. A. God charlesNail Co. is not in the nail trust or in any other trust. Scout en's Herald continues to repeat the lie. It is well for Scouten that the days of Ananias and Sapphira have past. Which is the worse, for a man to be persuaded to take the unanimous nomination of a convention for the Legislature, or for a man to be run ning around the county begging for delegates to nominate him? In one case the office seeks the man, in the other, the man seeks the office. An aneester of Ulysses Bird was one of the three pioneers in the west of this county more than a hundred years ago. His numerous decend ants have been good citizens and borne honorable names, but they have not been office seekers or office holders. Ulysses Bird did not seek the nom ination for Treasurer. lie was un animously nominated by [the Repub lican Convention without solicita tion on his part.
