Several of our town children dur ing the past week have Been alllict c<l with a strange illness, the symp tons Being those of poisoning. The Sullivan Gazette firt-d its first (campaign gui) last week. It was very ntnch like the old army musket that always kicked harder than it could shoot. If the <iaz ette will only continue to thunder away with that rusty old .shooting stick and with the same kind of ammunition that he used for the first charge, the fighting line of hi* enemy is absolutely safe.

The Hughesville Printing Co., Publishers of the Hughesville In dependent has passed into the hands of a receiver and the paper suspended. From the beginning of its first issiw live years ago the Independent held th<- well merited reputation of being the most mod ern and well edited weekly news paper published in the State. This I enterprise, tinder the management of able financiers, has but added further proof that a first-class news paper in a second-class field of Op eration has as much chance for suc cess as it blind man would have for setting type. Following the funeral of Cassie Chadwick at Woodstock, Out., her lawyers made public a will made in li)' 1-, in which the once famous wom an financier disposes to relatives, servants antl educational and chari table institutions over 51,000,000. A novel feature is that the estate is divided By tiie will into four thir<ts. This will is superceded By a later one made two year* ago at the < >liio penitentiary ami Mrs. Chadwick left no property as far as known. l! any is found it will be seized by her creditors. _ The ticket which the Republican party presents to the voters of the county this fall is the untraiunieled i choice of the voters themselves, a> it was -elected under the uniform primary law. It also commends it •.c 1 112 i* the consideration of Un people, as it is made up of men of business experience and good judg ment. If honesty were a partisan matter, then the Democratic effort to -how that the only way lo get rid of dishonesty in public affairs i> to elect Democrats to office would have much force. Isut those who; keep in touch with the world know that a Democrat is not more honest than a Republican. Every party has its demagogues and heelers, ami no party which i> strong enough to have any showing for !sucec.-s can boast of its freedom from them. Just now the Republican party in this State is making it de cidedly interesting for some grafters, who before the courts are done with | them, are likely to realize that the ]command "Thou shnlt not steal is something more than a party slo ! gan. Lee Smith, a farmer living ii"ar Lainlsville, last week killed a large j eagle near his home. lie saw the I eagle killing his chickens and went !after it hoping to capture the Bird alive. Instead of taking a weapon I he attacked the bird with his hands ] trying to catch it by the neck, when I a desperate tight ensued. The farm ier had the flesh on both his hands i torn and lacerated in the encounter, jHe liehl onto the bird, however, and when under his control be took it to his home. If Js u tine | specimen and well worth the cap turing. | The following is taken from the; j Washington Post: Thoughtful A- j ; mericaus ar« Itegimiint; to agree in ' the* conclusion that one of the eon j spicious signs of the times, to those Iw ho are able to comprehend it, is j the warning posted hy nature that ! riotous extravagance in the United 1 j States has reached the limit of safety '■ and that thrift and economy must supercede old methods. This \va n ing sign is seen on every hand; more prominently, perhaps where j ravaged forests and barren farms j reveal the work of the slayer of economy, but evident in indu-trhil 1 conditions also. When Secretary | Willson pointed out that all the] wheat land in the I'nited States] was under the plow, and that the yield would decrease unless the fruitfulness of the soil were care-, fully preserved, he signalized the turning point from youth to oritur . ity in the material growth of this; country. The I ndependen t Order of oddj Fellows is to have a new ritual for j use in its subordinate lodges. This ! was decided upon in one of the so- 1 cret sessions of the recent annual j meeting of the sovereign grand | lodge. Minor changes have been j made by the sovereign body from j time to time in the ritual now in ' use and lianlly a ftw years since aj committee was appointed to inc-or j porate these changes and prepare an j entirely new ritual, The new world will be ready for distribution by*!

Curtis Van derpool, the man who slashed his I notorious brother-in-law, "Monkey ! Jim," in the early part of September was discharged and exonerated from all Illume, it being the opinion ol the court that Curtis WHS justified in slicing his relative. Cabbage in abundance ['lie peopk who take interest in i crop conditions are trying to figure j out at the present time whether thej potato crop is decidedly short or' whether'it is almost the average crop j of recent seasons, while many po tato growers contend that the crop is , just about up to the average. This! variance of expression, however, j pr bably makes little difference, since almost famine pi ices continue | to prevail for the tubers. An Innovation and an Invitation.
