Thorough ventilation of views in this matter is a public benefit It is a question which concerns every taxpayer and merits full discussion and were the directors more frank in stating or explaining their inten tions it would bode loss opposition to their project. The public should not tolerate any dirk lantern methods . and before voting the money to the directors it is entitled to know how and where they pro pose to spend it and what manner of building and its probable cost is contemplated. Let the plans be on exhibition. We want a new school house but those who contribute the means to build it should have an opportunity to judgo of its arrange ment and architecture. The road bill before the house in this state should pass in some form. The system of working roads as practised by many supervisors is a farce. Much money is spent yearly and it is difficult to say that our rdids, with few exceptions, where there has been some good work done are any better than the? were a quarter of a century ago. The hills are there with gutters in the middle of the roads just as" they have always been, the roads with few exceptions are no wider though they bear greatly increased sorvi tnde in the way of travel, not only with teams, but wheels and autos, and farmers are yet standing be tweea the light of improvement and their own interests. Pass a bill that will give as better roads at much less expense than we are now bearing. CANDIDATES NOMINATED WKTFALL DEMOCRATIC Supervisors I. W. Van Gordon, Alvah J. Dewitt. School directors E. B.

KEFLY TO "TAX PATER" (Continued From First Page) stated in the article, they could have refrnined from acting at this time, and the two new directors would have been elected without the poo pie being; advised of the especial necessity for care in the choice of audi new directors The poople hive the opportunity to elect "fair, intollieent men" at this time, the very same time they are voting on the question as to the propriety of raising money, o build a pew school house, in the manner proposed The candidates now for the office and before the people, chosen at the caucus of both parties, are Mr. Fred A. Beck, Mr. Wm. T. Struble, Dr II. E. Emerson and Dr. Robt. G Barckley, the people can Belect any two of these and if none be fit, it is not yet too late to supply others by nonination papers or otherwise. The present board of school direct ors, whom it is the pleasure, of the writer of said article, to style, "ignoramnsns" and to threaten with all manner of direful 'punishment,' "removal troni office" and "indict ment" are men in whom the people have seen proper to place confidence men "who have gone in and out among us" for years, and it is not for me to even attempt to uphold or sustain them before the people, they represent and are engaged in most honorable occupations, two of them being farmers, one the owner of an extensive milling business, one a merchant, one a Judge of our oourt, and the other a practicing physician all married men, with children of their own to educate, and together bearing no insignificant proportion of the taxes assessed aud levied in the district. And now who is this self appointed critic, the author of the article? Certainly whoever such may be, moral courage is wanting this is evidenced in more ways than me. the call for "five taxpayers" to help the writer, "go before the court," the failure to sustain the oommuni- oation with a name, the covering op of identity under the generic term "Taxpayer" all show this, and I have no hesitancy in saying if "Taxpayer" will come out in the light "and be known of all men. the comparison the people will make, as between the members of the school board of MUford and "Taxpayer," will not be favorable to the latter. They would under no circumstances want such a character as "Taxpayer" as a school director or in any other office, and it may be (I am "guessing" now) that "Tax payer" has aspired to hold this very office and failing to attain it, seeks solace in thus venting spleen and ill nature against those whom the people are willing and glad to have represent them.

From now on, for several weeks we are to study together at the evening servues, the lust, diiys of the life of Jesus. The events that are connected with His life who died for our sing according to the gospel, arc full o' the truth that is always needed as a warning to the unsaved and a source of spiritual uplifting to the redeemed. Arrangements are rapidly being made for the jSewnrk annual con ference. It is only two months off the writer received a communica tion this week from the leader of the conference quartet to the effect that we are expected to furnish music Mr. Eaton, our first linss, has left the itineracy and is now devoting all of his tima to sacred music training choirs, and soloists in rendering sacred music. Too little attention is given to this pnrt of church work. Singing, when done in the spirit, is one of the greatest avenues of spiritual power We wish him great success in his r.ew field. At the meeting of the trustees of the church, held last Wednesday evening, plans were accepted and contracts given to improve the par sonage. T. R. J. Klein is to 'do the plumbing and heating and B. Brown is to do the repairing and building. The painting and paper hanging Is to bo done by day's work The house is to be piped fcr gas The entire cost, will be $770. Of this we have a88, insurance money The balance is to be raised by sub scription payable by the first next September. When this work is done the parsonage will be neat and well equipped a home any one need ask for. Literature has come to the front Booth Tnrkington, the novelist, ns member of the Indiana legislature, made the renominating speech for Senator Fairbanks. Good for Booth! As well as a clever writer he Is a red hot republican. The Panama cnflal treaty has been duly signed by the Colombian speciiil representative anil by Hecretiiry.Hay The treaty now remains to be ratified by the Senate, then by the Colombian Senate; then we will commence digging- George Fred Williams, of Boston, is seeking to organize a party out of the remnants of his one time prestige. It should be called the Democratic Refuse Heap. The death of Editor Gonzales, under the pistol of the Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, is likely to fjster the impression abroad that American civilization Is not up to our boasted high standard. Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes im possible. Strengthen "the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is .good too, but it is vx-ry hard to digest. The time to treat consump tion is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't. Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion, If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consump tion you can't expect to be cured at once, bu if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular, in your treat ment you w ill win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, tet all you can, eat all you er.n, that's the treatment and I'.at's the best treatment. We will scud you a liule of the Fjitul iion fice. le 6i:re tVT tl ii picture Ir.

Presbyterian Chroniclings t!3y ItWE: M. mend.) Services next. ' &ibbftth as usual ; the morning sermon will take np another topic In the life of our Lord, namely "Thd First Disciples of Jesus." The pastor regrets the inclemency of the weather last Sunday and the consequently small congregation. iiiose who come next Sunday will find the thread of the sequence in these sermons un broken by ttieir absence last week. the evening; sermon will be in the interest of the Y, P. S. C. E. All young peoplo whether members of this society or not are most cordial ly invited. The sermon will be especially for the youth of the com munity. The pastor takes great pleasure in announcing that Miss Gertrude Gumble has completed her task of learning the Westminister shorter catechism and has Correctly repeat ed the answers to the 107 questions to the writer. She has been the first of the chiss to get through. There ate two.or three others who will prolfnbly bo mentioned in a similar maimer next week. The young people have been very faith tul and persistant and all deserve great credit' They will each receive a nice Bible as a reward of their achievement. At a meeting of the Hatchet so ciety Inst Tuesday evening it was decided to hold their annual Wash- ington's birthday supper on Friday evening, Feb. 20. The gentlemen have given good satisfaction in the past and we hope their efforts will be sustained in every way, Last year they were handicapped by heavy odds in the teirible storm Some may' have felt disappointed and discouraged for one reason or another but the pastor feels conn dent that lid One will hold a feeling over into this year.'. The matter of furnisUing 'tonveyances.is a very cotnplteatodpns as all , will rapidly see nnil wheti the responsibility of a large supper such as the gentlemen give is taken into consideration we must admit jt-Urfc it is marvelous that thoy have done so well. May this one organization of men for the assistance of the church be long perpetuated and encouraged. The pastor was more than snr prised the other day to receive a beautiful Morris chair from New York and Brooklyn friends. The gift is from Mr. and Mrs. Schraf and Mr. and Mrs. Uollingsbead, The thought of having been remem bered is a very grent satisfaction and the pleasure of having had these loyal friends in our congregation last summer also makes this present a most enjoyable one. This is the time of year when the evenings are long and tho opportu nity foi; self improvement is at its heighL "Twits' pastor t realizes that the.greii4, iuj)rltj? of jiis people are readipg thej good , books so kindly placed nt their disposal by James W.

Com mune with the great . spirits and broad intellects of all times through their writings and no man or woman can lead a narrow bigoted existence. The young of our homes should be encouraged in every possible way to uso the library freely. If the child ren do not take to rending naturally it is wrong if the parents do not nse every method reasonable to get them interested.
