GET READY FOB THE FOURTH
It is a good program the committee
in charge of things for the Fourth of
July has prepared. It will provide a
day of excellent entertainment for citi
zens ami visitors. The reversion to the
good o:d principle of the Fourth of July
patriotic address is one of those steps
backwards that it is wall to take ? like
going back to the old home for the
Christmas dinner. It is good for the
Individual soul as well as the body poli
tic, present and future. It is a build
ing feature,? a building for the young
aaa a strengthening of the structure lor
the old. Once a year it is good to call
to micd why we are patriotic, to con
over the blessings we enjoy and to know
how we came upon them. The list of
sports is a long and lively one and will
fill in a busy afternoon of pleasure.
And what with music and dancing we
shall all get our money's worth- It is
to be boped that every citizen will do
his par: lo make the celebration the
greatest in the history of tlie town.
Husiness men each one? now plea;*
turn to the work of putting up the Moat
that will carry away the prize. The
parade should be made the event of the
day.
Governor Cummins, who announces
an intention to resign and ratura to the
practice of law, is evidently sore. Dis
appointment is the real test of men.
Governor Gummins does not stand the
test. He has no right to resign the
office of governor to which he allowed
himself to be elected, ju?l because they
picked somebody else for vice-presi
dent.
Tbe reports that come to us every
day now of tbe return of thousands of
men to work at the old hlt;h wages do
not matce a good outlook for a "popu
list" year, does it'.' The bard times that
wore to turn the dominant party out
aod put the minority party in are evi
dently cot going to materialize. This
is too bad? for Mr. Bryan.
That man Gallagh-r who testiSed in
the graft cases seems to have gotten
himself disliked. Not satisfied with
trying to bio* hitu up, some dyna
miters have been after all bis relatives
and their personal property.
This ii the first day of July. If you
have any skill at counting at all, you

WORK
(By Henry Van Dyke)
Let me but do my work from day to |
day,
in field or forest, at the desk or loom, I
In roaring market place or tranquil |
room;
Let me but God it in my heart to say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me
astray,
"This is my work; my bless ng, not
?uy doom;
Of all who live, I am the one by
whom
This work can bast be done in the right
way.
Then shall I see it not too great, nor
small,
To suit my spirit aud to prove my
powers;
Then shall I cheerful greet the labor
Ing hours
And cheerful turn when the long
shadows fall
At eventide, to play and love and1
re?t,
Because I know for mc ray work is best.

power at the head of the procession.
This is an occasion where it is not only
right and proper to vote early and

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadod disease that scienco has
been able to cure in all its stages, and

foundation of the disease, snd giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assistiug nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars lor any
case it fails to cure. Send for list of!
