The pension department at Washington has made the following rule re-
gaTdlng pensioners who are addicted
tc the habit of going on "srjrees" after
drawing their pensions: "Any pensioner, the victim of strong drinks and'
dissipated habits, who makes public
nuisance of himself, may be investigated by the goyerument, and if found
guilty he is likely to be dropped from
the rolls."
The name of Mayor Mussell haying
been mentioned for senator from the
28th district on the democratic ticket
makes it look that Clare is very likely
to haye a political complexion similar
to that of St. Louis, she having both
nominees for. congress from this district. Our opinion is that the convention can place the honor on few if any
men in the district who will make a
stronger pull for the ticket.
As little seven-year-old Bernice,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Clark,
was going home from school Monday
she was attacked by a dog owned by
Peter Dowd and quite Seriously bitten, and had it not been for the aid of
Mrs. James Louch, it is hard saying
how badly the child might have been
hurt. We are informed tbis same dog
has bitten several people and attacked
others. The owner We are sure will
hereafter certainly keep the dog
chained as we feel he would have the
dog do no further harm.

Dorsey and A. B. Oan field tellers.
The minutes of last meeting were
read and approved, and it was voted
to raise $6000 school tax the coming
year. After several ballots oh each
candidate J. F. Tatman, Dr. J. H.
Carpenter and 0. H. Sutherland were
elected members of the Board of Education, the latter for two years to till
vacancy.   Forty-two ballots were cast.
The most Interest that seems to be
taken in any one county office is that
of sheriff, there being, or having been
in the field, six candidates. J. W.
XJpdegrafl, Robert Hutchinson, L. W.
Leach or George Cole will take the
office if it is urged upon either of
them. J. C. McWatty, having made
quite a thorough canvass, feels pretty
sure of tbe nomination, while the
friends of A. C. Gordanier are quite
positive in their declarations that he
willbe theJucKy man. .We make no
predictions but will "heartily support
the choice of the convention.
Parents who have children whom
they expect to send tc school for the
first time this school year, are earnestly requested to send them to school
now, and then if necessary, keep them
out during the cold winter months.
Owing to the crowded condition of the
beginners' room it will be almost impossible to do anything with those
who start to school for the first time
next spring, but if they get started,
now thev will be ready next spring to
go into the class formed ot those who
stayed out of school during the winter
months and thus save the formation
of an extra class.
Last week Mrs. James Louch and
daughter, Miss Louie, sent a box of
flowers to Miss Julia Harrison, who
was recently thrown from a carriage
and seriously injured while driving in
Paw Paw. Monday they received a
letter from Mrs. Jessie Cavanaugh,
sister of tbe injured, in which it was
stated that Miss Harrison is in a very
precarious condition, never having regained consciousness from the time
she was injured. Mrs. Cavanaugh expressed a hope of her recovery, however, in that she had several times
shown signs- of recovered consciousness. Her many friends here will be
glad to hear of her speedy recovery.
Mr. James Barns, who was sent out
to South Africa as a special correspondent of the New York Outlook,
has had a varied experience in his advance with the British troops. He
has been well to the front throughout,
except when illness drove him to the
hospital, and his letters, like his well
known novels and books on naval subjects, have the element of directness,
freshness and vivacious narrative.
He contributes to the September Magazine Number of the Outlook an
article illustrated chiefly by photographs taken bv himself, on the entrance of the British into Pretoria.

"A minister in one of the nearby
villages found his people too poor to
purchase hymn books, and being offered the same'book free by a patent
medicine house, providing they be
allowed to insert advertisemettts, or
dered three dozen for his congregation. He was elated upon receiving
them to find no advertisement. The
next Sunday he distributed the books,
telling his congregation of his good fort"
une and requested that they sing hym n -
119. His chagrin may be imagined
when they commenced upon 'Hark,
the heavenly angels sing, Johnson's
pills are just the thing. Tbe angelic
voices meek and mild—two for a man
and one for a child.' " —Ex.
Thieves entered the store of 3. Ii. ■
Welch last Saturday night, gaining entrance by removing a pane of glass from
one of the rear windows. They rifled
the money draw of two hundred pennies or more, took one whole caddy of
tobacco and a considerable amount of
tobacco from other caddies, besides
several boxes of cigars. Mr. Welch
does not know the entire amount but
thinks he lost about twent-five dollars
worth of goods. Petty thieving is being shut down on pretty hard when
these cases come to court and while
there is no trace of the thieves m thiB
case, If they continue they are sure to
be caught, when we trust they will
get the maximum sentence for crimes
ot this nature,
CASH FOR TOBACCO TAGS.
For a limited time I will pay one-
half (1-2) cent each for Tin Tags
from "Standard Navy" and "Spear
Head" plug tobacco.
