Mr. Lee Vindicated.
In our issue of May 15th we made a
statement that Mr. G. W. Lee took it
upon himself to let a job of straightening out the road down by the cornor
of Ed. Whitney's farm, let it to his
own sou, too, for $40.00 and that we
were informed that two men stood
ready to do the work fo $25,00, and we
asked the question "Wbo knows but
this hoary haired economist got a saw
buck or two on the side for letting the
job?"
Mr. Lee informs us that tbe entire
statement is false and we don't believe
Mr. Lee would misrepresent, the matter to us, so we wish to withdraw the
statement and we accordingly say on
Mr. Lee's authority that we no longer
claim he ever let a job to bis son for
$40.00 or that two other men stood
ready te take it at $25.00 and we also
retract the above question which we
asked.

Sure of Re-Nomination.
Such an excellent record has Hod.
A. P. Darragh made in the lower
national house his renomination is a
foregone conclusion. So far aa we
have learned he has no opponent in
the district, nor should he have one.
A man so thoroughly trained and experienced in both private and public
business, who will spend every minute of his time in advancing the best
interests of his constituents, and a
man who has already had one term iu
Congress, cannot be spared, and we
predict that he will be elected by a
far larger vote next fall than he had
two years ago. He has exerted much
influence and power in hia first term
and much mure can be expected of him
when he returns for a second term.
Diseases Lurk in Every Flower.
Come lend an ear unto me now,
Ye youthful and ye gray,
What is that solemn sound we hear,
A soul has passed away;
Another spirit fled from earth,
His earthly journey now has closed,
His heavenly one begun.
Not long ago he bloomed in health,
He had no pain nor care,
.    But oh I he little thought that death
Was waiting with his snare.
An operation he passed through
Which they didn't think would prove
severe,
Until a message they received,
That death was hovering near.
Now parents dear to you Ispeak,
Grieve not, you have a hope,
Your son Is dead, no doubt you leel
it is a heavy stroke,
But God knows best.
He took him home
His heavenly home to share,
Bravely we'll fight our passage through,
And meet dear Andrew there.

Gentle reader have you noticed
what a marked contrast there is be--
tween the school grounds now, and
what they were three years ago? We
all feel that we have had a part in the
improvement, as all have been willing
to "keep off."
The boys have Helped plant at least
fifty trees. This year the school board
have cut out all the old poplars and
put  ln  fifty-nine maples and elms.
Now if we only bad a stone walk leading up to the building from the street
and a regular terrace' formed along
next the street, everything would be
