Not long ago a man boasted that
now aince he waa out of bueineaa he
could knock if be wantod to. it
doean't make a particle of difference
whether one ia actively engaged in
business or not whether a knock counts.
The idea to be borne in mind is "is
the knock sincere and justified." If
it ia for peraonal reaaona the man
might aa well get w.se to the fact that
he will get about aa far with it aa a
child would in carting a wagon loaded
with a ton of brick up a hill. No one
got very far with a personal
tee and no one ever will. Wht n

pr ijciation.
I desire to exnress to the voters ot
his county my deep appreciation for
the flattering; endorsement giyen me
,n the recent Democratic primaries. I
irn also hopeful that my friends in this
county are not confined to the Demo-
cratic party, as I trust that in the dis-
cbarge of my dnties as judge of thie
district I haye convinced the people
that partisanship shall not enter the
court room so long as I preside over
the courts of this district.
I trust that my work on the bench
during the past year has been accept-
able to the people, and that I may have
h<? confidence and support of the people
.f all parties in the election thia fall
as an endorsement oimy earnest efforts
o discharge the duties of the important
oiHce which I hold with absolute fair-
ness and impartiality to all.
I presume that aa usual in political
campaigns, there may be some efforts
made to circulate any kind of stories
that the oppoaition might think would
arouse prejudice ngainat me, but I
•iave enough confidence in the integrity
and good sense of the people of thie
district to believe that such efforts
will be of no avail, if made.
If elected to the full term this fall I
shall give the people of this district the
very beat service possible for me to
render them in the discharge of my
official duties. Very Respectfully,
W. C. Crow.
Democratic nominee for re-election
for Judge 19th District.
When a merchant hollows his l^aaJ
off about hard times and growls nbdut
patrons sending to mail order houses
for supplies and comes in to Me the
editor rnd have him to give the people
a roast he thinks it is all right. But
just suppooe that we would howl every
time a merchant sends his job work
out of town. Do you think it any more
than right that he should patronize s
home concern?
Some men are never satisfied with
what comes to them but are continually
howling and growling about their hard
luck. If they would wake up and in-
vite the people to their placas of busi-
ness by well written and neat ada in
the home paper they would have no
prowl coming, but instead of that they
;ive the editor s lengthy speel about
hard times and that they have to cat
down expenses somewhere and thev
commence on the printer. They do nut
stop and consider that the local editor
<s the best friend that they could have.
Mow we are not an object of char';' ;,
neither are w e continually running
round sifter a man to get bis business.
A newspaper is a business just the
same aa any other commercial house
n thia town and unless it receives tbe
patronage of the citizens it cannot ex-
ist.
How a man can pot you on the back
and grab your hand and shake it as
though you were his dearest friend on
earth and when your back is turned
cast unkind and glaring remarks about
you, is beyond our comprehension to
see hew a man will double cross another
for the paltry sum of a few dollars "or
cents. We haVe always dsalt h<>i t-
ly with men whom wc have had busi-
ness dealings, but when we find that a
man is deliberately putting his i.and in
our pocket and taking the sheckls that
we have labored Iona: and faithfully
for we are going to 'eli out with him
at once. We think that a little free
ufclicity thrown t o the public will
rvwaken some of the sleepy headed,
who pretend to be business men They
will no doubt rub their eyes and set
up and wonder where thev are going
to be hit next. Now if the shoe fits
you wear it.
T o Move School Building.
The election held for the purpose of
ascertaining whether the school bouse
would stay on its present site—one-
half mile north of Gray or be moved
onU> the the towtsite was held Tues-
day. The moving plan was accepted
by a vote of thirty-seven to nc thing.
The money was raised by the cituens
of Gray for the moving of same and it
is now up to the successful bidder to
move it
Thia will be a great benefit to our
thriving little city by it addition. It
is hoped next that we will be able to
build an additional room onto the pres-
ent one which will give us a building
tbatCwill accommodate all the pupils of
this district.
