The Women Disfranchised
The women voters were dis-
franchised in the sechool election
Tuesday, because no ballot had
been provided for their use. The
ballot for school officers should
have been printed separately in
order that they might have cast
a ballot for the officials for which
the law gives them the right to
vote. Had any of the ladies per-
sisted hi a desire to vote the elec-
tion officers would have been "up
Sk stump" but they were very nice
about it. Had a man presented
himself at the polls and had been
refused his right of suffrage, the
scene would have* been different,
and yet we have men who .will
iell you that women shoyld not
be allowed near the polling places
and we agree with them that it
would neither be safe nor pleas-'
ant to be around such men any
where.
The-Dixie Opening.
The Dixie opening last Thurs-
day night was a perfect succes.0,
but that was surmised before it
came off, as that firm never fail
on what they undertake to do.
The goods on display were of
such a character as to satisfy our
particular shoppers that better
goods can be bought at home for „
less money than the mail order , u Evans must have

goods were equal to any made.
Want Roads.
A delegation of over sixty cars
came in from the west Monday
I forenoon with banners attached,
to their cars asking for good I
roads, and in the afternoon the I
entire delegation held a meeting
with the commissioners, and from1
where we sat it looked as if they |
were making it pretty warm for;
the commissioner from the west \
side of the county.
From what we heard the roads I
in that district are in very poorf
shape and must not have had •
any work"done upon them sincei
tiie country was settled a num j
ber of years ago. Mr. Kean, a
business man from Canute, said I
he had lived out in that country I
for seventeen years, that they j
had paid taxes and voted the!
democratic ticket all that lime'
and had not received verv much
in return. He stated that they
did not cross any bridges because
they had none to cross, and that
when roads became so bad that a'
mail wagon or a Ford couldn't
pass over them they were get-
ting pretty bad.
Whether a threat to seceede
from the party was to be under-
stood by his remarks or not, it is
safe to say that a proposition of
that kind would bring good roads
more speedily than anything else
that could be done, and we dare
say that some action will betaken
at once to prevent such a terrible
calamity from becoming a reality.
Chairman Evans must have
The Iceman.
j Did you ever give the iceman
and his work any particular thot
other than those times when you
"ripped him up the back" for do-
ing something you did not like, j
or for not doing something you
dad not want him to do. His bus-
iness is a peculiar one, and one of!
grave responsibilities, and one)
of whom much is expected, and!
to whom nothing is given exceptl
grudgingly.

far more pleasant and ten times
less expensive. His visits are I
more frequent yet each visit is I
followed.by"a refreshing coolness[
which make the intervals from
one visit of the doctor to another
much longer.
Did you ever stop to figure upj
how much the iceman by his vis-
its reduced the high cost of iiv-i
ing? If you, believe that your ice
bill ought to"go int.) your month-|
ly expense account iry getting i
along one month without ice, and
if you do not consider the cash

been badly diverted.

device that will make you feel
small in comparison in doing
things and doing them well, you
ought to see that machine for
transmitting telegrams over the
wire, now on exhibition at. the T.

office. Its mission is to finger the
sending instrument in any tele-
graph office and it does it so well
that the most expert sender is
compelled to doff his Stetson in
acknowledgement. It makes an
expert sender out of every ex-
pert operator on a typewriter and
so far none h?s been found who
can chuck the words into the ma-
chine faster than it can put them
on the wire, but, my, O, my! the
