WILLIAMS TO TAKE THE STUMP.
Mississippi Congressman Will Visit

tional Democratic campaign.

posal of the campaign committee,

Warm School Meeting.
From Olustee Outlook:
The patrons of the Olustee School
district met at the school house Tues-
day evening for the purpose of elect
lng a trustee to succeed T. I. Trus
cott whose term had expired, and to
transact other school business.
Quite a crowd gathered and much
interest was manifested throughout
the meeting. E. G. Walcott was se-
lected as the new trustee, and a levy
of ten mills was voted for teachers
salary for the coming session.
The question of making a levy of
f mills for the school house bonds
was brought up and resulted in con-
siderable discussion pro and con, an«>
the proposition was finally voted
oow n by a vote of 22 for tc '12 against
the levy. It is unfortunate for the
district for this muddle to be up and
we hope the patrons anl taxpayers
will act calmly in the matter and
that in the ciid a satisfact ry agree-
ment to al! can be reached.
The 10 mills levy will prove an am-
ple amount for an " eight months
school with good salaries for the
teacher.
The school board is composed of
A. D. Smith, W. J. Williams and E.
O. Walcott.
The trustees met last night and
elected Miss Kittle Fullerton, Mrs.
C. B. McCaleb and Mrs. Stella Carter
as primary teachers. A principal is
yet to be chosen.
Harmony Humming*.
Mr. Miller has gone to visit hl$
old home in Kerr county, Texas.
Miss Roberts of Hess is visiting
the Misses Jones this wek.
A literary society was organized
here last Saturday night with Mr.
McCurdq as president and Miss
Maud Bellows secretary. We hope
much interest will be taken in it.
If so, it will be a great benefit to
the community.
Crops are looking much nicer since

Good-bye Dear Heart.
I.
Good-bye Dear Heart! I go my own
sad way,
And you go yours, and life Is agony
And yet I must not weakly beg you
stay,
In spite of all your absence means
to me.
II.
Though distance part, though sky
and sea divide,
To you I must not reach detaining
hands;
The years are many and the world
is wide,
And Love's fair roses bloom in
many lands.
8TILL A BRYAN MAN.
III.
With all the joys and all the wishes
fond
My soul sends after you, we can't
regret;
The raptures wait us In the sweet
Beyond.
And we shall teach our memories
to forget.
IV.
We meet no more! The hand-clasp
and embrace.
The hot, mad kiss, the crush of
lips to lips.
The melt of eye and tender flush of
face,— 4
These all for us have passed to last
eclipse.
V.
good-bye, Dear! Good-bye for
evermore!
Adown the years our halting feet
shall press.
Our lone hearts wonder, till the quest
is o'er,
And love shall lead us back to
happiness!
So,
Caught on the Fly.
The bass-drum is all right at the
head of the procession, but the still-
hunt cuts the most ice in politics.
The up-to-date dude, a-sport, with
patent-leathers and a Panama hat,
puts on lots of style, but he began
life as a baldheaded and bare-foot
boy along with the common herd.
Whenever you see an old maid who
giddily shies off from the croup when
the little folks grow wheezy, you can
put It down as a sure sign that shs
is trying to conceal her age.

When the Bills Come Due.
There are many things that bother
In this mixed up world of ours,
And the paths we wander over
Are not always filled with flowers-
While some days are brigh ; and sunny
There are others lilac'-c and blue,—
\nd the day that brings the trouble
When the bills come due!
When the bill? co ti3 due
After all the debts accrue,
O. it's all another storv,
When the bills come due!
We blow in without a falter
For most everything in sight,
From the dawn of Monday morning
Till the dark of Sunday night;
And we dinner on the dainties.
Robe In garbs of gorgeous hue,
But It's all another story
When the bils come due.
O, we chase the rounds of travel,
On a cruise from shore to shore.
And no difference what we purchase
Still we always buy the more;
It's a barter every minute.
Till possessions large accrue,
But the clouds come down with dark-
ness
When the bills come due!
When the bills come due.
After all the debts accrue,
O, it's all another story,
When the bills come due!

Toss a Kiss to Care.
Toss a kins to Care, and say,
"Yon are only for a day;
You with all your woes and tears
Never linger through the years.

Happy in your ecstacy;
Bid your grief begone, and smile
With the pleasures for awhile!

Senator Stone Declares Nebraskar
"Greatest Democrat in America."
Jefferson City, July 13.—Senator
William J. Stone gave out the follow-
ing staement concerning the nomi<
nation of Parker and the famous
Parker telegram:
"My first Impression was that the
whole thing was prearranged. It had
a sinister appearance and I felt tha\
the convention had been buncoed. I
was sick abed when this telegran'
came, and was unable to be in th<
convention. If I could have been a',
the convention at that ime, I would
have given voice to the strong feeling
I had on the subject, for I felt angrv
and resentful. Since the conventio-
adjourned, however, I have been ad
vised if things that satisfy me that
Judge Parker acted In good faith and
in a manly way. That his views were
withheld or suppressed contrary tr
his instructions is. I think, beyond
doubt, and when he found out that
his instruclons were being disre
garded, and that he was about to be
placed in a false position, he sent r.
peremptory telegram to Governor
Sheehan demanding that his views
be made known to the conventio
That was a splmidld and manly act
Whether one may agree with Judge
Parker on all things or not, all must
concede that he is made of the stuff
that commands universal respec
and confidence. He was unwillin
to become the beneficiary of an evas
ion, a concealment or a subterfuge
Parker came out of the #onventior.
a bigger man than when he went in
to it, not alone because he was nomi-
nated, bu still more because he re-
vealed to the country thathe pos
sesses those qualities which fit him
for capable leadership.
"Among those who took part in
the proceedings of the convention
Mr. Bryan was easily and by far thf
most commanding figure. He wg:
fiercely assailed by men who but yes
terday would have crowned him king
but he towered amongst them as a
giant among pigmies. Compared tf
most of them he shone as a stai'
in comparison with the phosphores-
cent gleam of lightning bugs.
"He la still he greates democra
in America and the ido of the peo
pie. One blast upon his bugle hor
Is worth a million men, and the ser
vice he will render the ticket will be
worth more than that of allof his de>
tractors combined. I talked witl«
Mr. Bryan yesterday. He will stan-
by the flag.
"I know Judge Parker. He is
high type of man. If elected, he will
make a great presiden. I shall have
many good words to say for him
but, hank God, I shall not be found
among those who think that to praise
Parker they must abuse Bryan I'

Th« Biggest Locomotive.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad appears to maintain a
monopoly of the biggest locomo-
tive's. says Victor Smith in the
-v York Press. As soon as any
r company approaches the
; t Fe in size or capacity the
t'.v.ison management orders
nettling bigger and stronger.
Xhe latest type, the decapod, is a
favorite of President Ripley for
heavy freighting. Including its
loaded tender, this locomotive
weighs 450,000 pounds, and can
haul on a level track a traia of
loaded cars more than one mile
long, equal to a weight of over
6,000 tons. "What is .1 decapod?'
an engineer of the Erie road was
asked by a protesting commuter.
"President Underwood needs one
for his fast express." "A decapod
"is a lobster." Whether he was
aware of it or not, the answer was
absolutely descriptive. The nan e
was derived from those crusta-
ceans which have ten feet and are
deliberate of motion. The lobster
has ten feet and moves slowly.
The decapod locomotive has ten
driving wheels and is slow.
