In our next issue we wilt"publish
an article by Frank Howard on the
republican campaign aggregation now
touring che country, and answering a
few of the many misrepresentations
made by their orators.
All Bryan clubs are sequested to re
port tho names of their president and
secretary to Chas. E. Chrisman, Des
Moines, la., also all those who are de
siring to organize a Bryan club are re
quested to correspond with him at
once.
The republican caucus last Friday
night was considerably on the circus
order, and the delegates are so mixed
up that the prospective candidates are
unable as yet to determine their
strength in the delegation. The Qnal
act occurs today.
Wm. Cottrell returned Friday even
ing from Yankton, S. D. after a three
week's trip building towers for Dr.
Carver's diving combination. He will
probably leave in a few weeks for a
trip in the same capacity through In
diana and south to Mexico,
If vou want to get posted on the

year. Address the Arm at Creso.o.

The Prohibition county convention
Saturday adjourned without making
atiy nomination for county officers.
Mr. C. R. Graves was elected chairman
and M. O. Perry secretary. The coun
ty committee consists of C. R. Graves
chairman and A. J. Cook and C. J.
Ilarlan. The convention adjourned
to re-convene at the call of the chair
man.
From now on till election, believing
the great interest of the people is
centered on tho money question, we
will devote nearly all our inside pages
to discussions .of that issue. We are
also moved to that plan' by the not
able lack of silver literature and
speakers in this county. It is very
much as an exchange says, that a per
son wanting a papor now without poli
tics must depend either on fly paper
or sand paper.
Remember the concert given by the
M. E. choir, Wednesday evening,
Sept. 80th. Tho church is going to
put in new hymnals. Every one
knows how nice it is to have a book to
sing out of. Besides helping to pay
for tho books you will have tho pleas
ure of listening to one of the finest
concerts ever given in the church. Let
every one turn out and help tho good
cause along. The male quartet is tte
same ono that sang at the Charles
