Teacher Tuurman for Commissioner.
Prof. John P. Thurman, one of
the principals in the Rich Hill
schools and one of the most success
ful teachers in the state, is a caudi
date for the school commissionership
of Bates county. We believe he is the
only one. Mr. Thurman was born
in Saliue county, this state about 2S
years ago, and has lived in this town
ship ever eince 12 years of age. He
is a graduate of the public schools
and of the state university, holding
a first grade certificate. Prof. Thur
man was appointed to fill out the
uuexpired term of Prof. Deer wester
when that gentleman resigned. He
has dons his work well, giving uuivcr
sal satisfaction. He is a gentleman of
uniform courtesy, even temper,strict
integrity and morality, impartial and
fearless and no better material cau
be found in the county for the posi
tion he seeks. Prof. John P. Thur
man is not related to W. P. ThurmHn
who made a canyass for this position
a few vears since. R. H. Review.
This is Meant tor You-
It has been truly said that half
the world does not know how the
other half lives. Coiuparitively few
of us have perfect health, owing to
the impure condition of our blood
But we rub along from day to day,
with scarcely a thought,uuless forced
to our attention, of the thousands
all about us who are suffering from
scrofula, salt rheum and other se
rious blood disorders, and whose
agonies cau only be imagined. The
marked success of Hoods Sai sapanl
la for these troubles, as shown in
our advertising columns frequently,
certainly seems to justify urging
the use of this excellent medicine by
all those who know their blood to
be disordered. Every claim in be
half of Hood's Sarsaparilla is fa!v
backed up by what the medicine has
done and is still doing, and when its
proprietors urge its merits and its
use upon all who suffer from impure
blood in great or small degree they
certainly mean to include you.

C. C. Welch, formerly of New
Home township, this county, now of
Suuimerville, Oregon, writes us:
"I like your paper and although
I am not a democrat am a Missouri
an and like to hear from that part
of the world. You have regular
correspondents from several locali
ties but none from New Home, mj
old stamping ground; would be glad
if 60iiw one would write from that
part. We are having a nice winter
here so far. There has been no
feeding done yet, and cattle is look
ing well. They are having the cold
est weather below this winter they
have had for years, snow beiug
eighteen inches deep iu Portland,
something very uncommon for thai
place.
Oregou markets are generally
good, but old Pike is far ahead of
her this winter. I see by your paper
that wheat is 60cts per bushel; here
it is forty five cents. Also bogs are
far below your market only being
worth four cents. Cattle and horse
are very low, twelve hundred pound
horses are selling at from seventy to
eighty dollars."
Nevada Democrat
Ii. T. Wall, a wealthy resident of
this county surprised the Democrat
lately by ordering his paper stopped,
which was his privilege, for the rea
son that an article was published by
the Democrat of a fight he had with
another prominent .citizen, in wbicti
the aforesaid Mr. Wall bit a slug
off the other fellow's check. Now,
Mr. Wall, we desire to impart thie
information to you in a friendly
spirit; your stopping the paper d
n't top the paper. Oh no, simply
this and nothing more; your name
has been dropped from the subscrip
tion li6t, but bless your soul maD,
'the paper is running, and we fail to
dif-covtr any yawning chasm ic our
circulation by your stopping the pa
per. A feailess, outspoken newest "
per must publish the news, ard if w
slugging match takes place of such,
importance as that the participants,
be they purse proud millionaires ox
humble hod canierp, get hurt, the
news ought to be published. A
man of your t ecse ought to take
that view cf it Come in Mr. WalL
you will find this paper has not
stopped but running at jt Nancy
