The more they maul each other

The famine is reported to be
on the increase in India. The
British had better turn their
attention to territory already
in their possession, and relieve
the wants of their starving
millions.—Clifton Record.
A town with its streets and
alleys used for sewer pipes
need not expect to have an
enviable reputation as a health

The man or men who oppose
the construction of the Nicara-

On the front page of the
Sovereign Visitor, for February,
appears a photograph cut of
the Lexington, Neb., cornet
band, Woodmen of the World.
Seventeen members are shown
in the picture. ' This reminds
us that at one time recently
the members of Albany Camp
talked of organizing a band.
Such a move would be a great
enterprise, and one that would
be highly appreciated by the
whole community. There are
at present over sixty members
in the Albany camp, and a
small donation from each would
start the scheme, and once
started would soon become a
realized fact. What say you
brethren?
Wonderful changes occur
these days. The West is sell-
ing Yankee notions in New
England, and within a few
years the South will supply the
same obsolescent section with
manufactured cotton and wool.

In several counties, notably
in Hamilton and Williamson,
certain candidates for legislat-
ive honors have had petitions
circulated, requesting them to
make the race, and then, after
they have secured the signatur-
es of a few personal friends,
with much gusto and feigned
modesty announce that "with
great reluctance they bow to
the will of the people and sac-
rifice their own business for
the public good." Fiddlesticks!
The people are on to that old
dodge, and ought to squelch
any candidate that resorts to
it.—Comanche Chief.
