Our public school has organized itself into a mock congress in order to study the practical working of our national legislative body. Frank MdConnell wields the gavel and Will Thurman is Mark Hanna from Ohio. Each girl and boy represents a con- stituency from some part of the United States and has all the rights and privileges of a real congressman.

Attorney Hale, of Rich Hill, appeared for detendant and Dr Williams for plaintiff. The jury re- turned a verdict for plaintiff. It has been said if you want to win a case in Howard township, employ Dr Wil- liams as your attorney. He makes a specialty of law cases and under- stands just how to manipulate them to win. T. I.

There isa difference in the way some people discontinue their pat- ronage to a country Rewspaper. For instance, the first thing you _hear from one class of subscribers is the official notice from the postmaster, which reads as follows: SIR: Pursuant to instruction frem the post master general, I beg leave to inform you that your paper addressed to Theo. Deadbeat is not taken out. but remains dead in this office. You will plesse discontinue the same, Square Deat, P. M. Reason: Moved away. Do not know his pres- ent P. O. address. Upon examining your subscription books you find that Mr. Deadbeat owes from two to five years. How different and refreshing isa postal which reads as follows: Epitor Recowp: Very relactantly we re- quest the discontinuance of the copy of the Record sent us. We have been away from Bates county so many years that we are stran- gers to most of your peers: consequently are Rot interestedin your local matters as we were when we moved away.
