The subject of this sketch was born in Nelson County, Kentueky, of good old Democratic stock and has kept the faith throughout his life. He came to Missouriin 1878, He has been a farmer and sto¢k raiser all his life, barring six years in which he en- gaged in the mercantile business in Adrian. He was a member of the town council fortwo years and served on the board of education, at which time he assisted materially in secur- ing for Adrian her fine public school building. He is now serving his sec- term as Judge of the county court for which he was nominated in the Democratic primaries two years ago, without-opposition, Under his ad- ministration the magnificent court house is being erected, which will be « pride and pleasure to every loyal citizen of the county, During his ad- ministration much substantial im- provements were made in county roadsand bridges. Judge Wimsatt’s has been a busy and successful life. His public record is open as a book and without a blemish. He is well qualified, possesses a positive charac- ter, weighs well the evidence before him at all times before forming his conclusions, then when he is sure he is right, no earthly power canswerve him from the path of duty. As Sam Jones once said of Cleveland; “He possesses a back bone like a mill post.” df Judge Wimsatt is nomi- nated for Probate Judge he will be elected by an overwhelming majority and will safeguard the interests of the widows and orphans of this county; : : ROBT. L, BRADEN Has been a citizen of Bates county since before the war and no man stands higher asa man, a neighbor or a democrat. He has spent most of his life on his farmin western Bates and raised a very interesting family of boys and gils, to whom he is giving every advantage in training and education. He has been a success- ful farmer and having so eondueted his own business the people need have no hesitaney in trusting bim with theirs. There have been few campaigns in the past 15 or 20 years that Bob Braden has not been ae- tively to the front in party councils, neglecting his own business for dem- ocratic success. He is an honor- able, upright gentleman, courte- ous to all, clever and accommodat- ing and toa friend as true as steel and always possesses the courage of his convictions. He would make a model county clerk, being thor- oughly qualified to perform all the duties of the office, is industrious and painstaking. There certainly would be no mistake made for the party and the people if Bob Braden was nominated. ‘ Charles Broadway Rouss, the blind millionaire merchant, who for years had a standing offer to give $1,000,- 000 to anyone who would restore his sight, died Tuesday morning in New York of pneumonia after 48 hours of illness. He was 66 years old. At the outbreak of the civil war his en- tirefortune amassed from a small be- ginning when he was a poor boy, was devoted to the confederate cause. He served throughout the struggle jand was with Lee at Appomattox, After the war he went back to New | York and again ainassed a fortune, j He will be buried in his $10,000 mausoleum at Winchester, Va., his country home. t - influential ~ | Judge. A. G. WILSON, One of Bates county's wealthy and| of New Home township, is a, candidate for the farmers Presiding Judge Mr. Wilson ¢ nomination of the county court G. G.

He came to Bates county at the close of the war and settled on his present farm, one of the largest, finest and best im- proved in the county. He is an hon- jorable, broad-minded — gentleman, | | possessed of good judgment, with the interest of the taxpayers at heart, {He is capable and would make the Jeounty a nrost excellent: Presiding Mr. Wilson, aside from being ha good democrat, is a very clever, tourteous peatlemanwith whoaitis always great pleasure to do busi- jness, The ticket would be strength ened by his nomination and the in- terests of the county subserved by fonght ir and Pearidge his election. J. T. GAILEY, | ‘a very populurand influential citizen, announces his candidacy for County Clerk. Mr, Gailey has—been—a—resi- dent of Bates county for anumber of years and has wade strong friends in nearly every section by his kind and courteous treatment of all with whom he comes in coutact. He was born in Shelby county, Kentucky, in 1855, of good old democratic stock and he has ever been loyal in his al- legiance to that party. He has filled the offices of township assessor and clerk, he was postmaster for four years under Mr, Cleveland's first ad- ministration, and has held a number of positions of honor and trust in all of which he demeaned himself to the entire satisfaction of his constitu- ents, and credit to himself, He is well quailfied to perform the duties of the office to which he aspires, is a very clever, accommodating gentle- man with whom it is always a pleas: ure to transact business, he would make a strong candidate and be elected. If he should failto get the nomination he would give his sue- cessful opponent earnest, active sup- port. —$ C. C. DUKE, another one of the old landmarks in the democratic party and in the up- building and progress of the county, is before the people asking the demo- cratic nomination for County Clerk. He has been a citizen almost from the beginning of the county, is a member of one of the oldest and most influential families, has had large experience in-—-county affairs, is thoroughly conversant with the duties of the office and would make a model officer. Mr. Duke is a very courteous, clever gentleman, with whom it is a pleasure to do business. In theearly days he served the county us treasurer, and no one ever left the ottice with a better record. He has since been connected with a number of prominent institutions of the county, all of which positions he has filled ably and creditably. He is sober, industrious and painstaking, would make a very popular candi- date and a good officer. HON. THOS. L. HARPER announces as a candidate for Repre- sentative to succeed himself. Mr. Harper denieaned himself in office faithfully, honorably and efficiently. He made a strong member, was al- ways at his post of duty, was indus- trious in watching the interests of his constituents and the people of the state. Always a party man he con® sistently and conscientiously tried to advance democratic interests, while not neglecting those of the whole people. Mr. Harper has been a prom- inent figure in our county for many years, served the people in a number of township offices and made a very efficient county clerk. He has been a farmer of this county for a long term of years, is a very clever, cour- teous, accommodating gentleman, is very popular with the masses and would make a strong head for the ticket. First thing you know the Kansas City Journal will be charging that Webster Davis started the Boer war in order to get an execuse to leave the republican party and write a book.—Osceola Democrat. Le The evidence is indisputable that the allied third party hatched in St. Louis, is a Wing of the republican party and is being fostered by Kerens. for the excellent condition and great development of our county to-day. Mr. Henry taught school for about ten years and between terms. He was regarded as one of the county's best and most success- ful teachers. has been a very raiser. farmed Since he successful farmer and stock He has held nearly all the township offices, was clerk and asses- sor for a number of years, and in ev- ery position gave the very best of satisfaction. He is thoroughly com- petent by education and experience to perform the duties of the office to which he aspires. He has been an active and influential democrat all his life, always responding promptly, cheeriall yd tiberally to-his party's demands. Four years ago he made bound politically to appreciate a! | good thing gratuitously thrust upon ‘him, as it were. This consists of the fact that the condition of the state treasury is most gratifying. The state’s income is ample to meet all liabilities and fully pay off the bond- ed indebtedness in 1903. gratulation: Missouri’s tax rate is the lowest of any state’s in the union, while her public institutions of all kinds are up to the highest standard, and will compare favora- bly with those of most states many times older than Missouri.—Ex.

It seems strange that the simplest way in the world of reaching the north pole has been entirely over- looked by modern as well as ancient explorers, What would be simpler than to announce that old Boreas would hold a special ribbon sale at the pole, “8 cents, marked down from 10,” and let the women do the rest? —Osceola Democrat, Good Health Is doubtless the highest human good, Jt is especially so to women, to whom it means the preservation of beauty, hap- piness in the home, and the enjoyment of social duties, There can be no good health for an : woman who suf- fers from woman- ly diseases. Her complexion fails, Her flesh loses its firmness, Her eyes are dull, She has no home hap- piness, no social enjoyment.

You outlined a course of treat- ment for me. I followed your directions, and now feel like a different person. I never expected to hear from you when I wrote to you. In three ane after I ‘commenced taking your medicines I began to feel better, I took twenty dollars’ worth of the ‘Favorite Prescription’ and ‘Golden Medical Discovery,’ I bought it five dollars’ worth at a time, and also four vials of Dr, Pierce’s Pellets, I would not take one thousand dollars for the good the medicine has done me.I-can't praise it enough.

Their bank deposit book affords them a complete record of their cash receipts, while the stubs of a check book are a complete rec- ord of expenses and payments. Paying a laborer, a store ac- count or any other bill with a bank check is much safer than with money because the per- son receiving the check must endorse it, and the check be- ing returned to the maker by the bank, can be preserved. as a receipt. Money deposited in a bank is not so easily and so often “fooled away” as when carried around in one’s pocket. Farmers, try the experiment of keeping a bank account for one year and see if it does not pay you. A large number of the best farmers have accounts with us. No charge for check books. .
