The nomination of Jim Fleming for the senate will do more toward restoring peace and harmony in democratic ranks than anything that can be done.

They know that he is in sympathy with and closely allied to their in- and they have faith in both his honesty and ability and nothing else will satisfy them.

In there were marriages and A furious gale struck the city of St. Paul, Saturday night. Twelve persons were killed, many injured property damaged to extent of a i ilium dollars. The of Ash- ville adopted a resolution that for one year they would stop using advertising schema stick to the newspapers as the best means publicity. is a pretty howdy do the papers are that the Czar's recently arrived son is not a boy all bat only another girl. The story goes that the Czarina's child was a girl, and that the Czar was anxious for the effect it would have have on the army to announce an heir to the throne had been born, that the new royal girl baby traded for the son of a peasant woman about the same time. But the story really seems There is some talk of an being to fix the blame for the killing of the two soldiers who lost their lives while riding on top of the car between LaGrange and Goldsboro. It does not look like any investigation is necessary, as it is very plain that the men them- selves were alone responsible for the loss of their lives. They were drink- and climbed up on the cars both in disobedience to military discipline and against the rules of the railroad Local Residence Obligations. The citizen, man or woman, who recognizes and carries out the local residence obligation, comes pretty near the golden role, and it is no small thing that a citizen can feel that this obligation has been faithfully lived up to. At every season of the year, this local residence obligation ought to be remembered and met as far as possible by every citizen, and now with the Fall and U inter approach- there is special need of heed on the part I every one. for there return those who have gone for months, there is the new bust new stocks of goods and the various trade and industrial call for and demand a Community of interests feeling, which is best met by each citizen Striving to maintain his or her local residence obligations. The retail merchant has his goods ready for the trade, He expects his fellow citizens to buy of him. Has this merchant met his local ob- ligations by patronizing his with his advertising The store, house and office owner, property, has be met his local obligation by patronizing bis home merchant, and so assisted in helping those who help Is each citizen looking first to his neighbor, to see what assistance can be given, in good words, by way of encouragement. In patronage, where trade is concerned. In moral in- when that can help. And are the various public interests re- the attention and support which every true citizen ought to give them It is the carrying out of the local residence obligations which build up communities, which gives local strength, stability and character to a town or city. It gives successful promotion and development, and assures growth company. If had been in their places as soldiers ought been, and permanency to business and in- the disaster would not have taken interests. It gives a healthy , . ,. , . social and religious tone to the com- lilacs, lost their fives by their . , , . ,, c, j and makes possible the own willful disobedience and care- nearer of what a true and no one else should be an ideal citizenship might be.
