Irery Denaocrat In Robeeon oounty who tbiskt that It to for tb beet Interest of tbe party that there be a change la our ooenry officials was cordially prtted to at tend, and would have bees weloomed. Perbapa thia may aooonnt fof the fact that the editor of Tbe Kobeeonian did not receive an lnritatlon. no any of hU immediate friend. . and tbM may be the cause of that omhiidva ' 'secrecy, ' ' wo suggestive of reToletion n1 .ntmhdtld CAndanaiaaT A sreat many prominent Deuoorata bf the ooanty, whose presence wa desired could not be reaohed, and yet aome of them have einoe endorsed the action taken bT that convention. Perfect harmony prevailed In the convention that met here, and a . resolution among other waa passed lJo the effect that tbe nominee of the oounty convention would be supported at all hazards. Doe that eeem very 'nn-Democratio, ' ' or that tbe conven tion was composed of men of the Marian Batter ' type, or noh aa wonld sacrifice their party, the in terest of tbe oonnty and of the people to the graiflcation of their wn pei sonal revenge ?' The Democrat, representing eleven townships of the county, were men who have the best interests of the party at heart, and are deter mined to take care of its wel fare and future success. To that end there was a convention held here for the pnpose of formulating the most feasible plan to relieve the par ty of the chief cause of so much dis content and dissatisfaction: and to seonre that harmony which should prevail. .That was the sole object of tbe meeting that was held here on the 1 8th inst. , and none other. But the town of Maxtonand its oitizens are taken to task because the convention was held here. . The truth of tbe matter is that this convention was oalled at the instanoe of a promi nent Democrat of another township, and we presume that this place was selected for the convention on account of its oonrenient location. There were a great many more Democrats concerned in the result . of that con vention than the Democrats of Max- ton. Yet only the Democrats of this town were attacked. Bat this is the Dart of a narrow minded. , partisan spirit to play;, some day they may be able to take a tjroaaer Ttew or matter. As the disposition of ear citizens to take any part in a movement to defeat tbe nominees of tbe Dementia ooanty convention, if they be not satisfacto ry, let the people oons a It the offi cial vote of this township in tbe last election of November, 1903. To the oonnty convention in the last oampaign Maxtoa township sent a Holid delegation against tbe old offi oers, and, although they were nomi nated contrary to tbe wif' ee of tbe Democrats of this tovr on the day of the election tb' i- otadent t cket received less tb ; rotet in Mai ton towns br J!. of Ab1 so it. eoaitag coaveatien Matte township will d down s wild dtoatlao atet tb. aid omoer. a4 fartbar. tbe aoatlawMof the Dew- uoratie oMBDiy ooov.atiea will rmiv tbe loyal pport of this towaabip m it he la tbe p.

Blake. Ber sickness has been a long and linger ing one. Several times her death bad been despaired of, b it rallying be encouraged tbe hope that aha honld be well again. Death came to her relief at 6 o'olook p. m. Friday and released her gentle spirit for its flight to the better land. She was In the fall flower of womanhood, genial In disposition, kind and affection ate, rejoioing and happy in tbe posses sion of her four children, the mother of a harjny home. Her death oasts a shadow over that home, the husband and children are stricken by their loss and kind hearts go to them in the hour of their sore bereavement. Her labors, her sufferings are o'er and she has crossed life's fitful river to receive the reward which awaits the faithful. Her friends, and they were many, her neighbors and acquain tances will miss her from her accus tomed place, but feel that in tbe great beyond, where there is no woe, nor tears her spirit peaceful rests while the memory of her many excellent qualities remains to cheer and comfort husband and children and friends alike. The Fan and the Catfish. A few days since the watet fan operating on Dr J D. McMillan's soda fountain without notice ceased its revolutions and became still The cause of the breeze distributor's inac tivity attracted attention and an in vestigation folio we 3. The pressure from the city tank appeared normal, water flowed as nsnal from tbe opened faucets but no amount of effort would induce the fan to resume its functions. Plumber Dease was called in aa a last resort and when he bad dismounted the fan and opened it be found tbe jet through which the water flows to the motor wheel was obstructed by a small catfish which aa a live. , The fish being removed the fan resumed work. We are no piscat orial prevaricator, nor are we given to telling things fishy, so the above ia a simple fact. Rev. R. A.
