In a great crisis such as the world is passing the affairs of state needs to be in the hands of men whose honesty and integrity is unquestioned. Just what the outcome of the Newberry case will be is yet to be seen. If money will place a man in high public office, then it can reasonably be supposed that the same filthy lucre will be efficacious in securing his acquittal when ar raigned before the courts; this is with a people who will accept money as tbe price of principal. To say the least, Newberry is un worthy to sit in the high councils of the Senate of the United States. Ordinarily, we do not pass sentence upon folks until tbe evidence is all in, but we are satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of Newberry. Influenza Situation Serious The reports from various sec tions of the county indicate that tbe epidemic of influenza is more serious at this time than it has been daring the year. The disease is widely prevalent in many sections and in serious form. Bracketts township suffered a very bad epi demic and news comes from Dy sarts villa that fha disease is in al most every home. Owing to the fact that doctors all live in town and have their bands fall at home makes it almost impossible for the rural sections to secure medical attention. One sectiop, it is reported, ex pects to ask the county board of health to send a physician to look after the sick until the epidemic is over. program week. will be published next is u u 0 "there is displayed a quaintriess and charm that make: them all the more desirable.

This official is elected jointly by tbe county board of commissioners and the county board of education. While much interest is being taken by the various applicants and their friends, nothing: is known as two who will be elected. Inas much as there will not be a meet ing of the board of education until the first Monday in April no action can be taken before this date. While the local boards are charged with the election of a wel fare officer, they must elect a per son properly certificated and ap proved by the state board of pub lic welfare.

Mr. j. j. iewis aiea alter a short illness on last Monday night. Mr. Lewis was taken ill with influ enza Saturday night, contracting pneumonia almost at once. His death comes as a shock to the people of this community. He was a man of unusual strength. Mr. Lewis was township super visor of roads for Marion township for several months and was making much headway toward tbe improve ment of the roads under his charge. He was a bard worker and a very efficient road man. Mr. Lewis was 39 years old and is survived by his wife and four children. The body was carried to Nebo. tbe old home of the de ceased,-for burial on Wednesday. The sympathy of the entire com munity goes out to the bereaved family and relatives of tbe deceas ed. American travelers in times past brought large numbers of Swiss watches into this couDtry as gifts for relatives and friends. The war induced them to do this, thinking not only that they had bought superior articles but also had saved money. These watches are worthless, as we can't get re pairs. We all know the American built watches. Grade for grade excels the foreign product, saying nothing of repairs. I have made contracts for 50 Elgin watches per month, all grades at reduced prices. Call and get prices before buying elsewhere. T. E. SWIPES Jeweler Marion W. C. New S n ret '9 S taints TTTni elfcc 9 Also a beautiful line of boys' New Godds Arriving Daily Come in and take a look.
