Elisha has taken good care of the tax business as well. After deducting abatements of S24.G-S, leaving to be accounted for $1051.21, he has paid into the treasury $11 57.94, including costs, leaving only about $11 of taxes on his bills uncollected.

Elisha evidently does not understand the business. Perhaps no term in the English language is more expressive of the feelings of an educated and thorongly cultivated sentiment, than "home" pro tection. It is taught by press, pulpit and platform. How sacred the word "home!" Poets have painted its firesides, patriots have praised its altars. Who would not protect home with the most zealous care Who does not? Ah, is not the greatest enemy of the home welcomed in thousands of families, and defended even by their votes, the greatest, most etfectual weapon ever wielded man? The time is at hand when home protectionists must identify themselves against saloon protectionists, for both cannot prosper, for if governments choose longer to protect the latter, then homes must be sacrificed.

Who are home protectionists? Every one who not only-feels the duty of, aud realizes the right of protecting the home, but are determined to exercise it, whether man or woman. Who are opposed to it? All who are engaged in the traffic of intoxicating liquors those who maintain political power by sufferance, by-compromise those whose mouths are closed just before an election on this most important question at the present time. We ask ou to faithfully discharge your duty as "protectors" of our homes, in the near as well as all other elections. w. c.

Ot course there must ahvays be a considerable distance between the greatest merit and ab solute perfection but in the estimation of those who witnessed the play through all the performance, all tlie characters the most prominent parts yvere realized yvith such a degree of completeness that the exclamation "How could it be done better?" so often repeated, yvas heard without a single expression of dissent. Even those yvho had three times witness ed the play, anxiously inquired if it would not at some time be again repeated.

It yvas found when he yvas removed by his companions that he had been stunned and probably- could never have extricated himself without help. It is a genuine and universal regret that seizes the community at the departure of Misses Patch and Deuio, whose labors as teachers of our village scliool closed last Friday.

Elmer Hay ford of Johnson, yvas called before Justice of the Peace Allen, last Monday, on a charge of a similar ohetice committed at the same time; plead guilty and yvas lined.

A lesson may be treasured up by young as wen as old vvlio may stand in need thereof, from the sad experiences of the young man yvho yvas called to Johnson last Saturday to answer to the charge of obtaining liquor under false pretenses It's hard, to believe that those, law- a-biding citizens" so respectfully spok en of by a neighbor in the last issue of the Lyvs Citizen-, are in the minor ity, and let us gay that if those beioro mentioned citizens suspected that an obstacle in the way of speedy justice had interposed from that quarter yvhence came those solicitious remarks, they yvould consider it "the most uukindest cut of all." To clear away this mighty heap of offal accumulation of no short spr.ee of time, it must be admitted that it yvill be a Ilercu-lanean task, yet it is hoped fully and confidently that the time Is at hand when this augean stable yvill be scoured to the very bottom, that even now the current is turned and a tide of popular indignation has set in so strong as to make it almost certain that yvhat ollicial lethergy and laxity fails of accomplishing yvill be brought about by taxing the poyvers that he. to detract, however, one iota from credits due, as recent events will prove, the authorities have awakened from quiet slumbers and wear a grave determined look that can't be mistaken.
