To friends and neighbors who as sisted us in any way and especially. to Mrs. Casteen for flowers. Mrs. H.

W. Walter Family. Don't Be Deceived. A report has reached us that Mr. A.

Hempel, the Republican candi date for Commissioner of the 3rd district, has intimated to voters of West Plains township, that he was favorable to The Meade County News, and would favor it with the public printing if elected. Now we don't want any voter in that district fooled by any such talk from either Mr. Hempel or any of his friends. We understand thoroughly that Mr. Hempel is the candidate of the Meade Globe and the Republican leaders induced him to make the e.

He is under no obligations to The News and we-expect no favors from him. On the other hand he is under obligations to Mr. Fuhr, and will, if elected, favor that paper, as he is duty bound to do. We make this announcement so that nobody need be fooled, regardless of anything Mr. Hempel or his friends may tell you to the contrary.

We have, as we informed Mr. Hempel, no. disposi tion to say anything that is untrue of him, and we don't propose to have anyone misled by any state ment from him that he would favor this paper. We have sense enough to know that when the Globe office is the headquarters of Mr. Hempel when he comes to town, that that is the place he will throw any favors he may have.

Ask Harry Hayden which paper he favors, and without mincing words he will inform you, The News, and will also tell you why. Mr. "Hempel also would have the people over there believe that the Republican leaders had nothing to do with his nomination. This also is a mistake and this talk is a guise to cover the real motiyes of said We want no false, mis leading reports started, and what is more, we won't stand for any of them, either. The Republican central committee met last Saturday at E.

D. Smith's office, at which time they were to take action on the sheriff question The whole matter was disposed of until after election, for fear of stir ring up trouble over in the commis sioner's district, where Burl Graham was a candidate for sheriff, and with a view of keeping him and his friends in line for Hempel, who was in the meeting and who in all probability secured this action for the benefit of his own candidacy The chairman, Mr. Painter, and the secretary, Mr. Fuhr, were in this meeting with Mr. Hempel and they all agreed to the postponment.

In the face of these facts we assert that it is absurd for him to tell us or any one in the 3rd district that he is under no obligations to these men. We do not see how any one can be deceived in the manner we have already indicated. Obituary. Fee's Drug Store Has A Complete Line of Drugs, Medicines, Toilet Articles Sec. INSURANCE.
