As we have previouty stated, the practice of .presenting Jthe#e photo /sards by pandttaW fa voters, * grow peasant one. Thefe jcar<^ are usually taken ftome by the voter to his family, Jpftepe they are as a rule pre* terved, and in nudifefcous iu lUnoes are effective in Ateuring votes that would be otherwise lost to the candidate. The nse tof them is in perfect good taste, fes in very rare instances ate they gottejft oat by the donor Simply to .spread abroad the counterfeit of his pretty face. They serve the douDte purpose of keeping the 'candidate daily before thfc eyes of tkose whom he wishett to reach, attl of mak ing it Apparent that he wants the Job he aspires to, or bf would not go to bo muflh trouble, and expense in seeking for It. Our feeling of respect for that class of candidate is much lugh" er than for one of thtse parsi monious fellows who would skija flea for its hide atid tallow, and who go around telling peo ple that he is running for offifee merely because his friends want ed him to.

Their support would doubtless be ap preciated more if they would say less about it* "tfhe office of President of the United States is the greatest gift in the possession of the peo ple of the United States." said Senator Gullom in a fet inter view at Chicago. One bl the purposes of having vticatioHs of the Congress is to give Senator Cullota tim<i to go out and think up gr??bt, living truths like that. Judge Paricer takes a plunge in cofd water every morning, and then spends the rest of the day in political hot water. President Roosevelt announces that he is not going to interfere in the beef strike. We might feel that way about it too, if we could go out and kill a bear for breakfast.

Eafiy in the morning Jbe far away1 rumble of many wheels could be heard fend soon you j could see buggies loaded with old and young, and large trunks. boxed and baskets filled with the best qatables the country affored comlig down the avenue to Join in one large family and spend tbe most delightful day of the year, not of the whole life in innocent gossip aud humorous jokes; with the exchange of bright ideas on &he different call ings of life. The relatives and friends of Mrs. >Iyers were delighted to find Her able to Join them in the Sleashres of the day, weighted own with the burden of years, bad health and family cares as she is. It will be remembered that sfrce the death of Mr. C. U. Myers' wife that she has been the oniy housekeeper that he has had, tnd it is almost beyond comprehension how she has ta ken charge of the household af fairs 'with only the as&stance of men folks, and kept things in good order as in years gone by. The young ladies of today could be taught a lesson of life in re ality through her example. After the usual greetings of friends and relatives who per haps had not met since the pre vious reunioh and some time spfcnt in talking, Captain B. M. Poarce's voice was heard above this merry chatter of itfcuiy voic*s and much laughter, ordering .All who had dinner to bring it to the table, and immediately every one took on a different 'look for they had not realized it was time for dinner?and such a dianer. To appreciate it was to see and partake of it, for it would tempt the appetite of a dyspeptic and was good ehougli for a King. Everything tdot country or towii could have or wish for, could be found on the 50 or 60 foot table, after the ladies were thrdugh laying it out. After tile inner man was re freshed to full satisfaction, enough was left fdr liaif as many more. The young folks dispersed to the buggies and various nooks t j revel in euch others smiles, and to make and break promises as all young folks have done since time has been. Several candidates were pres ent,- but none of tliena seemed anxious to get votes or make speebhes, as they were too busy enjoying themgelvsA ' in other way It faay bo interesting to some to kilbw th& number of Mrs. My-1 ers' descndants aud to read a sketch of the family, although we are not able to gi ve it as cor rectly as it should be. Henrietta Tamar McCoy was born July 21st/ 1^22, and was married to Washington Myers in 1843. Their home was blessed with 11 children, 4 boys and 4 girls which reached adult life, and three infants died. Her husband died in 1861, leaviug her with no one to manage the farm as the oldest boy was but 10 years old, but through a kind providence she reared them all to manhood and womanhood, and sent them out to homes of their own fully conscious of the duties of life and of the value of a kind and true, yet firm mother. From those 8 children the num ber has increased to almost a hun dred. There are now living 50 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren, with 11 grand children and 2 great grandchil dren dead, which mdkes a total of 80. Two of her sons, B. J and J. W. Myers, died a fc*w yeard ago. The remaining six, four girls and tto'o boys are yet snared to meet with us and were ail present this year. Mrs. Myers deserves high est praise and lasting honor for so successfully filling the high est place that only a true woman ctm fill. May she live td enjoy many more sYich reunions and may others also learn' from her life that after all life is worth liviVig. This is the earnest wish of all. A Grandchild. Octliuno flems.
