We have always been fool enough to look for what was promised us, and if we failed to receive it handed in the one who made the promise you know what. Now that Bill Taft is elected, and the reins of the gov ernment given over to the repub licans again, we are looking for what was promised:better times. If a change don't take place for the better we will always think it should. There is ample room for reformation. The Norris Cotton Mills Co. bought about 1,400 'ales of cot ton up to (late.

But during the still hours of the night thefi camp was surpriseA1 by IndianE and every man,. woman and child massacred and scalped, not a soul escaping, their bodies be ing left to the wolves and birdC of prey. Afterwards the bones were collected and interred i'n a single grave at the scene ol slaughter. This bloody tragedy had been forgotten until th( Air-Line Railway was being graded, when the picks of th( hands disinterred the bones, th( track being -run directly across their grave. Some suitable mon ument should be erected on thih sacred spot, to commemorat( the deeds of those brave ani hardy pioneers, who carved oui magnificent section fibm a wil derness.
