Virginia will have to yield the so briquet, "Mother of Presidents," to Ohio. * * * * Johnson and Borah got what they deserved at the hands of the Repub licans. * * * * Both of the great political parties expect victory but neither will have an easy victory. * * * * They say men wear too many clothes in summer and we are inclin ed to believe it. * * * * The blackberry "bushes" are filled but the sugar gourd is empty-a calamitous situation, isn't it. * * * * Senator Harding is said to be a middle-of-the-road Republican, and1 doubtless he will find it a very rocky road. * * * ? Judging by the price recently paid for a manuscript in Paris, $69,000, not everybody is yet dead broke in France. * * * * The papers contain more accounts of mysterious murders these days than ever before. But finally "mur der willvout." * * * * . "Vice President Marshall Sees Democratic Victory," says a head line. Let us hope that Mr. Marshall has good eyesight. * * * . When you see a young lady wear ing a sweater these sweltering June days you can bet it is a bland new one and she thinks it is pretty. * * * * If Harding goes from "printer's devil" to the White House, it will cause some of us who have grown weary to renew hope and courage. m m m % While Republicans are exulting over a possible victory they should bear in mind that NOMINATION is one thing and ELECTION another. It is refreshing to see college grad uates of both sexes looking out for a job as soon as they get their diplo ma. This is a busy age and drones are not wanted. * * * ? Ohio is already saying that Hard ing will make the seventh president which that state has furnished. Sometimes disappointment follows counting chickens before they hatch. * * * * That which most fits Mr. Harding ''.for the presidency was his birth in \& log-cabin. As between the log cabin type and the silver-spoon type of men for public life, The Advertis er prefers the former. * * * * Even in a Republican convention ?nominations can not be bought. Had that been possible, the millions which .were back of General Wood might have made him the Republican stan dard-bearer, * ? * * !Mr. Harding's father and mother wanted to make a Baptist preacher out of him but he preferred politics, which was a decided falling from grace or back-sliding or something : af the kind.

Tribute to Mrs. Martin Whit lock In the death of Mrs. Martin Whit lock some weeks ago a good woman was taken from our community and called to her reward in Heaven. She was a great suffered for about six months prior to her death but she bore it all patiently. Being paralyzed she had to lie upon her back all the time and was a great sufferer but she was never heard to murmur or complain. She spoke several times to the writer about her readines to die. At one time she asked why she could not be taken so that others would not have to nurse and lift her. She was thinking more of others than her self. Her husband, an old crippled Confederate veteran, never tired or complained but constantly minister ed to her wishes and comforts. Her son and his wife, also friends and neighbors were very faithful. Mrs. Whitlock was a good woman ,a kind neighbor and a member of the Philip pi church, where the funeral and in terment took place. Her neighbors, and friends will miss the smiles which she always bore on her face. The community has sympathized deeply j with this stricken home. A FRIEND.
