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.

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.
