"Kyery thing is all right." Thanks to the kind friends who are responding to our "S. O. S." call. "Go to the ant, thou sluggard"? But the ant has the happy faculty of not caring for the heat. c ???? When you undertake to run your competitor's business you will begin the neglect of your own. Get on the Democratic club roll before July 2B, if you do not you cannot vote i-n the August primary. It is a good rule to mind your own business. Wish we might have the pleasure of sharing our bucket of ice cold lemonade with the boys at Styx today. It would give us real joy to be able to do so. Do not blame any living soul but yourself if you find that you cannot vote in the Democratic primary election in August. If you do not get on the club roll you will not be allowed to vote. This is now the State law. You must go to your nearest voting precinct and there enroll, signing your full name. This you must do before July 25, or be not eligible to vote in the primary. "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe was shown at the Edisonia theatre here Tuesday evening, and it was one of the most remarkable pictures ever brought here. It was not only beautiful to look upon, but the moral lessons taught were most impressive. nhrrg" to see the picture was ten cents. ' It was worth very much more. Watermelons are getting ripe! This glad news is hailed by this scribe with delight.

They are fine for hogs, but make editor? and other human beings sick. For several years it was one of our determined policies to run the thick rind, coarse meated, worthless varieties of melons out of the county. That the work was well nigh completed is evidenced in the fact that one seldom roes the insipid and worthless varieties offered for sale. !t now appears that war with Mexico may he averted. It is an end to be desired fervently. We are not burning with anxiety to have this nation get into war with Mexico. If it must come, we say make a good job of it; but if it can be avoided, by all means let us work to that end. One cannot escape the feeling that to wage war upon the already hard-pressed people in that country of conflict is like striking a sick man. President Wilson's.plea for deliberate judgment is based upon common sense. It is no time for wild and foolish ravings, but for deliberate consideration. It is is well to send the large force to the border. It is well to prepare for any emergency. But it is wise to go slowly in this war business. Mrs. Hettie Green, the world's richest woman, died July 3rd, in New York. She was 80 years of age and a very remarkable woman. Inheriting a large fortune, she increased it to an enourmous figure. And it must be said, if reports are true, that her methods in business were above reproach. Her frugal manner of living, often ridiculed by her critics, was far wiser than the gluttonous habits of many rich people. One cannot but bnd much in her life to commend. She made no grandstand plays; was not noted for her public charities, nor did she show any particular interest in the public welfare. Yet, there is much ir> her life that may he commended, much that could he studied with benefit by the wasteful spirits of the present aire. Somewhere we have seen it stated that she never made a loan for a hiyher rate of interest than fi per cent, hut was shrewd enough to carry only "pilt edpred" securities. It may be she was content with fi per cent, or it may he she was held to a low rate of interest by a desire for the best security. Anyway, she was a remarkable figure and her life is one that mipbt be studied with profit by ile people of America. roster spent tne fourth in Jonesville.
