Ben SMITH and Stanley HENDRICKS are very fond of hickory nuts and have been thinking how
they would enjoy
themselves this winter eating some of them. Ben has had a tree spotted south of town for
a long while.
It was not a very large tree and was loaded with nuts. Ben kept an eye on it watching to
see if they were
ready to gather. One day last week he concluded they were ripe. He climbed up the tree
and shook each
and every limb til not a nut remained on the tree and the ground was just covered. He got
down and began
to gather them up but happened to think he did not have anything to carry them in. He got
on his bicycle
and came to town and told Stanley about them. He said he had shook them off and Stanley
should go gather
them. So Stanley takes a sack and goes a merry clip on his wheel thinking what a bait he
and Ben would
have. Think of his consternation when he reached the tree to find that two women were
there just picking
up the last nut. Each claims the joke is on the other. Now they are casting about to see
where they can
buy a few.

ANNOUNCEMENTS of CANDIDATES to RUN For OFFICE
John A. FLANINGAIN, a candidate for treasure, of Sugar Creek township, resides on his farm
three and one
half miles west of Thornetown. Mr. FLANINGAIN=s ancestors as far back as he has any
knowledge were firm
believers in Democracy, and he has always stopped to help his party. He is past middle
age, a very
successful farmer, and his business experience helps equip him as a candidate. Mr.
FLANINGAIN has never
sought office until two years ago, when he was defeated by Mr.BRENDEL. The encouragement
he received from
the Democrats of his township induced him to again make the race for the nomination. Mr.
FLANINGAIN will
be a worthy representative of his party should he be nominated and elected, but will be at
the polls ready
to cast his vote for the successful candidate should the decision of March 15 be
otherwise.
The announcement of Willet Harvey PARR, of Center township, for the nomination of
prosecuting attorney, is
made this week. Mr. PARR was born and raised in Centerville township and is the son of
Jesse A. PARR. He
was educated in the township schools, the state of normal and Marion normal. After
teaching four years in
Clinton and a year in Marion township he read law in A.J. SHELBY=s office and was admitted
to the bar in
April 1900. Mr. PARR began making speeches for Democracy in April 1896, four years before
he was a voter,
and has been getting in effective work for the party ever since. He is a clean
straight-forward young
man, who will give his best energies to the office should he be nominated and elected.
Mr. PARR is a
married man, having married a daughter of R.D. BILLINGSLY, whose home is about one mile
north of Advance,
and bears a irreproachable reputation.
Louis H. BALLARD is a candidate for the democratic nomination for sheriff. He is the son
of the late
Joseph BALLARD, and was born and raised in Jackson Twp., where he still resides. Two
years ago he made a
preliminary canvas for the nomination but pulled out of the race in preference to another
candidate. Mr.
BALLARD is a successful, Democratic farmer, and Odd Fellow and a member of the Christian
Church.
