For the office of oounty judge the
democratic party has placed A. D.
Banney who has been practicing law

friends where ever he goes. For a
number of years he taught school in
this county with considerable success
and later he settled on his farm in Elm
Creek township. Mr. Arnold Is by

iar with all the proceedures, the laws
and all the details, Resides this train
ing she has excellent olerkical train
ing, is a proficient shorthand reporter
and is exceptionally well equipped for
the duties of the office. Some people
have thought that the question of sex
would operate against Miss MoKeighan
In her campaign for this office but the
real question is she capable? Can she
perform the duties required ? Of this
there Is no doubt. No one questions
for a minute her ability. As for as
precedent is concerned we find that a
lady Is clerk of the United States cir
cuit court in Kansas City, Missouri, a
lady Is clerk of the district court in
lloulder, Colorado, Miss Lulli Ervin
holds a similar position in $eneca,
Kansas, another lady holds the same
office in Julesburg, Colorado, another

might be named. Instead of being
handicap the lawyers and patrons o,f
the office are exceedingly well pleased
because of the politeness, courtesy
and efficiency of these ladies. Vote
for Edith McKcighan for cterk of the
district court.

pWljIlc In Hastings Taft day Mr. Over-
man was being towed around town by
Carson Ilildreth, Watt Chitwood and

to break away from this distinguished
company. When this quartette drift

a late hour they looked like they had

Mr. Overman was evidently stringing

Grandma Wittwer was buried Sun

where she was born, July I8t 1838 and
was married to Benedict C. Wittwer

and children emegratiug to America,
settling in eastern Kansas and event
ially, in 1873, became one of the pio
neers of tliis section Settling just
across the line in Kansas. Her hus
band died in 1882, leaving her with
several small children, her elder
children had attained their majorities
and all of her children as they left
the home settled in its immediato
vicinity, so her lot has been unusally
fortunate Of seven children three
boys, Fied, John and George have
farms of their own, near tho original
homostead and Frank the youngest
purchased the home farm. 'I he girls
married energetic and prosperous
farmers in the neighborhood. The
Wlttwers have always been highly es
teemed in this part of the country and
the old lady has been regarded with
respect nud affection by a large
number of people. In all, eleven
children were born to her, of whom
three died in childhood and oiih
Samuel, died in 1801. The living
children are Fred, John, George and
Frank, and Mrs. Rose Forgy, Mrs.
Elizabeth McCrillls and Mrs. Emma
Rothrock. There are thirteen grand
children. Mrs. Wittwer was a member
of the Reformed Luthern church
which she joiued in childhood and of
which she remained a consistent and
exemplary member. The funeral ser
vices were conducted by Rev Hummel
from the home of Ed McCrillls and
attended by all neighbors who were
glad to bear witness to the worth of
the mother who has gone, and show
thler sympathy for her sons and
daughters who live in our midst.
