Forest City – Fred J. Osgood, the well-known North Eastern Telephone Co. manager, who everyone knows as “Fred” and is over 6 feet tall and broad in proportion, has been sick recently and “fallen away” so that he only weighs about 230 pounds now. But he’s gaining. His friends will be interested in knowing that he will be a candidate for county commissioner at the next primary.  He is a man who has been extensively connected with the business affairs of the county and has had a ripe business experience, besides having traveled over much of the county’s territory. He is well acquainted with its needs and its people. If nominated there appears to be no good reason why he should not be solidly supported by all Republicans—and by the voters of other parties as well.

Birchardville – Rev. William C. Tilden, of this place, was a caller in town the latter part of last week.  He is the oldest Baptist minister in this section of the State, and his work of spreading the Gospel through the country districts for a great many years has “borne fruit an hundred-fold.”

Jackson – School Notes: Parents, visit the school more than you do.  Go and see what your boy or girl is doing. Have a personal talk with the teacher. Your boy or girl will do more and do better if they see that you are more interested in their work.  Not only will the pupil do more, but the teacher will do more for that boy or girl. The school is yours and it is your duty to take more interest in the school. Make it your duty to visit the school at least once a month and see if your children are making advancement. If they are not, find out why. See if it is the fault of the teacher or the fault of the pupil.  If it is the fault of the teacher go to the teacher and have a talk. If the fault of the child, correct it.

E. Lloyd, of Forest City, was called and extracted several shot from the injured boy’s head and hands. The story told by young Wolfe is to the effect that Dennis dared him to shoot.

Barrett has represented this county in the legislature, for two terms, a few years ago. He was instrumental in securing the passing of the scale law, one of the best measures for the farmer and horticulturist, and one from which other states copied, passing similar laws. He made it possible for the department of agriculture to make necessary investigations and placed it on a reliable footing. The work of the department has been productive and of incalculable benefit to the state, all of which is due to Mr. Barrett’s foresight and for which he has received but little credit.
