The recent election in Fox will go down in hstory as the "Phosphate Campaign". There was no electioneering for town offices, but every candidate, their freinds and enemies, went out among the farmers selling phosphate. Every fertilizer company in the United States and several of the South American Guano companies were represented. No electioneering was done at the polls either, although most of the successful candidates had a box of cigars or a bag of peanuts on hand.

We now understand why the ballot law provides that no meember of an election board can be eligible for any office but election officer. It makes a man crosser than a mad bull and crankier than an old windlass to sit and figure up another man's vote a dozen points above his own.

R. S. FANNING is on a business trip to Dushore. We don't see why "Sant" didn't stay and enjoy the fruits of victory.

How is that for just plain calf, with a pedigree dating from the Duchess de Sullivan, the first heifer raised in Fox township?

The QUAY and HASTINGS people of this place had a political contest for the delegates at the primary election Saturday. The battle, as far as Laporte was concerned, was decided in favor of Quay.

Great excitement was occasioned here Monday when the fire alarm sounded. Volumes of smoke from the Hillsgrove House chimneys settled about the roof and seemed to be coming through the shingles. The young proprietor sounded the alarm. Men rushed from their homes to the hydrants. The heavy carriages were frozen fast but in a short time hoses were on the spot. When no fire was found, the good people thinking there was a shortage of water began to bring pails. All worked with a will in the intense cold, but we have great sympathy for the three men who ran down the street with a ladder on their shoulders. We are justly proud of our facilities for fighting fires, so did not mind a parade.
