:::::SEPTEMBER "a, 1886.
We have admitted this week communi-
cation of ~One Of the People" on the subject
Of the Post Office. As matter of public in |
terest we did not feel at liberty to refuse its
insertion, and az the subject has been much
spoken Of, it is probably better that those inn
plicated should have the opportunity of Civ
ing public explanations. For that purpose
our columns are open.
LARGE ApPLEs.-A few days ago we were pre-
sented with some "Monstrous Pippins" from
the orchard Of Cornelius Ratlif near town,
six Of which weighed "a lbs and one mea-
sured I 81 inches in circumference.
The President of the United States left
Cincinnati on the 18th inst. on his way to
Washington City.
THE WEATHER AND RoADs-For ten DAYS
past we have had heavy and almost incessant
all our calculations for good roads. Travellers,
especially from the West, give distressing ac-
counts Of the difficulties encountered by the
thousands who are on their way to new homes,
with little prospect Of reaching them without
great exhaustion, and perhaps the loss Of
health as well as of much of their worldly
substance.
! BEET SucAR.-It is gratifying to see the
I'M I'D h~,r IS <k,s
neighborhood, in regard to the mode Of cult
waiting the Sugar Beet and the process o.
manufacturing the sugar. The numerous en-
quiries now making, will without doubt lead
to such experiments as will fully test the util
? ity and profits of the beet culture, to which
this country seems SO we'll adapted. 1t il
also, peculiarly appropriate in a community
many Of whose members are scrupulous a
bout using the productions Of slave labor, an,
!, > where all acknowledge the propriety of lini
e ting our dependence on other countries, to a
e few articles of common necessity as possible
We shall therefore, occasionally give in thi
h paper, such information as we may deer
j. useful in relation to this matter, as we'll as
the manner Of cultivating'the Mulberry an
the various processes connected with tn
,. manufacture Of silk.
re
oil COUNTY RoADs.-1t may be interesting
IN those who would like to see good commo
a. roads and cartways through the county ge
50 orally, to know the amount Of means prov
=, ded by the three per cent fund, for the
!. maintenance and construction. The enc
o. nous sales Of the public land for the pa
~ year, has greatly increased the dividend
o. the three per cent fund for the several cou
m ties of this State. The following advertis
bs ment Of the agent Of that fund will show I
unparalleled increase in the dividend for I
m last three months. 1t is highly importa
o. that all our resources of this kind should
LAT equally and beneficially applied.

ar Mr.. Finley-An honest inquiry after fac
p in relation to the conduct of the officers
nta this government should be encouraged by
rad good citizens. To do it fearlessly and in
ing pendently is right and privilege guar
