t has been paid.
$2,S6l, 90

s., i: vii, DO seen, out Of over $4,000
lsnei, interest has only been paid on
$2,S6l. Messrs. Garner aud Williams have
paid up the principal as well as the interest,
of the sums, loaned them. We opine but
very few OF the others will follow in the
footsteps of these gentlemen-but we shall
see. Have any efforts been made to collect
the interest due the County, on the afore-
sII loans from tho Swamp Land fund p
We presume not. Seven Of those loans
male by JAMES, were on one years time on
IT, Total amount loaned for one year.
$l,30O-of which, Mr.. 'Glrner has paid up
SNo, leaving outstanding principal
and interest, past due-$8j0,00. Total
amount loaned for two wears, $Gj0-of
which, S. ". Williams has paid up both
principal and interest, 500 leaving $50,
with two years interest now due and unpaid.
Bot, it is Of little use to show these things
up, Judging from the past. However it may
not be- amiss to call the attention of the
reader to the parties who are indebted to
the swamp Land Fund of this county. Look
at the list in.another column, reader, and
calculate the chances of the Coun.y's ever
being placed in the possession of the sums
thus loaned, to say nothing Of the interest
accumulated and accumulating. This ex-
hibit proves but too truly and surely that
tie magnificent Swamp Land Fund Of Pot
tawatamie County has been almost entire
y absorbed and frittered away by Demo
cratic officials. On this subject, more anon.
Good Farming.
We learn that tho Messrs. SUMNER's have
'Areshed out on their farm in Mills county,
near White Cloud, $500 bush. Of wheat,
aad are now getting out 5000 bush. of oats,
add expect to gather over 10, 900 bushels of
Germ. These gentlemen have recently built
aIarge granary, at an expense of $1,000
capable Of storing oil Of their crops of grain
such farming is very credisable to them,
sudto Western Iowa.
q Mr.. Richards, of Fremont county,
h'savsry thriving orchard Of peach and
apple trees in full bearing. A rambling
friend of ours, stopping at his place, few
days since. had the pleasure of gathering
some fine peaches, and satisfying himself,
hat our climate suits this admirable fruit.
son' three years since, Mr.. R. gathered so
bushels, and it isvsry rarely that he fails
nraisins enough for his FAM lily use. Mr..
K. thinks that wheat straw thrown around
md over peach trees, late in the fall, would
without doubt, provo complete protection
against any unusual frost; the trouble i,
nothing compared with the pleasure of grow.
