The Board of Supervisors Of Pierce Co.
appropriated $50 to the County Ag-
riculturaI Society.-,State Journal
A little mistake here. The N. w. Z.
Ag. Soc. comprising the counties of St.
Croix and Pierce, is in the last stages of
decline. st. Croix has organized So
ciety of her own, and the County Board
voted $3.50 for its use. The vote of this
county Board was not to pay $50 to the
JOURNAL office for printing already done.

That s32' would have paid our taxes,
and left margin for holiday expenses.
1t would have bought cords of dry wood,
or quite little pile of printing paper.
It would have enabled us to 90 to church
on days when contributions are taken up.
In fact, s32 judicious!y laid out, may
produce many satisfactory results.
But that $50 is gone, and we regret
that the Democrat did not see fit to notice
our case in its very able review. ~

The HOLIDAYS.


The holidays are over The gifts are
made;. the pleasures are over; the New
Year editorials written, and the New
Year sermons preached.
We believe most7people in this vicinity
enjoyed the holidays as well as ever.-
We rejoice that this isso. Work is be-
nificent thing. 1t works out great re-
suits. Il turns the wilds of nature into
productive fields; it builds the city and
the town;it rears the humble Gotta re and
the stately mansion; it lays the iron road
and sends the laundering train along the
track; it fashions tile majostic steamship
and starts it off miracle of wonder, on
its watcry way it plants the school house
b$ the roadside, and lifts the church spire
up towards heaven.
But Pay-pleasure, is a benfiaen
thing also. Man is mcde for enjoyment
as well as for work. The flowers bloom
by the waysde, and deck all the broad
fields, anl load the summer air with fra
granct, aud he who stops in his field of
Germ and leans on his hoe to enjoy their
odor and beauty, does very wise and
proRer thing.
We have no sympathy with those who
are alarmed when people enjoy themsel-
YES. and we have no faith in that system
of morals or religion which ignores the
necessity of rational amusements. We
say as says an exchange;-
''ThQ9k God thathuman life has its
holiday-its seasons cf recreation, when
the soul sends the body of to seek re-
freshment and rest, and the whole man
sees his destiny clearer and better FL so
doing. Thank God for festivals as truly
as for .tasts, for thanksgiyings as we'll as
for more consecrate communions, for the
ides of laughter as for those of labor, for
the jingle of the sleigh bell not less than
Tor the souoIous peal from the church
tower, which sends us to worship or to
private pagers. For the Most High and
Holy may be worshipped as truly in our
amusements as in the grayer occasions of
life, and our instincts well describe the
value which our higher natures set on
these amusements in the coinage of the
word re creation"

Nearly four years ago the Minnesota Weekly
Times carve before the public, and from that
period to the present it has been battling for
the cause of freedom and the rights of man,
regardless of the ties of party or the sneers and
ibes of partizan leaders. By pursuing con-
sistent and straightforward career, by persist
ent devotion to principles, it has won its way
to public favor, and notwithstanding it is the
youngest of the city press, it has attained a
very large and rapidly increasing circulation.
This has been accomplished, not by system
of self-laudation, but by the spontaneous pat
ronage of its friends throughout Minnesota and
the Eastern States.
The Times has ever advocated and will con-
tinue to advocate, the cause OF the people, and
in doing so it has advocated the cause OF the
great Republican party whose principles it has
warmly espoused and will defend to the best
of its ability 1t never has and never will pam
der to the vices of the vicious, and never finch
