says:
HAY j. SIS per ton in this place and none to be
had at that. Straw, we are informed. is seven
or eight dollars per ton and but little to be had
Fodder and corn are scarce and what little there
Is, is of very poor quality, about worthless. A
large number oil our farmers will be unable TO fat
their hogs, more than just enough for their own
meat, and some not that. Starvation stares all
hogdom in the face, far Jay county is con-
cerneI. Many a hopeful ''porker" will bite the
dust" before next acorn time.
-THE BouNTg QUESTION The Madison
Courier is in favor of the Commissioners of JEFF
ferson county Offering 5000 bounty to volunteers,
upon the ground that the counties which offer
the greatest inducements to volunteering will be
the most successful in raising their quotas:
The necessity of bounty 10 insure the quota
OF jefferson county by volunteering is apparent.
Marion county at present offers 800 bounty.
Other counties offer more or less. Unless we do
likewise, our citizens who contemplate volunteer
ing will 90 elsewhere. That we must compete if
we would succeed. is certain. AS to the amount
Of bounty, il varies in different counties in the
State We must consult our own interests. We
have a work to perfor m-the filling of our quota
We can afford 10 give 800 bounty Ii is not
too much to give to volunteers Patriotism and
interest alike urge US 10 take energetic action TO
fill our quota Let us offer 5000, aud We shall
have 10 difficulty. 1t We gain thirty volunteers
from other counties so much the better. Let us
bv all means have the S20U bounty.

Sentinel:
Hon ALFRED p. EDGERToN FOR GovERxoR
The Covington Peoples Friend has hoisted the
name of our talented and popular fellow citizen
A p Edgerton. for Governor We do not know
We much fear he could not be induced To accept
the domination. II he would accept, We know
no man we would more readily support. nor none
who possess more OF higher qualifications for the
post His Democracy is unquestiOnahe his
business capacity is of the highest order. anu a
long course OF service in public positions has
given him thorough knowledge of public affairs
As states man he has few if any superiors in the
State. and IN short. he is precisely the kind of a
man we require for our Executive in tins dark
and dangerous crisis. His frmness. decision oil
character and untring energy point him out as
the man for the emergency. We know he does
not seek nor desire office, and our orlv fear is
that he could not be induced to accept the nOmi-
nation
The Peoples Friend says:
Hon j. Z. Mcdonald having declined to ac-
cept the nomination for Governor, if rendered
bin by the Democratic Convention, we therefore
withdraw his name and hoist THAI of Hon. A p
Edgerton, of Allen county. Mr.. Edgerlon is an
accomplished scholar, high toned gentleman
and good legislator and if so fortunate as to be
the recipient of the nomination, will make a good
race, and if elected will prove al honor to the
/. State and party he represents.
