FRIEND ADvERTIsER:-Please publish
the following rulings for the benefit of
those intercsted:
A person who sells the products Of
his farm by travelling from house to
house and disposing of the same wher-
ever he finds a purchaser, is not under
the law a peddler. But in case he has
wheat or other grain raised by him
Toured at the mill before offering it for
sale, he is then liable as pcddler or
dealer, as the case may be. "-BoutweU,
p. 3lS, No. 102.
Farmers and others who frequently
furnish food and lodging to travellers for
pay should be taxed as hotel keepers.
Yet an occasional act should not be con-
strued as making them liable to such
taxi A. Rollins Instructions; D. 10,
No. Is.
The liability Of peddlers and COM
mercial brokers to special tax depend
upon the acts done, and is not effected
by the fact that the party is employ ed
by others, and is acting merely as an
agent. Ibid; p. II, No. 35.

TIE call for the Republican County
Convention appears in to-day's paper.
The Committee deemed 1t best to delay
the holding Of the Convention as long
as possible, and thus make the campaign
short, decisive and triumphant. The
Republicans of the several townships
should at once organize Clubs, appoint
local committees, and fully prepare for
action. After the county convention
speakers will visit the townships and
discuss the political issues of the day,
and it's hoped that these meetings will
be largely attended. Let the Republic
cans go to work, and prepare to meet
and expose the schemes of an unscru-
pulOus opposition.

zling rain of last Monday forenoon was
thankfully received by all, and all felt
grieved when the clouds broke away
and the rain "dricd up" Rain is much
needed in these parts to make the corn
''fill out" well, and if it does not come
soon the corn will not yield more than
half crop. We would therefore speak
for a liberal drizzle-drozling rain fabout
four days duration. Such a storm would
make all nature laugh with joy; but
if we cannot have such an one, then let
the lightning flash, the thunder roar,
and the rain descend in drops about the
size of o walnut-for we must have corn.

The Ottumwa Mercury tells the fol-
lowing:
A few dnys ago, in Keokuk county,
a babe six months old was crying Justify,
and the usual appliances seemed to have
no effect. Itstill cried and the mother
was perpleXed to know what the trouble
was. At last, after it seemed almost ex-
hausted it spoke with startling distinct
ness these words: "Girc me q drink of
,cdter" OF course the mother was
frightened, but she gave the water,
when it Immediately went to sleep.
The infant had never spoken before,
nor has it since. We can vouch for the
truth of the above as we are personally
acquainted with the child's parents.

SHoP-LIFTING.-Ther are one or two
persons in Upton who are in the habit
of picking up small articles that do not
belong to them, while in the stores, and
being possessed of treacherous memories,
Oft-times find these articles adhereing
to their fingers or concealed beneath
their departure. People Of this class have
been known to come to grief by not
striving to overcome their failings. It
would be advisable for all such to keep
out of the stores, lest detective Wilhelm
