A RAILRoAD.-In accordance with the
suggestions of the TRIBUNE of last week
meeting of the prominent business men
OF the place was had ct the Court House
on tuesday evening, to consider what it
was best to do in regard to the Railroad

FIRST WARD ScHooL.-We paid a
hasty visit to this institution last Friday.
more out of curiosity than anything else.
We had heard good reports from there,
and we were not surprised to find the
good reputation which the sch COL has
had in the past fully sustained now. The
Principal is evidently determined to do
his whole duty, and as he is qualified in
every respect there is no doubt of his
success. He keeps good order and his
scholars seem to take a deep interest IN
their studies. We heard some excellent
compositions-some which would appear
well in print-and some declarations
which were not so good, but the boys will
improve in that respect. The teachers
in the lower departments of the school
report a large attendance and though We
did not visit them we believe they are
doing efficient service.

A ROUSING MEETING AT LIRERrY
OF Grant and Colcax
Club.


The hearts of the Republicans of the
town OF Liberty are full to oyerAowinr.
1t is one of the banner towns IF our
county, where the great principles of the
Republican party has many, many warm
supporters. AT the outbr eak of the
rebellion they rallied for the defense Of
the country almost to a man. They
know the South hopes to gain what it
lost by the war. They have a perfect
understanding of the issues involved at
election and will speak on the ides of
November in such language which will
not be very encouraging to Wade Hamp-
ion, Butcher Forrest, Valandingham,
Seymour, Blair and their friends and co.
workers in this county.
Notwithstanding the rain on Saturday
and the very disagreeable state of the
roads, very large audiance assembled
at the Liberty Store, to listen to speeches
'pon the political issues of the day, and
to organize a GRANT & CoLFAx
CLUB for the town Of Liberty. The
meeting was organized by the election of
Tolef Thompson as Chairman and Ole
Olsen as Secretary, after which stirring
speeches were made by Mr.. Chas Es-
linger and Henry Bctz.
The speakers explained the issue ofthe
campaign in forcible and convincing lar
euage, and were listened to with marked
attention throughout. All present must
have felt gratifed at the general interest
and enthusiasm manifested. Seldom
have the Republicans of Liberty, taken
a more lively interest in political cam
paign and the determination of those
present, augurs well for thorough can
vass from now until election.
Upon the conclusion of the speaking
GRANT & CoLFAx Club was organized
with nearly hundred members. This
considering the state of the weather and
the bad roads, shows that our friends
in. the town of Liberty are wide awake
and ready Tor the work.
The following are the officers of the
Club
P'esident-Samuel Sanderson.
I'ce Presidents = Ole Olsen, Charles
Betcher.
Recordtng .Sccreta,y-Tolef Tolefson.
Corresponding .Secrecary-Iver liver
son.
1rcosurcr-John Tolefson.
The Club will meet on Saturday next.
Now that the good work has been in
augurated let it extend to every town in
the county. A united and earnest canvass
from now until election will bring out
our full strength which has not occurred
for manv voors

FRUIT STEALING.-On Monday last
Mr.. Hubbard found little boy in his
garden stealing his pears. When caught
he had his pockets full. This is sad
case-the boys mother died when he
was small, ami he has been allowed to
run loose till it seems he has fallen into
bad ways. We presume this was his
first wrong step and we hope it will be
his last, for the path he was found in
leads straight to the penitentiary and
ultimate ruin ard misery.

Hardly anything is moro CON
temptiblc than the conccit which
rests merely upon social position
tliU cunccit of those who imagine
that they are thus divorced from
the clay OF common men of those
who shrink with horror from the
idea of work, rs something which
atgwtdes by its very contact, and
yet who, very likely, owe their
present position to some not very
remote ancestor, who, recognizing
his call to work, lived moro honest
ly in the world than they do, and was
ashamed not OF solled hands. 1t is
one Of the meanest things for pco.
pie to be ashamed Of the work from
which they draw their income, and
which glori6ed their" ancestors more
with their soilcd aprons and black
gowns, than themselves with their
fine ribbons and flashing jewelry.

Stony land is good for peaches
A fcw5 years ago, when the peach
tsces of1llinois and Michigan, and
Throughout the Northwest, were
nearly all killed by frost, it was
found that those trees which were
growing on stony ground, or had
accidentally been surrounded by
heaps of stones, did not suffer like
the the rest. In one instance a
tree which had been half buried
beneath a. heap of stones escaped
destruction, while the rest OF
the orchard was killed. Stones alb
sorb heat during the day and give
il OFT at night; they also keep out
cold winds which would be in.
furious to the roots, and prevent
that repeated freezing and thawing
at the roots which is SO injurious to
them.
