The COUNTY PooR.-We learn from Mr.
D. w. Carson, the steward of the county
farm, that the number Of poor now at the
farm is sc, all of whom are either crippled
disabled, decrepid, or in such poor health as
to be Of no use in carrying on the farm, or
of much service in taking care ofthemselyes.
Among them are some very bad cases,
some insane, some sick, &c, &c. Mr.. Car
son has recently confined one of them in
Jail. His name is Henry Elder, and it is
said that he was formerly in the Ohio pene
Territory. He has been at our county farm
for about two years, and is represented as
very bad man, he having threatened the
lives of Mr.. Bailey, Mr.. Carson, and also
several ofthe poor. One night some one
shot at Mr.. Carson and it is believed that
this fellow, Elder, is the guilty party. For
tunately no one was hurt. Elder is now
confined in jail, but what disposition will ul-
timately be made of him we cannot say
He is q dangerous character.

GOES FOR MOLINE AND AGAINST Rock Is
LAND.-lt is very easy to see why the Moline
Union favors the location of the Peoria
road through Moline. 1t is in order to
prevent all the lumber dealers in Rock Ia
land from sending lumber to Henry county,
By giving the Moline dealers such an advant.
age as to secure to them monopoly of the
business. The lumber trade to Henry is
very large and must be greatly increased by
extending the present road through that
county. Build it via. Moline and Rock Is
land is effectually cut off from the business.
Extend the present road and Rock Island
dealers can compete with the world. The
same argument will apply to other manufac.
turing and business interests. A vote for
the subscription via Moline il vote against
your own town and its interests, and for
Moline and its interests. 1t is vote to cut
Oft business from Rock Island and give it to
Moline. 1t is vote to discourage manu-
featuring here and encourage it in Moline
1t Is very easy 70 see why the Moline Union
goes for Moline and against Rock Island.

MAu.s DELAyED.-Friday and Saturday
no mails arrived here from the lower end OF
the county. Of course the roads were bad,
in some places, bnt it is hardly probable
that a man could not-get through with q
horse and buggy with the mail--or on horse
back. The disappointment is very great
one, especially to the people of the lower
end of the county, who should have had
their Rock Island papers on Saturday. If
this thing occurs again we shall feel it our
duty to report it to the Post Office Depart
ment, even if postmasters do promise the
contractor not to report him.

In the meantime, we see no reason why the
Western Union should not move in the mat

and build the road from this city to the
junction without delay, so it will be ready
whsn they get possession Of the other part.
