The wisssi, the greatest, the best Of man
To wish the Fsir are mushly Inclined
Il is alwsys place Of such beauty aud
grace,
Tha, ali are delighted the chance to en-
brace.
Come one, come all, aud let US enjoy
A season " pleasure that has no alloy,
No party, no passion, no pride aud no
fashion,
but Of ,snss and Of soul let US hold this
ovation,
The county Of palls,, the pride Of the
Stale,
So nIes In proportions, In all things SC
great;
For cotton and wheat her soil is complete,
Her waters dow gently and gracefully meet
Her forests grow kindly down under the
bin
To shade the bright waters that dance
down the rill,
That stands In the pool, so limpid aud cool
Where the nymphs aud the naiads their
yOtarles school,
Her prairiss are lovely Is mortal has seen,
Her hillsldes are covered with beautiful
green;
In the spring time her flowers make sweet
many bowers
Long the wood where the cedar majestic
ally towers.
:,
but tue fhirI on, 'he fair-t us tho CROWN
ing OF all,
the fall,
The bright autumn days, when wo court
the suns rays,
When the merula musica sings her soft
lays.
See the wealth Of the earth from Its life
of TOLL
by the sweat OF the brow we have guided
the pillow,
And We quaf tho libation that's poured
for us now.

And they turn out, il seems, 10 be good
work and true;
They are all noble artists, not one Of them
Charti.is,
And thcir work must decide which proves

The ladies are talented, skillful and chastc;
Their list is complete and in elegant taste;
They fill up the measure Of duty and
pleasure,
And no land can boast Of nobler treasure.
Our people can toll, and they like reore-
So they wisely have planned this grand
cmulation;
They bring the best breeds of cattle and
steeds,
And the premium is given to him that best
feeds.
Tis the pride of the county, and all must
declare
That nothing for interest will with it com
pare,
And yet but few all the labor must do,
And the burthen falls heaviest on just one
or two.
That portion must rule is never amss;
"To rule is to serve'-to exert our best
- nerve, 30
And never from dnty or business TO swerve.

Captain Conner, appointed by
the Military Commander, clerk of
Grayson county, and the dcmcratic
nominee for Congress from that
District, has been removed from bis
civil position aud ordered to Green
willie. This places the Captain more
nearly in the centre Of his District,
and is decidedly convenient TO the
canvass.
Captain Conner in hisnaiivc State,
Indiana, took an active part in the
last Presidential camraign against
Grant and the Reconstruction Acts
passed by Congress, and in favor Of
Seymour and Blair. His spccchcs,
az reported by the papers, are
woven Of the same web still.

In the case of John Cohrt, of Crys-
tai township, portion, at least, of the
old nursery ryhmc is appropriate, for
"The rats and the mice,
They made such strife"
that he was forced to abandon his
prairie rail pen granary, and build him
agranary that could keep out the ':pes-
key varmints.n Those noble animals
are bad enough,in all conscience around
and in good substantial granaries, but
they become intolcrable nuisances in and
around rail pen granaries, besides eat
ing and wasting more grain in year
or two than would pay for a granary
wherein they could not revel in such
unrestrained abandon. Mr.. G. is show
ing his good business sense in thus in
terposing a bar to the indulgence of
rats and mice's appeti,es at his ex-
pense.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.-Wm. III. Sti-
yers is candidate for the office Of Sen
ator from this District, subject to the
decision OF the Republican Convention.
We do not know what may be the
probabilities of his success but we do
know that he possesses elements OF
strength which it will stand his COM
petitors good service to understand
and properly estimate. If Mr. Stivers
has fixed his ambition on the position
of Senator his opponents before the
Convention will have to scratch gray
cl" with great activity if they distance
him. Mr.. S. hardly knows such a
word as fail, and he has many warm
friends who will give to HIM an earn
est, enthusiastic and determined sup
port.

County OrFIcEs.-The County Of
fees to be filed at the coming election
are Auditor, Treasurer, Sheriff, SUI
perintendent of Public Schools, Sur
veyor, Coroner, and Representative.
The district composed of lama and
Poweshiek counties will also elect
Senator.
Neither of the Conventions for the
nomination of men for filing those Of
fees have been called, nor do we
know that the committees having
the matter in charge have determined
upon the time for holding them.
Our best information, including the
latest reports from the seat of war, is
to the effect that the candidates for
most, il not all, the offices before the
Republican Convention will be plenty,
thus atiording an excellent opportuni-
ty to the people TO make the selec-
ton with regard to superior qualifica-
tons.
We presume candidates and their
friends will make known to the peo-
pie their several special claims, and
virtues, as we'll as the special faults
and trailties Of their competitors.
The people. however, III Conven.
ton will have to pass upon each can
dldate and approve or reject, as they
in their wisdom shall see fit to do.
We hope the canvas will be conduct
ed in the true spirit of generous rival
ly, each man remembering, that even
in office, he IS but an agent of the peo-
pie in executing their sovereign will.
We earnestly hope that the people will
look at the several candidates with the
view OF selecting on &C couRt of special
qualifications. The people cannot al
ford to select officers without qualifi-
cations for the duties they are called
upon to perform. Nor can they af-
ford, if they consult their own best
material interests, to select other than
those of known integrity, and Of the
highest quality of ability.

CRoPs IN TAMA.-A correspondent
informs us that he has travelled through
Perry, Clark, and Crystal townships,
lately, and he is satisfied that there
will not be over two-thrds of a crop
Of wheat, and that will lack some
what IN quality. Mr.. Jas. Camery, of
Buckingham, who has just given rs a
CALL corroborates this, saying that the
wheat up his way is damaged ma
terially"
From other parts of the county we
hear that the wet weather has pre-
vented wheat filing out properly, and
that generally, unless the wheat stands
on very good location, the ground is
too wet to allow the reapers to enter
upon it. In Northern lama the heavy
wheat, and the oats, are badly lodged
Corn, however, looks well, consider
ing the weather and winds.
