WAR AS A REMEDY

We have several times taken occasion
since the rejection ofthe Johnson.Clarendon
treaty. to commend the spirit in which our
Republican contemporary, the Chicago Post,
has discussed the question Of probable war
with England Several articles on thissub'
iect have been transferred TO our columns IN
which the clustering and threatening attl'
tude in which some politicians have endeav'
ored to place the government toward Eng
land was severely though Justly criticised,
and mild, digufed aud christian course
recommended to our government, that the
calamity Of war might be avcrted. The
highly commendable article recently pub
lished by the Post under the above caption
has called forth the following expression of
thanks and approval from reader of that
paper in which we cordially concur:
To tho Editor Of The Evening Post
SIR: Having no desire for notority, call
ed at your office several times to express
personally my sincere thanks for your late
able Christian article entitled, WAR as a
remedy" etc. failing to meet you take
the liberty Of sending this communication,
trusting il will not prove lat least any an.
noyace, or be regarded as al insiucere otter
| ing, for, sir, truly feel that such teachings
will do more to educate, ciyilize and save us
! from that most degrading and distressing
| of oil conditions, than all the wars that ever
have or may be brought about by false and
| wicked teachers.
Nv attention has been, for many years les
pecrallyl. called 10 the general, inconsistent
teachings Of the Pulpit and Press upon that
the most important Of all subjects. AND
now, sir, after expressing my best wlshe,
for your truly merited success, allow me, lioI
| the sake Of defence TO consistent Christi
anitv). ask any Of those who assume to teach
by authority, or otherwise, how they logic
ally harmonic civilization, Christianity and
war Mr. Editor, please let Us have more OIL
those truly Christian sentiments, let US have
more wise teachers and no war; let US al
encourage true principles, Ignoring the
preiudices Of the day; then We will have
peace, prosperity and progression on sat'
and sure foundation. Continue to teach this
and for you your subscriber will ever pray
Respectfully, H. NJ. l.

THE GROWTH OF OUR CouNTY.-B
comparing the Census lately published
i'm this paper, with the official Census
Tables for 1867, we find the following
figures showing the gain in our Coun-
~ in the specified particulars in the
last two years:
Gain i'm dwelling houses $50, in pop
ulation $3.50, i'm number entitled to
vote SIS, in militia 1852, in number of
foreigners not naturalized l0S, i'm val
ne of manufactures Sl33, 79l 90, in num-
Der of bushels Of coal raised 70,052, in
value of agricultural machinery and
implements $9t, Asa 90, in rods of hedg-
ing 49, 4l0, in number of acres of land
enclosed 1854, in acres of Spring
wheat 10, 223, i'm bushels of Spring
wheat raised 27,437, in acres of oats
SOS; in gallons of sorghum l2,7l4, in
tons of tame hay 4,7s9, i'm bushels of
Irish potatoes 63,56l, i'm number OF
bearing fruit trees 5000, in number of
fruit trees not bearing 1902, in pounds
of grapes raised SO, All, in hives of bees
l44; in hogs4l0, In cattle 4, 254, in milch
cows |, 40, in pounds of butter 81, 1923,
in pounds of cheese 1869, in number
of sheep 1908, in number of horses
205l, in mules and asses 10; In as
sesscd value of lands and town lots
| 5,607 90. ....
This gives, in a condensed form, an
Exhibit well worth the attention of
our citizens. 1t shows the actual gain,
by figures, in the last two years. May
1t not well be sent to friends In older
States, as showing something of what
Marion County is really doing and
becoming? Spread these figures out as
some papers do, and they might look a
little bigger but we are content to LEI
them stand as they are, telling Their
own plain story of solid growth and
prosperity.

The Baptist Sunday School of Knox
vile has just received number of fine
Illustrated Wall Texts, from st.
Louis. Adorned with evergreens,
they will look very nice.
A new sofa, and new mating and
carpet, for the NJ. E. Church of Knox
vile, arrived on Monday. The plat
form is to be carpeted and the aisles
matted.
The last Homestead contains an ar
ticie by Capt. Mathews, of Knoxville,
giving some experience with the
Christine and other grapes.
Some papers are complaining heavi-
ly about flies, gnats, mosquitoes and
the other usual pests of Summer. To
the best of our remembrance we never
saw season so free from them as the
present one here.
Dr. Duncan tells us that Mr.. Harding
is now recovering finely from the in
juries received by falling through that
bridge some time ago.
Messrs. Keefer d Boyd are getting
on the rest of the Machinery for their
new FIGURING Mill, Knoxville.
A drove of some 40 or 80 Indian PO-
MES, from the Cherokee Nation, on
the way northeast, fer sale, reached
town Tuesday, and were offered at
twenty to eighty dollars head. Sew
eral were bought here.
Mat. McClelland, of Knoxville, who
has been at Council Bluffs for some
time, returned here Saturday for a
short visit. He is running a Grocery
out there, we believe, and doing well.
DR.. Wilder, of Knoxville, met a
misadventure at Teter Greek one night
last week.-Mrs. team SHE'D at some
thing, and spilled him out into the
mud and water, and then sloshed
around considerably before help could
be obtained and all got safely out and
on dry land again.
Black berries in town somewhat, all
the way from Is to so cents gallon.
VIII be cheaper when the price comes
down.
ID. &. Ely tells us that this week and
next will about wind up the blackb er-
ry season between the Cedar creeks.
The berries are good and abundant;
but on account of the rains they ripen
all at once
