Having got his license he went back

GROWTH OF OUR COuNTY.-Prof.
Mckee, formerly Principal Of the
Knoxville Public School, now holding
the same position in Osceola, was
here last week on business. In the
course of conversation he expressed
establishment at the rate of progress
our County is making in material
improvements. New land Is being
fenced and broken, houses built, &C.,
to such an extent that one who passes
through the County only once in six
months will have to inquire the way
every time" said the Professor, and
with hardly an exaggeration. This Is
indeed gratifying; for it is solid and
permanent growth, and not the result
of any speculation or excitement. 1t
is notable, too, that this improvement
is mainly in the country rather than
i'm the towns. After while, when
Railroad prospects assume more i'm
mcdiately practical shape, the towns
will take q new start.

THE BIG WIND.-On the night OF
the 18th inst. asudden and brief storm
Of wind ffom the South rushed through
this County, and prostrated q great
amount of fencing, In different Town
ships. Mr.. III. s. Bruce's house, in
Union Tp., frame building about IA
by 30 feet in size, was lifted about q
foot off from its foundation on one
side, and fell back pretty badly
skewed. A deserted house near
Burch's Mill had its roof blown of.
Half Of the roof fell In, and the rest
was blown off about so yards. Here
in town but trifiing damage was done.
We have lived in Iowa IA years lex
cept during the war;; and We do not
recollect ever having seen any damage
done by the wind here till that little
gale Of last week; and that didn't
amount to very much.

THE NEW LIQUOR LAw.-The
Board of Supervisors will at their
meeting next June be called upon to
decide whether they will or will not
submit to the people of the County
the question Of adopting for this
County the new Liquor Law-Chap-
ter SO of Acts of the late General
Assembly. This law, II adopted, pro-
hibits the sale Of ale, wine, malt liq-
uors or beer of any kind, except as
provided in the Revision Of 1860. The
Law will be published in due course
in this paper. We desire here merely
to call attention to It beforehand, and
to express the hope that the Board
will duly submit 1t to the people.
Let us vote on 1t, at least. Fit Is
ratified 1t will be in force for one year;
and then, II It does not work right,
we can in the same manner repeal
the ratification.

WEATHEROLOGICAL.-Last Thurs
day night there was q freeze here;
and since then there have been two or
three froets. At the best we can
learn, some of the earlier kinds Of
fruit have been damaged, and some
cherries, &C., killed; but It Is always
safe to take for granted that the result
Of frosts and freezes andso forth won't
be quite 80 bad - people predict.
On the 18th we had a little furry Of
snow, just enough to be perceptible.
But other States and other years have
done SO much more in this way that

York on the sth of May, eome years

In Ohio on the Sth of May in 1915.

ADVANCE PAYMENT.

To THE PUBLIC:-It 10 hereby
agreed between Better Bros, Pub
fishers of the Pella Blade, Sperry 4
Barker, Publishers of the ZOscG Voter

specified, viz:
After this date Of February 8, 1870

for the full time for which it IL
entered.
On June LIST, 1870, all Subscriptions,

advance payment made, shall be dis
continued; and thereafter the Advance
Payment system for Subscriptions
shall be strictly adhered to, by all OF

as for others.
And upon this basis we confidently
solicit from the intelligent and fair

enlargement which their Local Press
will still strive to deserve and may
reasonably expect.
This Agreement to be published

A WAGoN-LOAD OF MoNEY.--Nov-
el-writers and readers, especially of
the Sensational School,, frequently
seem to have very indistinct ideas as
to the comparative weight of "piles of
gold and silver" For instance, we
recollect reading one story in which
the hero was made to find q box con-
tanning some $4,000 in gold, which
he tossed into his buggy and drove
off with. Indeed, there are probably
few of us who ever had q chance to
know how much that amount of gold
would weigh. But Mr.. p. III. Butter
field, of Dallas Tp., this County, sem
Tor of the Arm Of Butterfield & Barrett,
Contractors, is one of those few. He
used to drive an Express wagon In
New York City, and has frequently
hauled two-horse loads of gold and
silver, ranging in value from si50, 900
to $500, 900, through Wall Street, by
day and by night, alone and unarmed.
BY the way, Mr.. b. has seen ad-
ventures and met with losses and
reverses enough to stock a common
novel very well. From one ocean to
the other, and from the Upper Miss
issippi to New Orleans, now making
money and now losing it, he has "fol-
flowed his fate" hither and thither,
until now, yet young man, he seems
to have settled down in this County.
One of his brothers was In the employ
of the great Railroad King" Commo-
dore Vanderbilt, for about Is years, at
the end of which time the old Com
modore made him a present of City
property worth $40, 0OO-which goes
to show that the Colossus of Money
has some soul about him after oil.

"CHANGE For A w" is one of the
commonest queries here lately; but
we don't often find man quite so
free with his change as Craddick, OF
the p. o. News Depot. He changed a
500 bill the other day to sell man a
cigar. 1t was little game of bluff. "
The man thought Craddick couldn't
raise the change, and Craddick didn't
think the man had the bill; but one
really produced the change, and the
other the big G; and 30 q five-cent

A "REMINISCENCES OF LAFAYETTE
Mr.. o. A. Barker, Of Davenport, was
now here on short visit to his rela-
tives in this town. He has in his pos
session the original manuscript of the
