THE EUREKA CORN PLANTER.

This new CORN PLANTER just perfected by
II. NJ. SMITH, accomplishes what has always
been desideratum in Corn Planters, namely:
absolute certainty as to the quantity of seed
planted, and to the distance between the hills.
All planters depending upon brush to keep
back the corn liable to variation, any press
of the seed causes the brush to yield and increas
es the quantity dropped. The EUREKA has no
brush. new and simple device supercedes the
necessity Of it, and insures a6sole regularity in
the number of grains deposited. The distance
between the hills can be regulated at will. We
have no hesitation in saying that it is the best
Planter in the market.
Should it by any possibility miss single hill,
the man at THE handles is bound to see it, and to
know the reason.

Mr.. EDITOR As it interests many cit
liens of the county to know the arrange
ment for the care OF the sick, and as such
information is, or should be, free to all
taxpayers, please state in your paper the
terms upon which the County Hospital
contract is now given to the physician in
charge. II.
In answer to the above inquiry, we
can only say that the surgical and medi-
cal department Of the hospital is now in
charge of DIR. Thoma, who has an agree
ment with the County Commissioners to
attend to the duties of Hospital Physician
and to furnish all the medicine required
at the rate of $3.50 per month. This
contract is not spread upon the minutes
of the Board, but is n mere verbal agree
ment, rs far as is known, between the
Commissioners and DR.. Thoma. 1t is
claimed that the Board are legally author
lied TO make n private arrangement of
this character for the medical conduct of
the hospital, as they are only required to
advertise for contracts when the sum
to be expended exceeds $500. The diet
etc department is separate from the
other. Aman is hired, at $50 per month,
to attend to the kitchen, and the supplies
are procured at some store, at, we pre-
sumo, the regular rates. We have stated
above all we could learn in answer to the
inquiry, and must say hat we do not
like this way of suppressing from the
record facts of public interest.
