to call upon the citizens for subscriptions.
1t would greatly oblige us if you would

gave your money so readily to help lib

more than us all, whose fearless courage

you help give them freedom from igno-

hour before the time appointed, when Mr..
o. NJ. Pond and the Champion thinking
"discretion the better part of yalor," I'M

the Kirby and Sulky to compete. At the
time appointed the machines started for
the field followed by a large and rcspecta-
bic crowd of farmers, merchants. mechan'
les, &c, all anxious to see the real merits
of the machines tested. In the field both
machines worked admirably, cutting
every thing before them-cutting on a
circle and through winrow ofcured hay
It seemed impossible to clog either ma
chine. About 4 o'clock it became neces

To OUR READERS IN OsAGE.-For the
information of our friends in our old
home, we desire to say that the dis
patches published in the Mitchell Co.
Press last week, dated July 9th, and
purporting to have passed between the
editor of this paper and Messrs. Clyde
and Tallman, of Usage, are forgerics,
having no paternity save in the whisky
soaked Imagination Of the editor of that
paper. We have not sent, or caused to
be sent, a dispatch of any kind to any
person for more than three we ks, nor
have we be II to Waterloo save to pass
through on the cars for three months.
So much for the facts. The paper before
mentioned states that these bogus dis
patches referred to the question of who
shall be Postmaster at Usage, and that
we claim to hold the winning trumps in
that contest That is not true; we have
made no such claim, but we are free to
admit that if we did hold the winning
hand it is quite likely that the decent
people of Usage would speedily have oc-
casion to rejoice over the removal OF a
miserable sot and blackguard from the
office in question. For the good name
of the Republicans Of Usage and in the
interests of decency, we cannot but hope
that such will be the result of the contest
now going on there, but it is impossible
to foretell the issue Against the very
conclusive argument for his removal,
that rc is a low, dirty, wife-wlipping
drunkard, the incumbent of the Usage
post office has to offset the fact that he
controls newspaper and yields an I'M
scrupulous and bitterly vindictivc pen.
1t is not perhaps unnatural that those to
whom the responsibility belongs to re
move him or secure his removal, should
desire to avoid shower of scurrility and
abuse.
