Grant Post Once, Holt County,
MisSnuri.

The report comes us that this place
Is fast assuming Village proportions.
Town lots have recently been sold there
at one hundred dollars piece. a
number of improvements are under con-
temptation, and there will soon be a
thriving little country town. Mr.. f. S.
Rostock informs US that the Good TEN
plars have "swept" the town and conn
try, and that there is only one man left
who insists in his "habits" and refuses
to join the order.
A good shoemaker and doctor would
do well by locating at that point As
there is already a Grant City in Worth
county in this State, and in order to
prevent mistakes by persons at a dis
tance in the transmission in the mall
we would suggest change in the name
of the town. Name the place after
some man known to our citiaens.

Agricultural Outlook.

We have the most cheering accounts
from all parts Of the county. The sea,
son having been exceedingly favorable
for outlook labor this spring, great
breadth of land has been sown in small
grain and planted into corn. The corn
is all planted, and in most instances is
up and has been plowcd once. At no
previous season have our farmers felt
so hopeful of a bounteous harvest as
this year.
Apples, pears, peaches &C., also
promise an abundant yield.

DEMOCRATIC DESIGNS.

There Is said to be some good In th
worst of men, and wo are confident tina
even Frank Blair serves valuable pur
pose, in the politics of this republic
through his possession of the virtue o
candor. The ulterior designs of tht
Democratic party, under its present
managers are pnquestionAbly no les,
than revolutionary. They embrace the
| notification OF the amendments TO the
| Constitution, which are the best and
most valuable results of tho war by
which the Union was saved. They are
the best compensation the nation has
for its terrible losses of life and treasure.
But though IL is the design of the Dem!
ocratic party to cheat the nation OF these
great compensations, IL would be impo-
litic to openly say so. A man so sagac-
ious as Senator Thurman, of Ohio, or
Governor Hoffman,, of New York, might
even wish that this we're BOT the design
OF the party. lie woul at all events
conceal it. But Frank Blair does not
possess the quality Of reticence. He is
irrepressible in speech, aud, knowing
that he represents the dominant senti-
mcnt of his party, he even seeks to add
to his popularity therein by the con-
slant utterance of his views.
Now il was this same Frank Blair
who proclaimed revolution in 1868. lie
proposed then to forcibly nullify the acts.
of Congress upon reconstruction. In a.
recent letter TO all Alabama journal,
General Blair again proclaims nullifca-
tion as the true policy of the Democrat
ic party. The reconstruction acts, he
says and evidontyly includes therein the
constitutional amendments, must be
put out of the way. "All the cOntriv-
ances," he expressly says, "by which
the Radicals have sought to trammel
the people [that is the rebclsl, and forti-
fy themselves in power must be swept
away"
This, then, is the design of the Demo-
cratic party. Tho good that Blair
does is to expose 1t so promptly and
squarely that the purpose cannot be ac-
compished. The people of this Union
will never yield up the fruits to their
great victory in war. che party under
such scheme must inevitably fail. But
we call attention to the scheme. aud beg
the people to understand at one that the
contest OF great principles, which has
been so long waging in this country, is
not yet ended. The enemies of freedom
do not yet yield the victory to their op-
poncuts. They will be all the more
disastrously defeated in 1872, because
Mr.. Blair has divulgcd the design of the
party so early in the campaign. - Chicd-

PREPARE FOR HARVEST

With the approach OF harvest, farmers

sible delay 5th. The machine that can
be changed from a Reaper to a Mower
