SoYs OF HAM Picnic. The picnic Of
the Sons of Ham at Humboldt Park was
the largest ever gotten up in this city.
There was probably ten thousand people
inside the park during the day and
evening. At one time the crowd was
suck that there was scarcely standing
room inside the enclosure. Refresh
ment tables and bars we're plentiful, and
the colored troops fought nobly on COM
ing in contact with them. Speeches
we're made during the day by Barbour
Louis, Henry Sailor, President of the
society, Councilman Dickerson, Secre-
taiy, and other prominent colored men.

Several editors in this State, are in the
President making business. Perhaps
they have dull axes to grind. Aswe have
confidence in Gen Grant, and feel con-
vinced that the people desire his re-elec-
ton, we have no disposition to bring
about change in the administration.
The fact that a few Democrats have ex-
pressed SO much anxiety to dispose of
Grant and elect some other Republican
in his place, is no evidence to us that they
have any other design than to beat Grant
and the Republicans.

In 1910 the area of country comprising
the counties of Jasper, Benton and New
ton was known as Jasper county and
contained ID population of 1880 whites.
Between 1910 and 1850 Benton county
was organized and in 1850 had liza in
habitants, while Jasper contained 3,540.
III 1853, we believe, Newton county was
organized, and in 1860 the population of
the three counties was: Jasper 4,201,
Benton $500, Newton 2,300-total 9460.
The census Of 1870 shows the population
of the three counties to be: Jasper 1854,
Benton 6,615, Newton 5,S29-total II, 1893.
Ratio OF increase in the three counties for
10 years little rising of s. per cent. The
