June 25th, 1872.
Allow US, Mr.. Editor, TO thank Karl, of
the Democrat, for his complimentary last
week We have had grand aspirations; j;
but have never anticipated the fame OF
mounting so high the ladder of literature,
that a writer of Kar's ability could even
look down at US from his lofty sanctum,
much less compare his literary produc-
tlons with ours, without marrlng his
honor. But as he has attempted 1t, we
feel lifted up, and hope that his descent
has not been much, and that he may soon
"smatter as much of the scientific, Qhe
quotation is from him. as he desires. BY
the way, Karl, how is Greeley?
Several events OF importance, at least to
those concerned, have transpired since
our last writing. Among them are the
marriages of J. w. West to Nancy
Chrowl, and T. J. Cupp to Nancy j..
Nyer. Long may the West produce
abundance, and the Cupp be filled u
overfiowipg with the good things of this
life
The communion at the German Bap
tist Church, was largely attended on the
14th inst Nearly three hundred mem
bers partook of the Lords supper, as that
denomination terms their evening meal
The meeting lasted over Sabbath, and
resulted in the addition of fifteen mem
bers, who were taken into the fold by
I baptism. I, Albrights baptised twelve
OF their probationary members on the
10th inst. We have over two hundred
Sunday School scholars in our rural
township Who can gainsay our moral
advancement?
! The MethOdists expect to have basket
meeting at the Forge School House, July
| 9TH. All are invited TO attend, and bring
| full baskets.
The jingle of whet-stones and rattling
OF mowers, greet our ears in various di-
rections as the harvesters sweep down
the grass. Good health and good crops,
bid fair to make the harvest a pleasant
one. When it is finished, we think of
meeting the demands of warm political
campaign IN West.
The DEM crat, speaking of the financial
affairs OF Plymouth, says it has deot of
two thousand hanging over it, and not a
dollar IN the Treasury. How is that the
Democratic management considering 70 r
corporation tax and improvement? We
are glad we don't belong thele.
We submit the following problems to
the learned ones who cry against the
Grant administration in these parts, and
desire their solution:
Judging from the present condition of
public affairs, how long will Marshall
county be free from debt prior to the pay
ment Of the national debt? Which will
have the greatest financial bearing upon
the citizens of Marshall county, the pay
m Mt Of her debt, or the payment of the
national debt? With these questions
correctly answered, we are ready to throw
our mite into the campaign IN support OF
the principles, and men of the party that
has accomplished more in behalf of po-
litical, social and moral Iiberality, than
any other party in existence. Can not
Marshall county organize a Grant and
] Wilson club, and can not West township
have thorough political organization OF
the same kind? Remember, Republicans,
that an ordinary effort will endanger the
success ofyour principles at the polls this
fall Let us have a powerful exertion,
and great will be the victory
