The wheat prospect is considerably
improved over what was expected ear
ly in the spring.
Corn is growing very fast since the
late showers, and good yield is looked
for from the present appearances.
If our young men and boys who at
tend the Saturday night singing school
could arrange it to get along with less
shooting, throwing stones against the
fences, and making night hideous with
their yells like SO many fiends from the
internal regions, they would confer a
great favor on all good citizens of the
village.

Dolly Vardens to see what was the
matter with their sausage plants, and
just as their retreating forms had van

"Hoot tOot'' in derision. One farmer

his owlship for time but soon by abre-

Some first-class sensational locals

refrained from making mention of the
outrage. Should it be pro-

should be the fixed object of every
Republican to keep posted especially
in county affairs. 1t is a matter OF
personal concern, and we believe you
can keep yourself conversant with the
condition, hopes, prospects of your party
in no better way, in fact in no other
way at all, than by taking your County
paper. To get the greatest benefit of
our proposition is to accept at once. If
you have a neighbor who will not see
this tell him of it and induce him to

LONELINESS on the Increase
marked increase of female loveliness is
the eye-delighting result of the immense
popularity which HagaIl's Magnolia
Balm has obtained among the ladies of
America. complexions radiant with
snowy purity and tinged with the rose
ate hue of health are commonly met
with whenever il il used. For the ssl.
low and unwholesone appearance of the
face an. neck, which utterly counter
balances the effect of any personal at
traction the owner may possess, it sub
stitutes that clear, pearl-like conplex-
Ion which is such transcendant charm
iu woman. and renders the toughest
skin as soft as Genoa velvet. No Jne is
more astonished than the person using
1t at the marvellous transformation
which it effects in these particulars.

WE publish this week very inter
esting statement of the condition OF
our finances, and their condition wilhelm
Democratic hands. After a thorough
examination into the status of the
different funds, requiring months 0
hard labor the developments which
we give this week will greatly surprise
many of our readers. Many transae-
tions have taken place which the
records do not explain, but the fact
that our County was over $136, 900 in
debt Nov. 1st, 1871, at time when no
Democrat would admit to one-third of
such indebtedness, is something that
will surprise anybody less corrupt
than those who contracted it.

After reading the statements we
make this week, which admit of no de-
nial, if.the Democratic party does not
consider itself politically cursed for all
time to come, in Belmont County, we
confess our failure to solve the riddle of
their future hopes and expectations.

FIRE.-Many of our citizens have
been suddenly awakened to the con.
viction that we need some security
against fire, and many with whom we
have talked are surprised at the neglect
for it is nothing more-of some meas
ures being taken to render property in
some degree safe. Atpresent, as every
one knows, we have neither water mol
means Of using it. Let a fire break out
and if not instantly discovered, ten
chances to one, one-fourth of the town
is in ashes. Insurance is well enough,
but no company will insure property in
our town at less than two and one-half
per cent. of the risk and even then the
risk will not be above two-thirds of
real value. 1t is matter of wonder to
strangers visiting us that we have been
content to remain so long without pro-
lection. That we have escaped so long
is no evidence whatever that it shall
so continue. On the other hand it is
evidence to the contrary. The cost of
building cisterns and purchasing sec
ond-hand engine viii be comparatively
nothing compared with the destruction
of property that very trifing fire
might cause. The decrease in the rates
of insurance would pay for them in a
few years. The cost of building three
Or four cisterns, and of an engine and
hose would not exceed two thousand
dollars and perhaps would be five
hundred dollars less. The County
are wholly without protec-
ion. Filled as they are with valuable
.ecords it would be no more than the
luty of the Board of Commissioners to
id in placing the property of the coun-
v in some reasonable safety. Cadiz,

hased first class fire engine, but can
