Now is the Accepted Time.

Chrissnas Is the season when every body wants
70 accumulate and hoard up, as it were, all the
happiness he can. We would call the attention
of the people TO on important item, which should
not be neglected. Now is the time to secure a
County paper for the ensuing year. Every citi-
zen of the County should have a good County
paper. He may find larger and cheaper papers
away from home, that will give him the general
news and miscellaneous reading; bnt no other
paper does or can give him items of news and
County business that interests him directly at
aoIne, as the County paper can. To make the
world move lightly, every man must keep up his
uwn end; and to do that properly, he must keep
well posted in his own home affairs.
To those inclined to follow the foregoing ad-
vice, we would suggest the Chief as the paper
they need We believe we can truly say that it
far surpasses any paper ever published in the
County In publishing matters relating to County
I-usiuess that should be known to every citizen |;
while in giving miscellaneous neighborhood news
and gossip il is at least equal to any other; and
in all respects it will compare fayorably with
any country paper published in this or any other
State. We know that we do not always write or
print matter to please everybody; but that is
impossible, and We do not try to. But there is
no man who pays his two dollars for the paper,
who does not, in year, get more than ten times
two dollars worth of information that is interest
ing and useful to him. Very few persons who
subscribe for the Chief for year. stop it at the
expiration of the year, which is good indication
that it pays them.
Our paper can be made much better, but it
will require considerable time and work devoted
to it. The more patronage we receive, the bet
ter we can afford to put the necessary time and
work upon it. Every man in Donipban County
who can read, or whose family can read, should
have the Chief next year. At present, not over
one-third of them take it. Now, just Oh the in
coming of new year, is the time to begin.

We will suggest to the Beloit Gazette, that the

worth while to republish article, it will show
its readers that We said Republicans objected to

this wonld be used as a strong weapon to defeat
his reelection. As evidence that we told the
truth, see the Beloit Gazette, and several other
papers, that make the above fact their whole
capital in opposition to him. We have disap-
proved of Martins doing so, and have told him
so ourself And we have never abused the Com

editors and proprietors Of that paper had signed

Democrat, to become candidate for the Legis-

that they are now demanding a caucus which
their member will be debarred from attending.
1t is Martin of another color that they are after

Norman Dibble, an old resident of this town, was hoeing corn for Mir. Wm. Stoddard, the hot Monday, June 29th. Just before the shower, he and the young man with him, started for shelter, the young man running on first. Mir. Dibble not coming in, after the rain they went to sec where he was, and found him lying in the garden where he had apparently fallen dead instantly. He was subject to disease of the heart. The wind accompa- nying the storm was fearful, uprooting several large trees in it's course. blowing down fences and raising Cain generally.
 The crop prospects are good for all kinds of grain and grass, and farmers would be happy if they, as a class. were not co,astitutiOnaLiy otherwise: Just now they would like little more sum- shine to cure the enormous crop of hay.
 Fruit prospects are fair. Onr orchards are very free from those nests of worms that have made such havoc all over the county. Our farmers generally have been very careful for many years to destroy the nests when the worms are first matched, and we are HOW comparatively free from tho pest.
 R. P. Foster, N Hart, H. Baldwin, J. A Cochran and others, have had their dwellings recently painted.
 Tom Pulley. young Irishman, in a drunken frenzy and without provocation. stabbed James ODonnell in the neck, on the Fourth, nearly severing the jugular vein. It was supposed at first that the wound would prove fatal, but it is now thought that he will recover. Pulley IS under arrest and was to have his trial, Monday. The affray grew out of feud between the O'Donnell and Pulley fami- lies.

Mir. Henry Woodruff has his new facto- ry covered, glazed, partly foored, and the ioiners expect to have it finished soon. It is a much better and larger building than the one burnt, being 40 feet by 60 on the ground and two full stories (23 feet) high above the basement. Mir. Woodruff has a blaming machine all ready to set up. A mortising machine, press drill, tenant ma chine, and two sets of machinery for turn ing ax-helves. pick-handles, &c., will make up the complement of machinery in the new building. One of the sets of handle machinery and the tenant machine are now in operation in' the sawmill. Should the proposed match company be organized, and rent the new building, these arrangements may be somewhat modified. The upper part of the sawmill will probably be used as paint shop in connection with the carriage manufacture.
 Work has recommended on the foun- dations of the now Hall and Conference room.
 We believe there was ball-playing at the ''Green," but no match game, on the Fourth. By the way, the old Congrega- 6onal church shows considerable wear on its southwest corner. The clap-boards arc splintered and cracked in every direc- tion. Whether the damage is done by ''fouls" coming ''hot from tho bat" with out. or by hot theological shot from the pulpit within, is squCstion secular pa- per cannot be expected to decide.
