EDITOR REPUBLICAN AS cores
pondent Of your valuable paper, it be-
comes our duty once more to try to in
tereSt yoGr mary readers. by informing
them of what people have been doing.
and what they have not been doing. in
this corner of the county. Though our
pen is not very prolific, yet We still
persist in writing something.
About the most important event that
has occurred, was another rough-and-
tumble, which took place on Battle
Ridge, near Platte river, few days
ago. The names of the parties we Of
course withhold. The attacked party
held the ground with great bravery, and
the enemy was repulsed with great loss;
1. G.. hat and boots. Battle Ridge, as
its name indicates, is famous for such
engagements, and the boys ought to be
n little more careful, as foreign power
might interfere. which would make it
more disagreeable
1t might be supposed that politics is
the subject of conversation in this sec
tioH, but such is not the case; though
people are alive to their own interests,
and are viewing the field al distance,
thinking OF the best mode of extermina-
ting all carpet-baggsrs, and getting
honest men to the front and politicians
to the rear. To secure this end, they
are circulating petitions asking w. W.
Booher, Esq, to become candidate for
the Office OF Clerk of the County Court.
We are all watching patiently for the
appearance OF the grasShopper, FOX it is
GENERALLY understood THAT he will make
this his stopping point in his destructive
tour. If he knew how little he is
wanted in these parts, he would certain
ly have his baggage checked 10 some
other point.
Another croquet picnic was held at
Mount Carmel. on Saturday last, and
we understand it was y success. Quite
a number from Savannah and Rochester
were present, and ageneral good time
was the result OF the gathering. ''Pur-
fessorn g. W. jenkins WAS present and
furnished the music for the occasion, and
was the '.tacile prsnceps" likewise.
We understand that, during thunder
storm last week. Mr.. Lafayette Mickey,
living in the northern part OF the town
ship, lost his entire crop OF grain by the
lightning.
On "Wednesday. the 18th inst, Mr.. Al
len ID. Miller departed this life, after a
very short illness. He leaves large
family and many friends to mourn his
loss
The question now is, i. Rural and
Farmer have accomplished anything
by their long discussion. II they have
not, they ought to have the sympathy
of the community. as well as OK
The Andrew County Republican. [volume] (Savannah, Mo.) 1871-1876, 1874-08-21

resistably driven to the conclusion that
this whitewashed theory will not stand
the test.
We may feel slow to sever our old
party connections, but as it is impos-
sible for us to accomplish anything by
remaining in the old organizations,
why should we feel in doubt as to the
proper course 10 be pursued? We
have recounted our grievances time and
again. We have beSougft and in-
pl0red our rulers to protect us from the
grasp'of the cormorants who have fed
upon us, and to raise the load of tax,
State and county, weighing. us down,
but they have either added '.insult to
injury" or treated our appeals with
silent Indifference.
Why should we hesitate under the cir
cumstances We are drifting from bad
to worse, and unless we can
stay the tide ere long we will be en-
quilted in utter ruin. 1t is no longer a
matter of speculation as to whether the
people will inaugurate Il party and
place candidates of their own selection
in the field. The only question to be
determined by us is: Shall we con-
tinue to support the men and organiza-
tons that have only increased our
troubles rather than diminished them,
or will we avail ourselves of the pres
ent opportunity to encourage reform
that can be productive of good, and
only good, to the farmer, laborer and
taxpayer? We must either calmly sub
NIT, or, like men. dash old party ties to
the winds, and shoulder to shoulder,
support the peoples ticket. COLLINS

was at a'Grange meeting, and he is
well aware of the fact
He does not deny my assertion that
people generally did not take an active
part in the appointment of delegates,
yet he would try TO make il appear that
did not tell the truth. All deplore the
slim attendance on that day. On an
other occasion he denies that the Grange
closed before the announcement was
made (another subterluge), or that
there was any appearance of refusing
TO admit any one without the Grange
password (Still another suoterfugc.) No
one applied for admission. There was
no Grange TO close, and if there had
been, no one knew it was closed.
Brayton told me, personally, that was
mistaken about his politics. admit
that thought he was ALI honest Demo
crat, but acknowledge my error and
crave his pardon.
If he wants to quit, l am willing to
drop the matter here, believing that
have character for honesty and veraci-
tv that his base insinuations can not
mar: but will not promise, rs he has, to
quietly submit TO anything that may be
said.
