Polk County.

Circuit Court met at Benton last Monday
about 10 o'clock, and by IL both dockets were
cleaned up. We heard Judge lloyl remark
that II was the first instance since he had
been on the bench where he was not obliged
TO have jury. The crowd was very small
the farmers generally remaining at home to
look after their work. Among the notables In
attendance we noticed Col. McNelly, Of the
Cleveland Banner, aud Mr., Trcwhitt, the can.
lldato to represent Polk and Bradley In the
next Legislature. Mr.. T. Is said TO be a
man OF sense and good morals, and will rep.
resent The distrlct credlinbly, no doubt, II
elected.
Tho wheat IN Polk and all along the route
between here and Bcptca looks unusually
promising. Corn planting behird, and rain
badly needed.
Polk county Is out Of debt, and the people
generally In good condition. Benton has Il
good hotel, and n magnificent Jail. The latter
Is generally empty. Candidates for county
offices scarce enough 10 make II an exception
TO the general rule. We believe there il q
grange or two In the county, though we hard.
ly heard the subject mentioned during our
stay.

We understand that Sheriff La
vigne opened the bridge last Monday,
unlocking it with an ak. 1t seems
that the parties who ought to have ap-
peared and either accepted or rejected
the Job have failed to put IN an sap-
pearance, and the contractors felt Ike
having the matter attended to before
opening the same to the public The
ice getting bad, and the crossing con-
sequently disagreeable, people became
impatient. and Mr.. Lavigne probably
acting by authority removed all oosu-
cles and the bridge is opened We
don't know as anybody caa be blamed
but the whole thing don't look partlc-
ularly commendable. We can't blame
the contractors, we can't blame the

URAND hAPIDS, haiGil -1Cil lSfS.
Editor Reporter "A most agriva-
ted and uncalled for attack upon the
person Of quiet unobtrusive citizen
was made this morning at the auction
store of O. C. Neeves, which [ think
ought to be made public, and denounc-
ed in public journal, as it will be by
every right minded citizen.
Mr.. Anderson, a Sweed, living In
Centralia, and plying the vocation OF
shoemaker, an old man whose head is
white and whose reputation is above
reproach called at the store afore-
said and wished to purchase some bed
ticking. Mr.. Neeves showed him a
piece claiming that it contained four
teen yards, but was Immediately in
formed that it contained eighteen
yards. Mr. n. ran over the folds,
but Mr. A. desired to have it measur-
ed. Mr.. Neeves did not feel disposed
to MEASURE it, and informed the Swecd
that he could take it or he "would
bust his head" The Sweed still in
sisted upon measurement, and turned
away, but returned and said that if he
would measure it he would take 1T it it
contained the quantity mentioned.
Some few words passed when Mr..
Neeves in manner which revealed
the chivalry of his character, and the
noble blood of the noble House of
Neeves, drew off and welted the old
man as he had agreed to do with the
bolt thereby keeping has cord, and es-
tablishing a precedent in CONNER
cial dealing hitherto unknown.
Now, henceforth every merchant
should have bolt of ticking upon his
counter wherewith he can welt A. b.
or G. who don't like the price OF his
wares, or in any manner objects to the
way they may be dealt out to him !;
for has not the House of Neeves made
it the thing to do?

A current item states that fat
beeves are sold at Fulton, Arkanas, for
three cents a pound, net, and the
largest portions of the cattle are
slaughtered there merely for their
hide and tallow. The hide is re-
moved in a unique fashion. The ami
NAL is knocked down, the skin cut
around with a knife, horse is hitched
to the outer edge of the hide, and in
a minute 1t is whipped off, and the
whole carcass thrown into an i'm
mense steam chaldron. 1t is boiled
into a seething mass, and the fat
skinned: This is poured into hogs
heads and the bones and flesh thrown
out. The consumption in this way,
at this place, Is about 600 animals
per day.
