is very strong. Public opinion is universal
ly with Taylor and against Guyer. The
other day we stated what the assessor from
Rural said about Guyer and his attempt to
create prejudice between the people of
Rural and Edgington. Guyer was de
nounced in vigorous terms.
The next day Charles Titterington,
Esq, the supervisor from Edgington, was
in town, and he was very outspoken on the
subject. He said the Union had misre-
presented the people of his town, in fact,
to be plain, and use Uncle Charlie words,
he said the Union lied and he was going
over to that Office to tell them so.
The people understand the whole bust
ness. The moving cause of the attack up
on Mr.. Taylor and upon all the people o.
Edgington township, is this: Guyer, thu
Union, and their ring are opposed to town
ship organization, and they hope to brinl
the system into disrepute and procure it
adjustment, so that they and their. set cal
manage county affairs. They will inglori
ously fail,

Mercer County Nominations,

The Mercer county Independents have
shown excellent judgment in nominating
their present county treasurer for selec-
ton. Mercer county never had better
treasurer than Mr.. Graham and he ought
to be reelected without opposition. He is

ute longer il you wish it perfect. A few
trials will serve to show you how much
cooking is required.
LEMON SNAPs.--One cup butter, two cups
sugar, one-half cup milk, three eggs two tea
spoout1s Of lemon extract, one teaspooniul
cream Of tartar, one-half teaspoonful salera-
tus, -four; roll thin. BY using ginger it
makes nice ginger bread.
[lf any Of our lady readers have a good,
healthful, economical way Of cooking any
particular article Of food, we would be
pleased to have them write their experience
for the benefit of the cooks of the FARMER
family. We never iancied weighing or
measuring all articles used about cooking, as
much as most people, believing that good
judgment, care aud a little dependence upon
our own skill will produce food just as palat-
able. more healthful, and decidedly more
economical, than the highly seasoned dishes
which are described in most cook.books.
As this is the season of the year for
chicken stews we will give our way Of
making dumplings. With one quart Of
siited -four mix one teaspoonful of salt, two
Of cream Of tartar, and one of soda. Pour
in sweet milk aud stir until the mixture is
just thick enough to form into biscuit
Place them upon the largest Sized round
