full and complete probate records, to
be paid for at the discretion Of the
Supervisors of each county OFT Of pre-
scribed fees to be collected in case
the work be done. The necessity of
having other record than loose papers
in these important cases is most pat
ent. Nearly every county has
provided for them, and the public
will be glad that our Board has called
the matter up by the resolution re-
ferred to-the substance of which, we
take it, they will be pretty certain to
adopt, since our present Clerk has al
ready made such complete records
for two years, turning over the fees
to the county and receiving no CON-
pensation whatever for work that
must have cost between two and
three hundred dollars each year.

Poor FARM-A Coon SHOWING
FOR CEDAR CoUNTY.-This public
institution it appears from the Aud
itor's report for 1874, has, under the
present policy of the Board, proven
4 very valuable and economical one
for Cedar county. Before the farm
was purchased by the county and a
Poor House established, the method
of relieving want was by voting pay
ment Of board, wood, clothing, gro
ceries, doctors bill, ETC., etc.-all the
necessaries of life (if not in some ca
SEES more)-for the relief Of individual
instances Of restitution all over the
county; and the total expenses in be-
half of paupers under that system
used to foot well up into the thou
sands Of dollars. Now, except in
special cases where the circumstances
are well known and make patent rea-
son for such exemption, the Poor
House door is opened in answer to all
calls for aid. The result is: First,
that the number Of paupers has grown
wonderfully less; second, that relief
is extended to the same number at
about one tenth of the former cost
It will be observed from the report
already referred to, that the cash re-
ceipts from the Poor Farm for the
year 1874, exceeded all expenses con-
nected with its maintainance by 1897
When We further notice tn at the total
appropriations forpanpers not in the
Poor House were 81, O40, we shall see
that the entire expense to the county
Of caring for its poor . year
was only $643. What county with
. population Of twenty thousand
souls can make such \ showing as
this?

PROBATE REcoRDs.-In looking ovel
the proceedings Of the Board of SUI
pervisors at its recent session, it will
be observed that one ofthe last items
of business was the introduction of q
resolution upon this very important
subject; and it was probably in view
ofi's importance that the Board de.
ferred final action thereon until an
other meeting. If there is any class
among US whose rights should be
jealousy guarded by every practical
precaution, that class is the small
army Of minor heirs, whose worldly
all-left them by loving parents dead
and gone-must perforce be for {
term of years under the care of com
parative strangers. The entire pro
bate business vas only lately devol
we'd by law upon the Clerk of the
Courts, and the records thereof which
he is compelled to keep in the dis
charge Of his duties as such Clerk arr

orders. issued from the Upton Pos.
ofhce for the quarter ending Dec.
3lst, 1874, was seven hundred and
two--a daily average of nine. The
total amount Of money received for
the same was s9,279.76, an average
OF $l3.22 on each order. This is at
the rate OF about 100000 sent annu-
ally from Upton through this one
channel, and is showing Of business
life that can be surpassed by few, il
any, towns of equal size in the State.
The whole number of money orders
issued up to date, is 1925.

TIrToN's PROSPERITY, PREsENl
AND Future Everyone who has
had any opportunity for observation
knows that the present season is thu
most prosperous one Upton ha.
known for 10! these many years. Fo
two or three years last past there has
been gradual but firm and steady
revival Of business, and in fact Of al
interests here. shown bv the erection
of numerous costly buildings, by the

in consequence thereof, as indi-
Gated above, not only have the mer-

wonderfully improved, but Upton
has become the chief and the best
market in the county for stock and
other farm produce. Several Of our
merchants whose former trade was
by no means Insignificant tell us it is
from Fifty to one hundred per cent.
better this winter than ever before.
One day with another, three people
are on our streets,t the present season,
buying or selling, where one has ever

been purchased and shipped from

amount Of grain Of various kinds
Only Tuesday an extra train came
down here to take away eleven cars
