Although there is no special interest thi:
gear, it is the peculiar duty of citizens who
believe ia Republican principles, to have a
full convention. With the Republican ma
jority in this county, the selection of coun.
ty officers practically rests with the con.
vention.
The business interests of the county. re-
quire good officers, men Of character. as

Die, honest, of pure morals and good con-
duct. We have been fortunate in the past,
and we anticipate good officers for the fu-
t9re.
1t is important too that good men should
be sent to Augusta. as our county influ-
eaee in the States Councils, depends al
most wholly upon her Senators and Rep
resentatives. We hope every town in the
county will send full delegations, and that
many Republicans outside the regular
delegates will also be preseRt to advise.
The action of the convention will. we
doubt not. be satisfactory but none the
less is it desirable that every part OF the
County should be fnI represented.

after some consultation was decided upon.
The crew and the officer of the Glance
were requested to be present as witnesses.
and 10 their presence the unfortunate man
was shot with q revolver. In consequence
of the way in which he moved about the
rigging three shots had to be fired before
he was fatally struck. The poor fellow

brief description of a Western harvest field
may not be uninteresting. as it differ, ma
terially from those of Eastern Maine.
Farms in this State have from 40 to 1000
acres and some contain even more. though
the average is not far from 200 acres
Farming here really commences 10 the
fall, as the staple production is put In i'm
mediately after harvesting the corn. and
prior to the autumnal rains. About the
18th Of September, the land which is to
bear wheat, is pioushed and put in readi-
ness for the reception of the crop. From
10 to $50 acres are usually devoted to this
crop. according to size of the farm The
work Of preparing SO much ground for the
sowing Of the wheat seems. at first sight,
quite an undertaking, bpt With the m achn-
cry here employed. it is easily and speedily
accomplished.
The plough is on wheels and is arranged
so as to turn two furIOws at q time 1t re-

after The manner Of mower. and is drawn
by three horses. The driver rides, guides
the team and raises or lowers the sheaves
according to depth desired. When the
ground has been narrowed and sowed.
nothing more Is required till harvesting
comes on. Corn ground is ploughed in the
spring, when the crop is put in as early Is
possible and in great quantities, Illinois
being one OF the first corn-growing states
in the Union. It's necessary to obtain a
good yield. that corn SHOULD be hoed three
or four times. but it is all done BY machin.
