1t is fairly ~humiliating that so great a
State having such great cities as St.

such a big bridge to get away from it,

that such a State should be without a

thirty years, and made it great in our
national annals. Atchison. Henderson,

COUNTY.

Andrew county is situated in the Geo.
graphical center ofthe"Platte Purchase"
the finest belt of country in the Union.
Andrew county is thirty miles south Of
the Iowa line-boundod on the east by
DeKalb and Gentry counties. on the
north by Nodaway county, on the west
by Holt and Missouri rivcr,on the south
by Buchanan county and Missouri river,
1t consists Of an area of i2i square

The face of the country is considcra-

the Missouri river and the principal
streams. to-wi,: Nodaway, One Hum

almost level, while the bluffs. except
along the Missouri river. are gradually
sloping.
The eastern portion OF tho county is
peculiarly attractive in its general APP
p%earancc, being high. rolling prairie,
with beautiful groves of timber skirting
the streams.
The principal soil Of the county is u
silicious alluviai, intcr-miNcd with clay
and vegetable mold. Very fertile, light,
lriable and easily worked.
Corn. wheat, rye, oats, barley and
buckwheat yield large crops.
Fruit yields abundantly, there being
quite Il number Of very fine apple or
chards, several large peach orchards,
and numerous vineyards, yielding large
crops. and ample remuneration tor the
trouble of cultivation.
Stock raising is also successfully car

oats and barley raised ia the county, the
fine adaptation to all kinds of grasses.

The Presidential campaign will be
one of the most active in our history.
Democracy will not relinquish its
foothold upon the House of Repre-
sentatives, much less upon its hopes
OF national control, without adesper-
ate struggle. Every means available
will be brought to overthrow the Re-
publican party. The stake is a grand
one-no less than the nation itself
and to secure it Democracy will mar
shall, in battle array, every element
and shade Of opposition. Republicans
must be wide awake to the nature
and necessities of the conflict. Clubs
must be organized; the local paper
must be made a power for good; the
people should be enlightened, and no
stone should be left unturned to Sc.
cure a glorious victory for the cause
OF Justice and Union. Republican
ism saved the nation from overthrow:
kspublicanism can alone preserve it.

The attorney who squibs for the
p. of H., is informed that Brother
Grecnlee does not know of any case
parallel to the one limited at in his
query of last week, and when he does
he will give his opinion freely. lie
will, however, give this as a general
rule, that an indictment is not evil
dence of guilt, that many innocent
men are indicted and sometimes cor
victed from prejudice, i'll will, or ma
lice. That while it is outside of the
regular business of an attorney to
mould public opinion in favor of his
client, it is his duty when ever the
circumstances warrant it to make a
true statement of the case, and Or
rect false impressions in regard to the
person accused. He should use judg-
ment and discretion in the matter,
and should never rush into print with
his version of the case, either over his
own name or in such a manner that
the public will know who is the real
author. Such a course will injurc his
case whether it be a civil or criminal.
and instead of having the dcsir-
ed effect will cause people to believe
he is attempting to wreak malice on
his opponent, or to bolster up a case
that has no merits. II this answer is
not satisfactory Mr.. Greenlee will be
glad to give the querist any informa-
tion he may desire On the subject by
calling at his office Oh the east side of
the Square.

FRIDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY II, 1876.

AS perhaps every Republican in the
county knows, the National Republic
can Convention meets in Cincinnati
in June; the time when Republicans
will be called upon to select delegates
to that convention Is close ut hand.
II IS the duty of every Republican to
do his best to secur a delegation of
the best men in the State to that COLI
vention. That duty is to be perform
ed at the township, county and State
conventions. We therefore urge a
iull attendance at the township con-
ventions when called, and a selection
of the very best men in the townships
as delegates to the county convention;
that will secure a good representa-
tive to the State convention, where
the delegates to the National Conven-
ton will be selected. When the call
is made let every ~ be in readiness,
and let every one make it a point to
dttenu tne conventions.
The coming campaign promises to
be one of the most important the Re.
publican party has gone through
and if every Republican does his du-
ty, q glorious victory will be achiev-
ed. However, by local %dissention and
trivial disputes, there may be a dan
ger of dcfeat; therefore lay aside all
local disputes-all dissensions,and let
every mar who is in favor of Republic
can institutions, put his shoulder to
the wheel and roll up such a majority
that Democrats will be buried under
it, to be resurrected "till Ga
briel shall sound his trump"

This is often Il serious question with the in
valid. He finds the market flooded with pro-
pretary medicines, scores of which are recon-
mended AS certain cures for his peculiar all
ment. He reads the papers, circulars, and al
MANAGES, and finds each sustained by plausible
arguments setting forth its virtues and specific
action. The recommendations are as strong
for one as for another The cures claimed To
have been wrought by one are as wonderful us
those claimed to have been wrought by another.
In his perplexity and doubt, the sufferer is
sometimes led to reject all. But it should be
borne in mind that this condition of things is
one that cannot be remedied. In land where
all are free, the good-the truly vauabe-must
come into competition with the vile and worth
less, and must be brought to public notice by
the same fundamentally, which is adrertising.
In such case, perhaps the only absolute proof
that Il remedy is what 1t claims to be, is to try
it. The test of pudding is the eating of it,"
"Prove all things, hold fast that which is good"
is the apostolic injunction. There may, how
ever, be stronger presumptive evidence in fay
of one remedy than there is in favor of anoth-
er, and this should be allowed its due weight,
A due regard to this may save Il vast amount of
experimenting and useless outlay of money!
AS presumptive evidence in favor of DR.. Pierce's
| Family Medicines, the Proprietor desires to
| say, that they are prepared by new and sci
entfc process by which the virtues of the crude
| plants and roots are extracted without the use
| of particle of alcohol. Not particle of this
| destroyer of our race enters into the compost
tlon Oh eltnef his Golden MEDICAL discovery or
Favorite Prescription. This consideration alone
ought certainly to rank them high above the
vile compounds saturated with alcohol, jana
| lea rum, sour beer, or vinegar, which are every
where offered for sale. Again, they are of
uniform strength, and their virtues can never
be impaired by age. They are also made from
| fresh herbs and roots, gathered in their appro-
pirate season, when they are flush with medi-
cinal properties In support of these claims.
the following testimony is offered
X. V. FIERCE, M. d.: NEWARK, N. J.
Dear Sir,-I have sold great deal of YOUR
excellent remedies, and prefer to sell them
before others, because they give good satisfac-
ton to those who use them. hear such re-
marks as "Sages Remedy completely cured me;
it is splendid thing" or, "Pierce's Discovery

nothing equals it," and so might give scores
of remarks about your preparations. A color
ed woman was using your Discovery, and af-
ter taking three bottles was completely cured.
She, being in the store, said to me, 81 don't

SO might go on.
