Preparing for Harvest.

No time should be lost in getting ready
for harvest. It would pay to procure a
moving machine and horse raEcr if
money has to be borrowed for the purpose,
when ten acres Of hay have to be made
In choosing machines, durability and case

We clip the above from the American
Agriculturist tor June, and wonld earnest.

the advice. A job does not take near so
much time end tho work is easier ii it is
fully prepared for during leisure hours

SUBSIDIZED.

During the pending of the Bond Pc
position" large majority Of the news.
papers of the State spoke in favor of its
adoption, some OF them with consider.
able zeal. Concerning such it was saidlbv
the opponents of the scheme that thew
were paid for publishing the views which
they exPrcsscd,-that they had some of
the bonds-tliat IN fact they were subsic.
lied in the interest of the bond-holders,-
that they advocated not their own con.
victi"ns, but the interest ct dthsrs and that
they did it from mcrccnary motives-f0ri
pay. Concerning this sweeping denunci:
alton we speak for no one but ourself,-
thinking that others as we'll as We are ca
pable of self defence. We will not allow
an aspersion of this kind to be cast upon
oursclf without entering an indignant pro:
test against it. 1t has always been a sotirce
of pride to us that the TRANSCRIPT, Width
or popula: or not, has never contained iii
its editorial columns single paragraph,
which was not ut the time it was written,
a fair expression of our opinion honestly
entertained. We have spoken from con-
r:ctioh, not from interested motives and
we fling back into the teeth of those who
uttered it, the slanderous charge, that We
were paid for the work which NC did ii
favor of the proposed adjustment. The
people have Il right to an untramellcd
press, and it is due to the Editorial pre-.
lesson that it should vindicatc itself
against any and all charges of venality.
With this idea in view VIC chccrfully CO.
incide with the Minneapolis TRIBUNE in its
expressed wish that a committee be at.
pointed by the next Legislature to make
investigation and rerott tile character and
extent of the means eiitloyed-Gfa nyJ-
to secure tie advocacy by the newspapers
en- any of them, of the so called "boitd at-
iustment scheme" This is due not alone
to editors but the fond holders themselves,
and to the people at large, and
| it should be done in the most thor.
ough and exhaustive manner. Let US
have an Investigation.

TIE unfortunate chap this time is one
George L. Drake. On the afternoon of

desires. lie learned that the said pr0tcc.
tor would remain away that night. About
II or II O'Clock that night some person
broke open the window cf the house, en-
tered and attempted to commit rape up
On said Lucy IIerzog. Suspicion at once
rested upon said Drake, who was arrested
and examined by Justice Woodland, and
upon a pretty thorough examination of
witnesses pro and con, the Justice was of
TIE opinion that there was probable
cause to believe the accused 5Uilty, and
in failing to procure the required bail, lie
was committed to juil to await the action
of the grand jury in the matter. If he is
found guilty we hope he will be punished
accordingly.

MIR N. n. HAMMOND, of the Fleck

and took a severe cold. Being subject to
rhucmatism, he was attacked violently in
one leg, and was unable Il. use it at all.
Doctor Connor was called, and after
treating him three days, the patient was
so much improved as to be able to walk,

under ordinary treatment he has never
before been able to walk in less than six
weeks after an attack. This speaks well

TIE TRANSCRIPT mentioned last week
that Sabbath School Convention would
be held at hose Creek, commencing on
Friday, July Is. we are glad to say that
the arrang .ments are all complete, and
nothing Las been left unConc which might
contribute to the success Of the occasion.
The people Of Rose Creek arc able to en-
terrain nicely Ill who may attend; and it
will afford them real pleasure tc do it.
We sincerely hope the convention will be
a success i'll all respects, for in our judg-
mcnt there is no agency for the instruc-
ton OF children which is more potent for
good than is the Sunday School and it
should be remembered that the children
Of the present are to be the citizens of the
future, and that in properly educating
them we are building up the State. Sun
day Schools are kind of medicine for
the prevention Of disease in the body
polite. GOOD citizens arc legacy which
The present owes to the future, and 1t can
supply 'hcn1 only by careful training of
Inc children.
