ptrance.... harvest season has been
mae enjoyable by luxuriant yield, not
outstanding its onerous duties. Neal g.

usll zeal and promptness, and thereby
succeeded in threshing perhaps eighty-five
percent. of the grain of the township..".
Weave ascertained by careful inquiry that
thei has not been greater reduction in the
areplanted in cotton this year than three
to fe per cent. compared with last year.
Thel is at least reduction of ten per cent.
of qnmercial fertilizers used upon this
cropbut there is an increase in the corn
crop about four per cent. This is move
in thright direction, but would have been
bettetwith a greater disproportion in the
two ops...... .Chesley Martin is said to be
one obur best farmers. The present con-
dition his crop is proof of the fact. 1.-The
fence qestion is discussed. 1t is estimated
that the is upon an average one-half acre
of unealosed land to each head of cattle,
and thatwelve or more head pass over this
half acravery day. Would it not be econ
omy to SHIT off the eleven and enclose this
lot for theme? Some are opposed because
number farmers living upon ridges have
no water r,sing through the premises, but
we have oiy found three in our township
thus incone enienced. There are probably
more, but strcely one in twenty. We refer
to these twpoints, as they have been laid
down as Iemises isl recent discussions
among US, ON which conclusions of op.

THE REASON WHY.
But yea ask why is Cancellation 50 i'm,
portant now, that 1t must be purchaser
At such great sacrifice? The answer Is
easv. 1t is absolutely necessary to de-
feat Sam Randall for the Speskershlp.
If Randall is elected Speaker then Tom
Scott and his Texas Pacific subsidy 90
to the winds. If Hayes can play on thiS
string to disorganize the Southern Dem
ocrsts AID control the organization OF
the next House OF Representative, MS
policy will have been success. mere 's
the whole thing i'll nutshell
Cancellation, when it stands on us
own footing, Is a good thing. But when
il has to be- mixed up with subsidy JOBS
il is not so good. Better have estrange-
mept or even discord, q little longer
than have q good purpose prostltuted 70
base uses.
Thus we see President, who owes his
osltlon to successful trickery and fraud,
Dcram bulating about the country In al
effort to gull people into the belief OF his
honesty IT order TO promote the schemes
of his master, Tom Scott, whose Vasssi
he is. The day for the rule OF monoPo-
lies and corporation rings Is over 10 TINS
country. And when Mr., Hayes attempts
TO revive their power ne is furnishing
Jim Blaine u CLUB with which 10 break
heads. =,
When we see leading Republicans like
Blaine and Conkilng giving their Presi-
dent the cold shoulder because OF his
apostacy it is humiliating to see Demo
Gratis, or those who affiliate with the
Democratic party, attempting to deny
him. So long as he adopts Democratic
views and enlorces Democratic principles
let him alone and make no iactlous OPP
position. But there is no occasion tor
making him our leader. Apostacy IN
the DAYS of Judas Iscsriot was high
crime, and subsequent history gives no
instance OF deserving spostate.
