During recent trip, well nigh across oul
State, we made SPECIAL notice of the grain
prospects-and, we think, never did we see
such promise of abundant wheat and hay

sing wheat field, and everything else indica-
ted fullness and prosperity. Any ordinary

cease to wonder why so many of her sons are
called TO help man the National Ship of State.
Great country!-great men for great enterpri

That sterling, invincible Republican, Abe
Lash, will be pressed by his friends IN Pease
for Treasurer at the coming county congen-

more competent man can offer, nor more
worthy.

Speaking of soldiers we are reminded of a
resolution we understand was offered by a.
member of the Bellaire Invincibles, viz:
"Fhat we Is i'll never leave the incorporated
limits of Bellsire unless the enemy be in pur-
suit behind US" This is an effort in the di-
rection of civil service reform worthy Of the
land we live in. @

The wind mill company that SO successful
y blewed their wares through this communi-
