Democratic Reform and Republican
Extravaganee.

During the winter of 1876 76 N
strenuous effort was made by tho Re-
pnblicans to reduce expenditures, 30
th"t their party might hive practical
reforms to point to when tile State
canvass Of 1876 began. In compar>
ing, therefore, the Republican ap-
preparations for the 6ecal year 1875,
and 1915 with the Democratic ap-
preparations Tor the fiscal year 1916
and 1877, tile advantage is giVon4he
Republicans in selecting the ycnr in
which their appropriations wero put
ut what they regarded as tho lowest
possible figure. 1t will bo seen,
however, by an examination of the
s"hjoined table that, exclusive of in
tcrcst, tho appropriations for The
current year, under Democratic rule,
are 1897, ,SG7 less than in the last year
uf tho Chamberlain administration.

No account has been taken Of tile

years SUN sufficient was appropri-

marked. The saving there is over
$4,000. There is an increase in the

LEBANON.

There have been three dogs OIL the mad
order in our midst during the past week.
Two of these belonged to freedmen on the
place of Mr.. Jeptha Harper, and one was at
five forks. The symptoms Of the disease
were well developed in these brutes, and
they were killed. They had fits, and their
eyes were very green. 1 wish that tLr
iourths OF the dogs in our country could be
killed, and then we would be able to raise
sheel profitably....W again have an OPP
portunity of adopting the law requiring
every ono to fence up his stock, and be-
lieve that our people will avail themselves
Of it, for 1t is assuredly to the interest of
both land owners and laborers to adopt its
provisions. One-third Of our present stock
properly housed and cared for would pay
much better than what we now have. The
compost which we could save and the I'M
provement Of our stock would of itself repay
for the trouble of keeping them up......A
few days ago colored man named Perry
Young was arrested on warrant issued by
.. 3: Jones, Trial Justice, for breaking into
the house of Mr.. A. e. King and stealing
some bacon and meal He confessed his
guilt to the constable, Mr.. A X. Mann, but
succeeded in making his escape. A brother
of this negro, named Berry Benson or Berry
Jones. was excluded from his church for
heinous offense, and would also have been
prosecuted had he not left this section of
the country.
