Wheat in the Ground-Judge Mar
childOn

From Commissioner Summons who
was in the city on Thursday, we learn
that farmers in all parts of the county are
about through planting wheat. Mr.
Summons estimates that, taking Thebes
precinct as a sample, there will be at least
forty per cent. more wheat sown in the
county this tall than ever before.
Farmers seem to have come to the con-
clusion that there is more money in wheat
than in any other farm product they can
cultivate, and are planting accordingly.
From the same source we learn that
Judge Severe Marchildon is still very
sick, though his case is no longer consid-
cred dangerous.

Feeding the paUpers.

Commissioner Sammons has new
plan for taking care of the poor at tie
poor farm. Under the present system of
letting the keeping Of the poor farm ont
to the lowest and best bidder, the county
has tor years past paid on IN average
Sl3 30 per month per head tor their sup
port. At this rate 1t costs the county
upwards OF two thousand dollars TO main
tain the paupers at the poor farm along,
to say nothing ofthe large sums olmoney
expended on account of paupers IN Cairo
and in other portions OF the county. Mr..
Sammons' plan Is to employ 4
competent person at a stated
salary to take charge OF the poor farm,
and that the commissioners appoint one
Of their own number to act as purcbas>
ing agent, whose duty it shall be to pur~
chase all supplies, clothing, etc., for the
paupers at the poor farm. Mr.. Sammons'
claims that saving of not less than
$1,000 per annum can be made if his
plan is adopted. MIR. Sammons
will bring the subject before the
commissioners at their next meeting,
which occurs on November 10Th
next. The plan suggested is OBJ.
iectionable in many respects, the chief
OF which Ia that 1t would open up on ave-
nue. through which the county could be
mercilessly plundered, and the paupcrs
swindled out OF their just dues. But

There seems 10 be q determination on
the part OF great many OF the most
prominent and influential citizens OF the
city and county that Mr.. Thos. W. IIalli-
day shall allow his name TO be used in
connection with Office OF county COM
missioner. 1t is well-known, how
ever, that Dir. Halliday does not
desire the office, and would much
rather support some other good
man for the place than TO have il him
self. A faithful discharge of the duties

tails upon tho incumbent-partlcularly
if that incumbent is q resident OF the city
"a great deal of labor, and requires much
time and attention; in tact, much more
time and attention than most men are
willing to devote to it. Mr.. Halliday is
an untiring worker in whatever position
he is placed, and to this fact and to
the knowledge Of his eminent tlt-
ness for the office we asCrlbc the
desire Of SO many citizens OF the
county to vote TOR him. As we said
above, it is known that Mr., Halliday does
not seek, nor want, the Office; but we be-
leye that if the people desire him to
serve them, and il be can be assured that
he can be elected without being cons
PEELED to 60 into the business OF
soliciting votes,--in other words,
that il he can be elected without
having TO make canvass tor the
Office, he will not refuse to become can,

After looking the field all over, and
having conversed with citizens from all
parts OF the county on the subject, we
are convinced that Mr.. Halliday is the
proper man tor the place, and il he will
consent to become candidate he will
meet with little or no opposition.
