The Happy Family Again

The Ottumwa Democrat, of this
week, again demands the withdrawal
of Irish in the following language:
eve again ask Mr.. Irish, in the
name of thousands of Iowa Demo-
Gratis, to withdraw his name from the
gubernatorial canvass. 1t will be
impossible for him to get the votes OF
his party, and as act of justice not on
ly to the Democracy but to preserve
himself from censure, and in the end,
ridicule, he should Immediately send
in his declination to the proper au-
thorities and leave the Democracy
free to act unfettered by the ties con-
tracted ut Marshalltown."
And the Times says:
Before the organization of the con-
vention we used our utmost efforts
to prevail on the delegates to ac-
cept the Hon. ID. p. Stubs, the Inde-
pendent Greenback nominee for Gov
ernor, and after its organization we
still continued our efforts in this di-
rcction arguing with and entreating
the delegates not to fritter away their
strength on two candidates standing
on identical platforms, but to no pur-
pose. Other, and we think, less wise
counsels prevailed, and John p. Irish
(after the suggestion of many other
candidates, who declined the profier-
ed honor,) was nominated by accla-
nation. We consider, and majori-
ty Of the Democratic voters of the
Sixth Congressional District are of
the same opinion, that ID. p. Stubs is
equally as good and more consist
ent Democrat than John P. Irish.
We hope that Mr.. Irish will have the
wisdom and magnanimity to resign
his candidacy in favor of Mr.. Stubs
and give him clear field as there is
not the ghost of chance for an cleo
ton without this concession and we
cannot see any propriety or political
common sense in dividing the demo-
cratic strength on two candidates that
are standing on two political plat
forms that are identical in sound and
sense politicians who hope are as
piring for political preferment may
see some utility in it, but we confess
we cannot, nor do we believe the peo-
pie can.
81 Il Il &
1t is in our mind now not to unfurl
our political banner with the name of
John p. Irish inscribed on its ample
folds, until the Wapello county Gen.
trail Committee signifies to us that it
is their wish and will that we, for the
good of democracy, make the sacri-

From Thursday g Daily
Five car loads of flax seed were
brought down for the Oil mill by the
X. Il D. M. railroad last night. The
proprietors of the mill are buying
immense quantities of seed just now
for which the farmers get very fair
price in cash.
There seems to be trouble among
the whisky men the Judge is setting
up the boys pretty lively and where
old fines remain unpaid the fine is
added to the new and it is "money,
marbles or chalk" Six or seven sa-
loon keepers are in jail now prefer
ring to pay their fine that way.
SHOT BETWEEN THE EYEs.-To-day
at noon w. Ii. Thomas, deputy shcr-
iffof Marshall county, passed through
the city, having in charge a man by
the name of O. w. King, arrested on
the charge of horse stealing. King
had escaped from the authorities at
Marshalltown about year ago, after
being indicted for larceny. The
Sherifftracked King to Kansas, where
he was at work on farm, and being
well acquainted with the fellow, he
was afraid his bird would fly on sight,
and that he might lose him. There
fore he sent two or three persons, ac-
companied by constable, to make
the arrest. AS soon as they made
their business known, King whipped
out his revolver, but before he could
have time to use it, the constable fired
at him, the ball taking effect very
nearly in the center Of the forehead
dropping him to the ground as though
he was dead. The ball penetrated
the skull and although the fellow has
carried the ball in his head for three
or four days he was able to set up and
as said before, was started for Mar
shalltown at noon in company with
his captors.

is to be recorded to-day. 1t occurred
yesterday evening, about two miles
north of Fairfield, in which brake
man had leg cut off and several
passengers were more or less injured.
At that place there is truss bridge,
35 or 40 feet high, which, we are in
formed, has always been considered
safe although it has received very lit
tie attention in the way Of repairs.
Yesterday evening, freight train
going north struck the bridge at an
ordinary rate of speed and the en-
CINE and three cars passed over in
safety while all the balance of the
train plunged into the abyss in a
heap. The accident occurred before
dark and was on the Chicago & South.
western road.
1t is said to have been a frightfuI
looking wreck and the only wonder
is that the passengers on the way car
of which there were several, escaped
alive. The wreck is very bad one
many of the cars being smashed into
kindling wood and freight scattered
all over the ruins. 1t is thought tina
the brakeman cannot possibly recov
or, and one or two passengers are per
haps fatally injured. We have no
learned the names Of any of the in
jured people.

MR.. EDITOR Since L last wrote you, the
crops have grown rapidly and things generally
present good appearance. 1t has been dry for
several days but the indications are now favor
able for rain at AN early date.
The District Conference has just passed away
after q session Of six days. There was o very
good attendance Of both clergy and laymen from
distance, and theswerd was preached from day
to day with zeal; energy; and power and it is
to be hoped that the good effects thereof will be
like bread cast upon the waters, gathered up
many days hence; and that none who heard it
will ever have to say, "the harvest is past the
summer is ended and we are not saved at
is good to be zealously effected in good thing"
and the heralds of the Cross here fully filled
the measure of the requirement. GAS steel
sharpeneth steel, so do the eyes of man his
fellow man." Such convocation, therefore, of
good men in their midst, should be n source Of
congratulation to any Community.
The day is now rapidly approaching when this
township will decide the issue as to tho "Fe nee
Law" Tho Law is now virtually in effect
in the Skull Shoals Country, for there is now
no 'commen of pasture" except the lanes and
| highways which, for the most part, necessitaes
the keeping up of the stock But to the
election which will take place OH the 18th, no
one at this time can give anything like correct
| idea Of what will be the result. Farmers are
generally slow to take hold Of things which in
volve On innovation in their domestic economy.
The Chester and Union Railroad has become
n topic of considerable interest, and should the
route be located to pass near where the Skull
Shoals road intcrsccts the old Pinkney road,
| this community will take liberal amour; of
stock in the enterprise. Many are of opinion
that the Pinkney route would be cheaper in the
end, than thae by way of Browns Creek, even
| to make the crossing at Lockhart's Shoals,
| (where, no doubt, it should be) and at the same
| time the interests of greater producing coun-
| try would be served. The nearest Depot to this
place which is now patronizcd is seventeen
miles. Jonesvslle, however, is only twelve miles
distant, but gets now mono Of the patronage OF
| this section, by reasn Of the enormous rates of
freight Sould the Union and Chester road be
built, and the Pinkney route adopted, it weuld
| furnish good market in five miles of Skull
Shoals. Respectfully W. NJ. +.

The Value of a Milk Cow.

In the Greenvile Nems, Of Saturday, we
find an excellent and practical article upon the
value of good Milk Csw to family and the
way to make o cow profitable. The Editor
strongly advocates soiling or keeping up and
training cow to make her valuable. What he
says about COWS in London is strictly true; and
we will say nRre one Of those cows, thus cared
for, will sH@2ye than any three cows now
living in this county, consequently, is worth
more than three Smes any one of our cows, for
beef alone, to aypothing about the milk and
butter and the maRure made from her: We
give the following fPm the News' article
The sale of thorouth bred cattle on tho streets
Of Greenville next Monday is well worth the
notice of housekeepess who know the value of
n good milk cow, anGbf farmers who know the
milking capacity of tie improved breeds.
A thorough bred hi sifer taken in hand before
she drops her first calf and provided with q
comfortable stable, and petted and trained with
care, and never allowed to run on the common,
but fed and cared 10, as q favorite horse, is
worth more TO large family than her weight
in silver.
The value of q thorough bred and first Glass
milk COW trained to the halter, and to give milk
almost without intermssion, is not to be esi-
mated By the price of milk in the market
ouch COWS are rarely f0unu In the southern
States, Jhst, for want OF little care. There is
no h9rse~il-the city of Grccnyillc worth half rs
much as such COW. There are thousands in
the city d London, that are valued beyond the
most extravagant notions that the average
American farmer ever had of the value Of n
milk COW. Large families are supported by the
milk and butter and cheese Of one cow.
Our attention has been recently called to a
COW ownel by Mrs. Glover, of this city, which
yields six gallons of milk per day. If that COW
were trained as those London milk COWS are,
it would be hard to estimate her value even here
in Greenville.
When milk cattle are properly appreciated
here US they surely will be before many years,
clover and turnip fields will appear on every
side Of the city, and cow and an acre Of
ground will comfortably support many family
now struggling against starvation. Land with
in two miles of a city is too valuable to waste in
the cultivation Of cotton.

again refer to the old Thompson FIGURING Mills,
on Thickety, nov under the management of Mr..

quality of the Flour made at those Mills, and

made at any mills, in this or any other country
Our "better half" who superintcnds tho bread

she don't want any more Kennesaw Flour, if our

good bread has upon the temper Of good house
keepers. Our peace is secure as long as that

ing upon our table copy Of the Nmety-.Sir
GUaria", a very neatly printed and well edited
journal, published, at Nincty-Six, in ALbevile
County, by NJ. Il. insolvency.
BY it We see that an earnest effort is being
made to form Il new County out of Abbcvillc,
Laurcns and other counties, TO DC called Butler
OF NinetySix County. We are not so sure that
any objection ought to be raised against the
move. Ii We understand the geographical posi-
would be composed of portions of four of the
largest counties in the upper part of the State
and could be formed without much, if any, in
jury to vi,ac.s while it would be a great advan-
tage to the State at large, in a political point of
view.

FOREIGN DEMAND FOR Wharf.-The most i'm
portant news to-day relates to an extraordinary
demand for our new crop Of wheat on British
continental account. Yesterday and to.day's
cablegrams were received ordering purchases
for about all that could lie hal at current figures
and when it is added tina. transactions for the
week nave run up TO the enormous aggregate of
nearly two millions of bushels. the magnitude
ms wei! as the urgency Of the movement will be
som.rehended. These operations, il should be
observed, have been attended with little or no
excitement, the parties engaged in filing the
o! ders apparently being dc,irous of executing
them, FOR obvious reasons, as quietly as possible
In addition to the fact stated in yesterday 8 Led
ger that one of the steamship lines had let all
lis available grain room for two months ahead
it may bo stated that like offers to other lines
have been declined unless at an advance on
present rates.
Parties most conyerSant with the grain trade
arc persuaded that there is something about this
movement which is not apparent on the surface.
These heavy purchases on European accoun can
not be on the calculation that our haryesis are
TO turn out badly, as all the reports from the
West within the past few days have been Of
character to show that the crops are TO be fully
up 10 the average. Even the corn, which was
in somo danger Of rust from excessive wet
weather, is turning out much better than ex-
pccted. These facts are we'll known abroad
as at home. 1t is assumed, therefore, that the
purchasers on the other side must have some in
formation concerning The war, Of n kind to con.
vince them that it is going to be pro,rac,ed and
hat England will not NC able to keep out Of il

add that 'hcse opera ions have been attended

he will find him better capacitatcd to cope with
him than myself. This is all | have to say
about it, and hope the matter will be dropped.

Smith, West and Harris, on violns assisted by
the Misses Littlejohn on the piano. Every one
expressed themselves highly pleased with the

| the largest acquitted themselves creditably,
showing that vast amol mt of labor and pains
had been expended in perfecting them. Whilc
it would take too much of your space to mention
all concerned, my attention particularly
called to compositions read by Misses Fannie

NJ. Carlisle of Spartanburg, Rev. A. A. James,
Capt. Foster and Representative VIM. Jefferics,
of Union, were introduced and favored the large
and attentive audience with pithy and eloquent
addresses, which added much to the interest of
the occasion.
After dinner the remainder of the day was
spent in various ways, and doubtless it would
not be fair to make the young men tell all that
they talked about, as some looked pleased and
some did not Upon the whole the Exhi-
hibition was splendid success. We congratulate
all parties concerned and would not mind at

The Methodist, District Conference was in
session at Messapotamia church last week.
About 20 Preachers and 30 laymen present.
The Baptist Union Meeting was also carried on
at Elbethel. Both meetings were quite largely
attended and doubles they have done much to
strengthen and build up the religious sentiment
