Tell me not his birth is humble,

Is his word to be relied on?
Has his character ne blame?
Then 1 care not whence his birth place,
Then care not whence he came.
When he from an unjust action
Turns away with scornful eyel
Would he then defraud another
Sooner on the scG5oEd die.
Would he spend his hard gained earning
On brother in distFessI
Would he succor the afflicted
And the weak ones wrongs redress?
Then he is man deserving

And care not what his birth place
To the eye Of man may seem.

The Eagle Greek Greenback club has
adopted the following resolution for dis
eussion at McKee's school house, July
18th:
Resolved, That the Government
should Immediately call IN all United
States bonds, and redeem them in q full
legal-tender paper curreacy, absolute
money Of the United States; and that
such action upon the part Of the Govern
ment would be no breach Of faith on con-
tract.
Now we like grsenbacks ana believe
there ought 70 be more Of them, but
wish to inquire II our Eagle creek
friends are not pilIag It on rather steepl
We VIII mot enter the list Of sdiscussOrs, -
but desire to PROFOUND question: sup
pose the commissioners Of Lyon county
should call in all our S400, 200 IN county
bonds, and issue for them county scrip,
what would that scrip be worth per dol
iarl just about Is much, we opine, as
Ereenbaeks would be worth II the Gov.
eminent should ssimmsdlatsly'' proceed
70 put the Eagle creek resolution In force.
We fear some Of our greenbaek brethren
are little on on this business.

regard to crops, stock, etc., would state
that stock of all kind is looking we'll. I
never saw cattle so fat as they are so early
in the season. Fruit trees of all kinds are
loaded with fruit. Wheat and rye were
saved in good condition. AS to oats, one
of my neighbors says there will not be
room enough on the ground after the
oats are cut to contain the shocks. think,
myself, that he told q shocking story.
ALI have to say is, that never saw such
oats in any country. Never since the first
settlement of this part of the county has
the prospect been so good for big crop
of corn. Now, the question is among
the farmers, what are we going to do
with the immense crop of corn we are
now raising? Our cribs are full OF old
corn. We cannot feed it to the cattle.
They are so fat now they can hardly
walk. I will close by saying that the
health is good ana every body is happy
