whatever the findings, it will be les

True Inxvardness.


We have no patience with man,
endowed with at least the senses OF
hearing and seeing. who viii persist in
placing himself before the public, and
make it appear to them as plainly as
though it were indelibly stamped upon
him, that he is consummate ass, yet
Scotty, of the Pope Co. Press. persists
in so doing, and as long as he has an
opportunity will continue to make
himself absurdly conspicuous, his re-
cent attempt tododge behind the facts
and publicly state brazen lie. leads
US to wonder whether he is knave or
fool, or both. 1t was not our inten-
tion to open the old sore, but when it
is asserted by a self-conyicted liaE that
we did not corroborate our statements
before the convention last fall, we feel
like doing what we did before, viz:
prove our assertions, which are these,
'that we did prove Whittemore liar
and trickster. AS correspondent OF
the Benson Times, we published an
item showing up the fact that an at
tempt had been made to pack the con-
vention in the interest of DR.. White
more. This we were called upon by
him to prove or disprove, and we
proved our assertions distinctly and
emphatically, and what we asserted
was corroborated by Messrs. Stone,
Overton, Griswold, and Bevans; but his
subsequent actious proved our charges
more emphatically and more to his
discredit than could be done by any
words or statements. In spite of the
fact that there we've three candidates
in the field, Whittemore could not car
ry his own county for his tool. This
showed plainly that the people Of Pope
county believed our statements, even
his own friends considered that he
would have done better had he not
said anything, as his broaching the
subject afforded an opportunity of ex
posing him. That the editor of the
Press is self-convicted liar was proven
by the first issue of his paper after the
convention, when he, over his owl
signature, gave the proceedings of tht
convention that nominated Mr.. Stone
and signed his name as secretary! anc
in the same edition, and on the same
page, printed what purported to b
the proceedings Of the famous bobtai
convention, which convention existed
only in his Indignation, and never hat
an existence, unless ''two men behind ;
barn are convention" To make him
self more absurd and publish himsel
as an egregious ass, he reported tn
calling Of another convention after tn
first one had adjourned sine die, whicl
fact was attested to by himself as sec
retary; therefore, it is apparent tt
any fair thinking party, that he pub
lished an untruth, and stands sell
convicted liar, and simple tool in tn
hands of unscrupulous tricksters.

Our esteemed correspondent, Rev.
A. C. Lathrop, publishes card in
the Pope Co. Press, to the effect that
he did not write certain articles which
appeared in this paper a couple of
weeks ago, We might have spared
our correspondent this trouble, but it
was an oversight on our part. We
headed the items to which we refer,
''Glenwood Items" but no items be-
ing received from our regular cores
pondent that week, our pressman in
making up the forms used the same
heading as used for our regulars
items. When we read the proof we
struck out the words tBy our own

they were not stricken out. We apol'
ogise for what was an unintentional
error, and in future, should we be
favored with items, will see that il
does not occur.

AS this is the time of year when the
roads throughout the country are be-
ing overhauled and put in passable
shape, we would like te call the atten-
tion of road-masters and overseers of
highways. to the fact that complaints
are frequently made. that some parts
of the roads receive more attention
than is necessary, while other portions
are slighted. This may be true or it
may not, but, nevertheless, complaints
are frequently made to this effect.
Inscriptions road-master may desire
to do work that will benefit themselves
or friends more than it does the gene.
raj public; but as every taxpayer is
interested, he should make it per.
sonal matter and see that the work is
put where it will do the most good,
as the parts of any road that are in
the worst condition should be repaired
first, and then if there is any time tc
devote to Strengthening or leveling, i
will be time enough to attend to then
after the parts that actually requir'
attention are locked after. It has go
so now that We must have good roads
|
such as will be passable at any seasol
of the year, and in order to do so, We
must have all the low soft places filed
bridges put in good repair and all othe
necessary repairs attended TO now
This matter is left with overseer
throughout the county and they will b
held responsible for any neglect.

We clip the following from the Min
neapolis Tribune:
The prospects of the corn crop in
Iowa are more favorable, and but little
replanting has been required. In that
state the spring wheat, oats and barley
are free from insects and growing finely.
In Nebraska the conditions could not
be improved. The heavy rains most
opportune and free from insects. The
corn all planted and coming up.
The reports from Kansas are graft
flying as regards winter wheat, and an
average crop Is confidently predicted.
In Indiana and Ohio there are COM
plants of damage to wheat by rust.
Corn and other grains are growing
finely.
Wisconsin has not suffered at all from
wet with her spring grains, neither
have insects put in an appearance tC
canse any alarm.
Michigan complains some of fly but
it is not general. And the fruit is moi
Injured as much as was at first sup
! posed.
Wheat harvest has commenced il
Missouri, Kansas and southern Illinois
but not to an extent to be considered
fairly under way. Another week viii
make work for the reapers in those 10
calities.
L
The reports in regard to damage t
the fruit are varied. While some sec
tions have suffered heavily the majori
ty have doubtless escaped materia
damage from this source.
The prospects are decidedly favora
BILE for enough wheat, corn, oats, etc.
for home consumption and to spare 70
the millions abroad who need and wi
take and pay for it.

Crops in this vicinity look well.
Owing to the peculiar formation of the
soil, it can stand either heavy rains or
drouth, as the soil absorbs and retains
only so much moisture, and being roll
ing throws off what is not absorbed.
High winds are what lodges the grain
in this vicinity, but it is claimed by
some, that the wind also stunts the
growth of the straw, and it never
grows as rank on the prairies as it does
in the timber.

man meets general approval, We
believe. be is true democrat, an
able lawyer and speaker, is up in
politics, understands the people and
their wants, has the will and the de-
termination and the ability to serve
US acceptably, and we do not expect
will meet with any opposition from
either OF the opposing parties. He
is sound on the greenback question,
though that has little to do with
State politics, and on all other
questions affecting the material in
terests of the people he will be
found soundly upon their side. In
corruptible and sound. we pass him
down TO our sister counties and ask
and expect them TO give him the
entire vote. A vexed question was
settled by a resolution passed by
the convention which nominated
Mr. Ewing-one that has caused
some little dissatisfaction before
but the lower counties are now sat
isfied that Giles has no disposition
to take advantage Of her numerical
superiority to Cypress them, and
they will come up as unit, we hope

Mt. MOriah.

The recent protracted meeting at
Mt. Moriah as one of great inter
est. The revival spirit embraced
the entire community. Christians
had restored to them the joys of
salvation and were happy in work
ing for their Savior. MANY sinners
were convicted and converted. The
amount of good done, eternity alone
can tell. Rev. w. NJ. Nelly
preached with much zeal and his
earnest appeals were blessed. 1t
was encouraging to hear words of
comfort and exhortation from the
fathers and elders Of the church.
Truly the Spirit of the Lord was
upon them, as well as many others
who did noble ard efficient work in
the meeting. With deepest feelings
of gratitude we often think OF
them and pray that Heavens best
gifts may be theirs. Our hearts
rise in thankfulness to God for a
live working membership. May the
revival spirit continually abide with
usl The Lord has done great
things, for which we have been much
rejoiced! May his manifold bless
ings continue with US and all His
people! Rev. L. j. Duncan was
with US one night, preaching with
great power and acceptabIlity, Civ
ing new lie and interest to the
meeting. 1t was deeply regretted
that he could not remain longer.
On the 3rd Sabbath of this
month our very efficient and highly
esteemed Sabbath School Superln-
tendent rendered his resignation
which was accepted with feelings of
sadness and regret. Appropriate
resolutions were read and adopted,
expressing the sense of the Sabbath.
School in reference to the resigna-
ton of Mr. Russell, and extending
to him grateful thanks for the kind,
faithful, and efficient manner in
which he served them. Mr.. Il.
came to us stranger, and although
with us but a short time he won a
warm place in our hearts. Our as
sociation with him was brief but
bright and pleasant. Our separa-
tion sad and untimely. Like the
joyous meeting of ships on the
ocean, we met, greeted each other
and parted, it may be to meet no
more till we pass the open gate be-
yond the tomb. May the happiest
benedictions of our propltious
Lord rest upon him and his wher-
ever they go. I. S.
