An Old Coln.-A correspondent says:
Mr.. Burke Kinsloe, of Andersonburg,
this county, has in his possession two
old English pennies, one with the date
1874 on it and bust of King George H.,
who, if we mistake not, was King of the
British at that time. The other con-
tains bust of the same King, but the
date is defaced and could not be made
out. We conclude there are no older
foreign coins in this county, if there are
we would like to hear of them.

HANS PRAIRIE, Galloway Co., Mo.
November 25th, 1873.
Mr.. EDITOR = Being a reader of your
valuable paper, and formerly q resident
of Perry county, and having promised
many friends to write what / thought
of my western home, by your kindness
1 will respond through your paper.
About two years ago took IL. G's. ad-
wise, young man go west and double
your money!, located in south central
Missouri, % miles north east of Jeffer-
son City, Galloway county. The sur
face of this county is broken, being
about the same as Perry county without
the mountain. The soil is yellow clay,
ranging between Gunbo and Crawfish,
about of the soil is timber land, !
prairie climate, seems to be on the eX-
treme either dry or wet. The principle
products are tobacco and corn, wheat
raising has begun lately on timber lands
where it has been successfully raised.
Markets are low here, there being no
grain shipped hence no merchants. The
mineral is a soft coal which is found
imbeded in timber land it sells for eight
cents per bushel. Politics are all one
sided like handle on jug (Democratic).
This having been a slave state, about {
are white, the remaining negroes, of
all shades and colors. Improved lands
sell here from 81 to SIS per acre. Taxes
are high, schools and churches con-
venient. There are about II or Is
Pennsylvania families located here, the
cry with all is, if could only sell and
go west. Now if any think L am going
to advise them to come west, they are
fooled, for believe in all seeing for
themselves, and you all know the rail
road runs both ways.
With respects to all,

GRANGER POLITICIANS.

Farmer Downs attention il directed
to the fact that in every state in the
uion in which the granger element has
predominated in the legislatures, ter.
rible howl of indignation has gone up
from the press and people at their igno.
rance and stupidity in dealing with
public matters. Take, for instance the
late legislature Of Kentucky, in which
the grangers had full sway, rs we'll as
that of Pennsylvania, now in
session, and more downright laundering
ignorance is displayed than was ever
before collected together in these states.
The trouble with the grangers is that
they are not discriminating in their
ideas of economy. The principal OF
fifteen dollars month and found is
the theory of nearly all their argu-
ments. We have faint idea that the
grange is secret order of farmers who
exclaimed in the commencement Of
their career that politics would be es'
chewed. yet within the past two year,
politics has made that order something
of factor in public matters in THU
country. Agricultural pursuits are ad
mirable and farmers, as q class consti
tute one of our best and most usefu
elements Of society, but unfortunatel,
for them, few demagogues have gotter
into their ranks tor selfagrandizement
and have perverted the original aim.
and objects of the order of Patrons o
Husbandry for selfish ends, namely
their own election to office, or con-
troll of those from the ranks of the or
der who are elected, These men incit,
q naturally too confding people agains
other elements upon exploded theo
ries and incendiary appeals to passion
never needing the consequences so Ion,
as they are in the ascendancy. Place
these same men on u common leve
with their average fellow men and ther,
they remain, impotent and obscure; but
give them an opportunity of displaying
their cunning and up they come. l
the honest farmers of this countr,
would take steps which will redounC
to their interests, they will not heed the
silly and dangerous harrangues ant
newspaper articles being directed tc
their consideration by these men, buI
will repudiate them and do little
thinking for themselves.

Getting Names for had Purpose.

In all the papers of the flashy sort,
as well as some that claim higher
standard, says one OF our exchanges,
may be read the advertisement, "Your
name neatly printed on fifty cards for
ten cents-postage paid" etc. Every
printer knows the cost Of the cards
furnished, which are of fine board,
together with the work and postage,
will cost at least three times ten cents.
How then, can men make this tarfiic
pay? II Is claimed that the lists of
thoughtless young ladies and innocent
young girls, as well as those of your 7
men and boys, gathered by advertise.
ments OF this kind In every city and
village, and at almost every post office,
command big price when offered for
sale to men who deal In literature Of
that kind which poisons the young
mind and prepares foundation for a
blasted life. In the hands of these
soulless retches, the.preserved lists are
unerring guide to the hear thstone Of
almost every family. The cards are
