England and Russia, but the verdict
is unanimous that the best place to get
your plows repaired and polished,
your wagons, machinery and imple-

work, is at Clover's Blacksmith and
Wagon shops. About all such work
goes to that shop.

- Last spring about this time our
people were lying awake of nights
sOrely perplexed over the grasshopper
question, and as TO how they could
best circumvent the plague. By inde-
fatigable toll they mastered the situs-
ton, and raised respectable crop Of
corn and the biggest crop of hogs ever
shipped from the county. This
spring the farmer is not losing any
sleep about grasshOppers. He sleeps
well, ships his corn and stock at fair
prices, has plenty for his family, is
getting out of debt, and is looking
forward with reasonable hope for an
immense harvest of fruit and grain.
Prosperity seems in hand, and we
can't see anything lacking to make
everybody generally conteuted and
happy.

OF tho Now York State Association before u Was ais
banded IN obedience to tho Presidents civil service
order, had interview with the President recently

though the President DID not positively prohibit
the reorganization II plain that no was
not favor of It. Secretary Sherman, through

that therc would DO objection 10 govern

banded together as political b0ics Mr. Eaton's asso-
