MOLINE, Sept. 18th, 1878.
Gard From The Assessor of Moline.
Editors Argus:
As reference has been made in your
paper and others in this vicinity to my
bill presented and allowed for the work of
assessing the town of Moline which was
calculated to mislead, / ask room for the
following statement of facts: lst: | did

my republican predecessors with one ex-
ception who received $4,000. / took Al
more assessments of personal property than
was taken the year before. Thus / did
more work for the same pay than had been
given before. | asked and received fifty
dollars extra compensation for the extra
work OF gathering and making out the
agricultural statistics, work never done
before by the assessors. The schedule for
assessing has 81 questions 10 be
filled out IN duplicate, The agricultural
blank for statistics has fifty-6ve (55)
questions, and the book for permanent
record is a fifty column Journal. Other
assessors told me that their bill for this
extra work done was one-fifth (1-5l OF the
whole. Mine was for but one ninth tI-9l
But how get SO much work into so days

work the FIRST day of May and returned the
books the fifth day of July. working all OF
each day and until late at night; then the

ABOUT TOWN.

In our columns this morning will be
found the announcements Of Messrs. W. j.
Milford and G. W. Summons for the same
position--county commissioner. Both are
old citizens, both are well known, and either
of them would fill the position acccptably
to the people Of the county. Mr. Summons
has served one term and gave very general
satisfaction.
Mr.. Stillwell returned to the city Mon
day morning after an absence of six weeks
in the towns of Diclstadt and Bertrand
near Charleston, Mo. He reports that
country as mcxceled in the raising OF
watermelons During the present season
over two hundred cars of the fruit have
been shipped from that ncighborhood, each
car averaging between 100 ard 1000
melons
AT the W. c. T. L. meeting yesterday
nothing of public interest happened. Mrs,
5. D. Ayers, in the course of a few remarks,
spoke her mind freely about the doctors,
and she gave utterance to some uncommon
truths-uncommon because not commonly
spoken of. The treasury Of the society
shows Il balance of $51,49 in its own favor.
Miss Webb, the secretary Of the socity, was
instructed to correspond with DR.. Reynolds
as to the feasibility of his delivering some
lectures here this fall.
The 100 volumes of the Bohn uniform
library edition, received 10y the Cairo
Library association. and now to be seen at
their room, would do credit 10 more pre-
tentiouS associations than our own. Con-
sidering their means, the ladies have done
excellent with their society, and what is
better there is no tagging whatever in the
interest taken in its success; on the con-
trary it seems to be heightened with every
day OF its existence. The library is Il noble
adjunct to our public shool system, and is
influence for good cannot be ovcr-estimated.

THE BALLARD COUNTY BOARD OF
HEALTH.

IT RECOMMENDS A COURSE OF ACTION TO
THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY AND EN-
PLAINS THE USES OF THE HOSPITAL AT
FILLMoRE-DIsEAsE TO BE CENTERED
THERE,
We find the following in the Ballard
News Of last Thursday:
We the undersigned Ballard county
board Of health in view Of the danger and
dread Of yellow fever which Is now so
widely epidemic in the country, recon-
mended and requested the citizens of Bal
ard county to keep away from the large
cities and all railroad stations as much as
possible during thehot weather We further
advise all housekeepcrs us well as all hotel
keepers to bc9 careful where they place the
baggage Of strangers from localities in
fectcd with yellow fever. Their baggage
and clothing should be fumigated with
smoke Of sulphur and kept in an open, dry
room The hospital built in this county
opposite Cairo is not TO be used for patients
from Cairo. but for patients that may come
from the south on the railroad, and that
may be unable to go to or through Cairo on
account Of the quarantine. The railroad
company has employed physician to at
tend patients at said hospital SO that they
may not wander out to private families and
50 spread the disease. We think there will
be very few, il any yellow fever patients at
sail hospital, and no danger need be ap-
pretended by the citizens Of this county if
they keep away from there; but if a num-
Der Of yellow fever patients should accumu-
late there, this board, or other proper Off
Ger of the county, will take such measures
to prevent the dissemination Of the disease
rs may be proper and necessary,
1t is further recommended by this
board that the citizens Of the county
remove from near their residences all
decaying animal and vegetable subs AN
ces, and to thoroughly disinfcct and cleanse
their premises, to the end that they may
avoid all danger Of disease from these
sources. We desire to specially and par
t!cularly impress the municial authori-
ties Of the various towns in the county with
the importance Of seeing these regulations
are strictly and rigidy enforced, For the
purpose OF disntecting and purifying Friyy
vaults, carboic acid, chloride Of lime and
copperas may be uscd--any or all Of them.

The Cairo City Coal company can sell
better coal cheaper than anybody for three
sound reasons. 1t mines its own coal from
its own mines; it pays no royalty; and it
can and does land it at Cairo at bottom

it to do Just what 1t says it will do. Parties
in Cairo, therefore, can purchase 10 bushels
