quently in their defending in the courts,
just and lawful claims against the county,
without any hope of success, thereby bring
ing upon the county enormous costs. One
such case, which is now fresh in the minds
of the people, might have been amicably set
tied at the total cost of $45 to the county,
but the Commissioners acting, as they did
in my case, upon sOhGt they regarded to be
their duty and nothing more, stood two
trials in court, the costs in which alone
amounted to over $1O0 to the county.
Mr.. Hall says they were guided in the
matter entirely by the decision of Judge
Brown, in the case of the State of Mime
sofa VS.. Hurley, case similar to the one 1
appealed. Now, this statement must have
grown out of one Of two things, and per-
haps both intention to misrepressnt Judge
Brown, or ignorance as to what constitutes
difference between two cases, in legal
point of view. Judge Brown stated, at the
argument Of my case, at the June Term of
Court, some of the particulars wherein they
differed.
Mr.. Hall intimates that the case was con-
tested to determine point which would
involve considerable expense to the county.
Very true, and the case was determined,
probably to the satisfaction of Commits
s6oner Hall, in the most expensive way
possible for the county.

As the time approaches for holding the
Annual Fair of the Stevens County agricul-
tural Society we desire to say few words
to the managers. Our fairs have not, here
tofore, been attended with that degree Of
success which we have anticipated, or
which we had good reasons to expect, and
hence, few words or suggestions may
not be out of place. To ensure success
you must first awaken the interest, not of
the farming community alone, but of all
classess the public in general. To do this
you must arrange an attractive programme
and if you offer prize for good yoke of
cattle, be sure and have purse for the
feetest runner, if you have prizes for grain
have prizes for athletic sports. Have your
programme arranged and premium award
cd 80 that you will interest every one. 1t
is small matter to offer q purse fer base
ball match or foot race, but there are very
many who would prefer to see game of
ball or keenly contested foot race to look
ing over the stock, produce etc.. on exhib-
ition. On the other hand very many have
no interest in anything out side of the arti-
cles on exhibition, hence, you must furnish
attraction for all. If the younger members
of the community sec they are remembered
in the programme they will at once mani.
fest an interest in the days festivities, and
do all in their power, and within their
means to make their portion of the pro
gramme attractive 1t does not answer to
completely ignore the young folks, neither
would it do to neglect the objects and pur
poses of the society, but when you car
combine both interest and enlist the sym
pathy of all classes, it is suicidal not to dt
so. We can surely have one holiday il
each year, and why not make Fair day gal,
day, If the management act judiciously
keeping in view the fact that the success
of the enterprise depends as much on th,
attractiveness of the programme as upol
the display Of articles exhibited, they cal
| make the occasion interesting to all classe

Mr.. EDITOR:

MIR. EDITOR:
AS rule, do not believe in contro
versies through the newspapers, but when
there is special request to reply to CON-
munication, the rule does notapply. Com
missioner Hall took some exceptions to an
item in your issue Of July 10th, relating to
the cause of my resignation: neither
wrote or suggested the article, but it stated
correctly the cause of my resignation. I
did not resign solely because of the disal-
lowance by the Commissioners of the small
bill upon which brought suit, as Mr.. Hail
would have you believe from his article,
but the Hon. Board of County Guardians
laid over and delayed nearly every bill
presented, which was entirely unnecessary
as the fees of Justices Of the Peace are
fixed by law, and it is only necessary TO res
fer to the law in order to find whether or
not they should be allowed. The fees of
Justices are inadequate to the duties and
responsibilities of the ofiice, and without
the fees are paid within reasonable time,
it 10 simply bore.
Mr.. Hall says: 1.-THE Commissioners in
disallowing the bills were actuated by nc
spirit ct malice" &c. Very likely it was
not malice, but compound Of ignorance
and mcanness. The Commissioners sup
posed they had the matter of pay, or nc
pay, Of the non-salarisd officials all thei
own way, but there happens to be q pro
vision for the payment of such officer
which the Commissioners in ell their wis
dom cannot control.

The following from the lie Sueur Senti
mel is worthy of consideration at the hands
Of our farmers: 1T is the universal testi
mony of good farmers that wheat cut just
as it IS passing out of the dough and before
hardening produces a fuller and heavier
kernel, weighs more and makes better flour
than if left to harden before cutting. Be-
sides it causes much less shelling in hand
ling" From several years experience in
handling and grading wheat we can testify
to the truth of the foregoing. Wheat cut
little green and properly shocked and
stacked will weigh from two to three
pouRds heavier than if fully ripe before
cutting Then again seed wheat is more
or less mixed, consequently as some of the
different varieties ripen quicker and earlier
than eshers there is, if you wait for the
whole TO ripen, always heavy loss from
the over ripe grain shelling. Practical
farmers all admit that there is an immense
saving in cutting grain before ripe, as there
is sufficient nutriment in the straw to fill
the kernel. In view of these facts farmers
will do well to commence cutting at once.
No time should be lost.

came uncomfortable, and the mower strik-
q huge boulder at the same time, threw Mr.
M. in front of the sickle, which literally
butcheFed him, by mutilating his body in
numerous places, and cutting off three toes
on his right foot. By desperately clinging
to the lines of the runaway team he saved
his life, although being torn about the legs
and arms by the poiated guides.

That Pope county should be without
mail facilities, is disgraceful outrage.
Here is county with over forty thousand
acres of land under cultivation, and raising
nearly one half million bushels of wheat,
deprived of mail service by fraud in the
letting of contracts by the department at
Washington. Contracts were let at ruin
Gus rates, apparently to irresponsible par
ties, and not being able to sub let the con-
tracts for anything like the amounts of
their bids, the contractors have failed to
perform the service. We do not see why
the parties to whom the contracts were
awarded are not compelled to fulfill their
agreement, even if they do lose heavily by
the operation. The public should not be
made to suffer for any error in their esti-
mates, or skulduggery on the part of the
department in awarding contracts.
