Every man may in sense be his

to leave his imprint on the rosy lips
that say, "Oh, now don't!'
A man was taken up lately for rob-

commenced by cheating the printer,
and after that everything rascally came
easy to him.

Bellows Is here now, letting the con-

is required to build over the Heart

evidently thinks he has a good con-
tract. Ae doesn't furnish any of the
rails or cross>ties. His contract is 50
much a yard for earth, 80 much for
loose and solid rock, so much a foot
for piling and trestle work, so much
for this and so much for that, and the
more there is Of it the better he will
like it.

British column, consisting of por-

a battery of artillery and six hundred

of one hundred and two wagons, one

pounds weight Of provisions, and the

1t is estimated that 1000 Zulus were

Among the killed on the British side
are two majors, four captains, twelve

captain, four lieutenauts, and a SER

Last Friday evening the Little Falls

was excellent, the literary paper was
entertaining, and the debate-well, that
Just beat everything. After the prin-

Richardson, had flushed, volunteers
were called for. Messrs. F. N. Foster
and s. P. Fuller responded with short
addresses containing some well-put
witticisms that excited roars of laugh
ter. Prof. J. G. Flynn also spoke for
some time in very instructive and en-
tertaining manner. The debate was
closed by the principal speakers, who
occupied ten minutes each, and the
judge decided 10 favor of the afirma>

was as follows: -:

Correspondence.

Little Texas, Feb. II, 1879.
Editor Of the Transcripts:
Much has been said IN favor Of is
suing county bonds to aid in building
the proposed Little Falls & Dakotah
railroad, and nothing has yet appeared
in your paper against it; it might BE-
we'll, therefore, to put in a word in
the negative. The Hon. n Richard
son has set forth all the advantages
and improvements expected to follow
the building Of the road, and some of
his views may be correct; but can the
people Of Morrison county afford to
remain under a bonded debt for many
years to come in order to secure some
slight advantage by the construction
and operation of the proposed road
Mr.. Richardson's estimate of the in
terest on the bonds and the amount of
taxation necessary to meet the Interest
and principal, as shown in his last let
ter, is somewhat obscure, and the esti>
mated rate of interest, six per cent, Is
doubtless too low.
The interest on $4,000, at 6 per
cent, for twenty years, amounts to
about $48, 900, and at the end Of tina,
time we would still be owing the priu.
cipal. And how much will 1t benefit
the farming community of this coun>
ty? We cannot expect any better
market for our grain and produce, as
We already have direct outlet to the
East via. Duluth, and the proposed
new road will not help us in that re.
spect. If the new road is to benefit
Little Falls and some of the western
counties, let Little Falls and the west.
ern counties pay the bonuses; or, lie,
Little Falls pay il proportion to the
benefit received. The issuing Of
bonds for railroad and other purpose.
is so frequently connected with fraud
of some kind that the people some
times have abundant reason to regre,
having been mlsled so easily. If this
road will pay, capital will soon be
ready to build it without any bonuses
