j. Proctor Knott fs thus described
by the Chicago Tribune He Is a
man below medium hight, with a
strongly-knit frame, substantial legs,
and indicates decision OF character by
every movement. When he speaks
he cuts off his sentences abruptly be-
hind his grey mustache, and leaves an
impression on those he converses
with that his ultimatum cannot be
varied from or changed"

The Lime City Ne,Us, the only
Greenback paper Of any consequence
in this part OF the State, thinks
"Brick" Pomeroy's convention, called
for the 4th OF March, is entirely pre-
mature, aud that those who follow
out the purpose advertised will surely
act unwisely. We are surprised that
a man OF as much sense as Cutshall
should expect Greenbackers to act
wisely In regard to politics.

The city Of Memphis, or rather the
people OF that city, 1t would seem
jumped out Of the frying pan into
the fire" by dissolving their city char
ter. 1t is said, that by the principles
OF common law the property Of each
individual now becomes responsible
for debts contracted by the city in its
corporate capacity, which was not the
case so long as it retained its charter.
Memphis will probably find that hon.

MORRIS, MINI. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 10. 1879.

From the hints thrown cut by our Glen
wood correspondent, in our last issue, and
from advices from other sources, we learn
that some parties in Pope county are re-
sorting to the dog in the manger" policy
in regard 10 the proposed route of the Lit.
tie Falls i Dakota r. r The line is 10
Gated a little north OF the center of that
county, and hence interested parties in the
sOutn tier oil towns are disposed to place
every obstacle in the way They will
either have whole loaf or else starve.
Now, there is no reason why a brahch
could not be run from Glenwood to Chip
pewa Falls, and there is no reason why
said uranch could not be made to pay, and
II the parties who are fighting tins matter
would stand out of their own light, they
would SEE that by opposing this scheme
they are injuring themselves. First Of all
there is strong opposition to amy cross
road being built The ST. T. & backed
by both St. Paul aud Minneapolis Will
work against it Second, If the north part
OF the county don't get it, you may rest as
sured the south PORTION will not. Third,
delay in this matter is only setting your
who.e county backward, not for short
time, but for years, and procrastination in
this matter, ut Il tlmeswhe 50 many differ
ent lines are projected, may have an infiu
ence TO leave you out in the cold entirely.

Elsewhere, we give decision by Secre-
tary Schurz, which is of great importance
to Homestead settlers. 1t requires that set
tiers under the homestead law, live up to
the requirements of said law, and gives
those who do not do so, to understand that
while the law is liberal in its provisions,
yet where party has failed to comply
with its requirements there is no altcrna
tive for the executive officer charged with
the administration of the law, but that OF
enforcing it. Hence parties who are alb
sent from their homesteads are, in the
event of contest, liable TO loose them.
