Your humble correspondent was so fortunate
yet-ss to be present at greenback meeting
held al the Bell school house, on Tuesday
evening" the 23d OF Sept, and under the leader
ship of Messrs. Smith of the National Inde-
pendent, and Jarvis. OF Burns boot and shoe
shop. Your humble servant having a very
tender conscience, could not forbear placing
before the people few Of the noble truths
that we're there set forth, and swallowed by
the few faithful greenbackers that were pres
ent. The meeting was opened by the Editor
who talked a few minutes on what l suppose
through sort Of bur'esque of organizing
greenback c1b: after that wa. settled to his
satisfaction, he proceeded to tell yarn. that
staggered US all. He said, to load teams with
ton Of gold to each load, and place them
three rods a part 1t would take a string OF
teams forty-five miles long to draw gold enough
to pay the interest on the national debt. and
furthermore 5; id he could give the figures for
it too. We did not ask him for his figures, but
straightway proceeded to figure for ourselves,
calling gold worth ZIG per ounce Git is worth
ntad
:2,16O000, 10000; il this he the interest what
can the principal be? There must be some
thing wrong. Either Mr.. Smith isn't good in
fgures, or else he thought he had struck a
crowd that wasn't, and could tell just what he
was mind to and they would believe it. But
to pass on to the rest Of his speech, we soon
found out it was not to bring sinners into the
greenback fold, that he came 30 far to see u 3.
but to get subscribers for his paper. He yery
kindly gave Us his terms and invited us all ND
TO subscribe. Then after his mind was fully
relieved on this subject, he sat down. and gave
Mr.. JARVIS a chance. Not being short hand
reporter we were only able to get little OF his
address, but as a specimen Of his able argu-
men,s We remembered this: He SAID there
was no need OF the government coming out in
debt in the late war. Why, says he, they could
have gone to work and issued greenbacks and
paid the debt all mp in little while. After he
had talked for while, and shot all around the
question without hitting it, his attention was
attracted by an unbeliever asking question
which he proceeded to answer, and forgot he
was making speech, the meeting then broke
up aud l came away a ssdder but not great
deal wiser man. As my time is rather limited,
will leave the rest of the news till next week.

Snow Il Sons two OF the s. Gale pattern, aud
one "Ollver Chill" The committee made the
following scale OF points on which Judgment
should be rendered:
Flrst-Striking out the land.
Second turning the back furrow.
Third niformity OF depth OF furrow.
Fourth-Cuttng and cleaning bottom OF
furrow.
Fifth-Covering vegetation.
Sixth-FInishiny land.

The contestants were instructed that the
points read to them would determine the re-
suit. No limit was given IS to the time OF fur
nishing the allotment Of each, but reasonable
dispatch would be expected. The committee
had decided that the maximum OF marks on
each point should be three and the minimum,
one,- that is, should plowman make . per-
feet furrow, the figure three should be set 10
his credit opposite the first point; IL passabiy

marks and Gale pillow, took third premium
with a lesser number for the unsuccessful

There were two entries in the class OF boys
