Gen. Jones N . Road SuperyisOP.
Captain Warren. OF this city. relates an
amusing anecdOte Of Gen. Geo. W. Jones,
which is worth repeating since the Gen.
eral, once United States Senator. is now
a candidate for She riff of Dubuque coun-
ty. y great many years ago. says the
Captain. General Jones was elected the
first delegate to Congress from the Terri
tory of Wisconsin. which then also EN-
braced the Territories Of Michigan and
Minnesota. The General then resided at
Sinsinawa Mound. and was not on the best
of terms with few OF his neighbors, who
were his party opponents. After serving
a term in Congress. he returned home to
find mat he was candidate, without his
or consent. for the office of
township road supervisor. 1t was put
up job to ridicule the Generals political
aspirations, and humble his pride if posi-
ble. He was. OF course, elected by an
overwhelming majority; and his enemies
and wondered if he would ac-
cept the menial office. But they did not
know their man, or rather their victim,
for he at once promptly and gracefully ac-
cepted the humble position; thanked the
people most cordially for the honor () /,
upon him. remarking at tte {
same time that he was not too top-lofty to i
serve the people in any capacity. Our ,
informant declares that the roads ::
in the vicinity OF Sinsinawa Mound were ,

General Jones is, and it is a matter of no
surprise to US to see the General, ex-Sena-
or, ex-Minister, now a candidate for the '

lot is either higher or lower than the road
way, good deal OF skill is sometimes re-
quired to produce pleasing effect, and es.
peci,lly in the latter ease; but where the
lot is higher than the roadway, it is more
easily managed. One plan is to terrace
down at the line Of the lot. sodding the ter
ace, with steps at the entrance. Another
way is to continue the level of the lot to
The edge OF the sidewalk, and then terrace
TO the curbstone. This course may be
pursued where the land is level, but when
r ling or uneven is not practicable, as the
sidewalk would have to follow the natural
rise and fall OF the land.
Nothing is more unpleasant than to see

'lwarfs the buildings. How to Obviate this
appearance is the point to be gained. The

Hon. ]. H. Stewart has been appointed
Surveyor General of Minnesota, and Ex-
Governor Austin, Register of the q. s.
Land Office at Fargo, d. I. The appoint
ment of DR.. Stewart to this important posi-
ton, is IL proper one, and in view Of the
fact Of the recent consolidation of the three
Chippewa Agencies under one Agent, and
the probable sale of the valuable tim her
lands, it certainly looks as though the
Washburn-Fletchcr pine ring had been
Chcckmated.
Fletcher, his protege Washburn, and a
few Of the minor lights of the Pine Land
Clique arc terribly wrathy and indignant
at the recent appointment of DR.. Stewart
as Surveyor General These cheruhs will
oppose his confirmation, but it is probable
they will only have their trouble for their
pains. 1t is rough on these WORTHLESS after
planning and scheming for years, and just
aS the prize Was within their clutches to
1nd that their whole game was blocked
Doctor Stewart will transact the duties of
his office honorably and impartially, but
should he have an opportunity to pay back
the aforesaid clique in their own coin, no
one would blame him if he did So What

En-. EAGLE This is about - busy :
season Is we ever had the opportunity
of seeing in this community. There arc
several parties who are busy in setting
out their trees, quite large per cent. OF
which is fruit. And most any direction
we can see teams preparing ground eli
Their for oats or corn.
We see very frequently some land
seekers among US, and occasionally the
land changes hands. Mr.. Il. j. Smith
sold his quarter section of land for $500
MIR. W. &. Shaw sold his quarter Of land
for $l,O50, to Mr.. Daniel Mcpherson,
late of Ohio. We consider that those
places are sold dirt cheap, considering
the work done on either place.
Most of the wheat looks well, but we
are needing good rain.
Among the latest arrivals we met OF
late are Mr.. Rob. Carr, Of SOmOnouck,
Illinois. brother Of Mrs. Lou DObbin.
We extend you hearty welcome in our
midst Robert, but you must not take
Jenny with you when you go back, at
ter your visit is out among Us, for we
can assure You Francis will feel kind OF
bad.
Rev. John McRea, late of Atcsco. In
diana, has also arrived here, to take
charge Of the Reunited Presbyterian
Church in this place. He will deliver
his first discourse next Sunday at the
school house, and if we may judge from
the outward appearance and converse
ton of the man, We congratulate our
Presbyterian brethren in obtaining him
as their minister. His time will be par
tally employed in Sumner county. He
has not decided yet where he will locate
either in Sumner or with us, but We
have plenty of room we can assure you
for him and his.
Mr.. W. B. Graham and family were
bereft this morning of their infant son
md brother. Funeral to take place to-
morrow at 10 a. m. Rev. j. S. Turn
bull is to conduct the services. The be-
reft family have our sympathy.
Mr.J. II. Graham has music class at
the school house, and we frequently
hear members Of the class express them
selves by saying: we learn more from
J. r. than we learned from anybody
else. And we fail to see why it should
DC otherwise, for he is doing his work
well.
We have organized in Levy conpa-

ships. We don't see why we could not
