what result those of you who have had
experience can guess.
Geo. Williams Is here from the west.
His praises of the country and its oppor.
tunities has turned the heads of half
Rose Creek. Geo. is succeeding finely,
and is down here after men and teams to
work on the railroad west of Ortonville
His many friends here wish him all the
prosperity possible.
There is no excitement in this vicin-
lty politically. All the excitement here
is about a certain DR.. Tanners fasting
forty days. In our opinion, to use very
common expression, that little advertis-
ing scheme is 'pretty thin" If 1t was a
veritable fast, Tanner ought to come to
this county and give US all lessons.
The tools for the new blacksmith shop
arrived last Thursday. The boys are
hard at work building shop, 20x32 feet.
1t is located across the street west of the
old shop. Let everybody come to Rose

tribute to its establishment. lie sug-

contribute one hundred dollars to-

The Party of the North.

AZ the Republicans claim that their
party is the party Of the Northern
people, it should be remembered that
out Of 4,740,651 votes cast in the
twenty Northern States at the cleo
tons of 1878, 2,252,3lO of them were
Republicans and 2,4s9,341 were op-
position, giving the opposition to the
Republican party majority of $780,
031. The Republican party was,
therefore, minority party in the
Northern States two years ago. Even
at the election of 1876 the Republ.
cans had a majority in the Northern
States of barely one per cent. With
Bavard as the Democratic nominee
in 1880, even that per cent. will be
carried 10 the minority column.

The Camden Jo"rna! says: 'Whe,h-
cr or not these shoots from an old
root will produce rs much cotton as
new plant, we cannot say but, so
far as the growth goes now, it is de-
cidedly in favor Of the "ratoon." The
Columbia Register, writing upon the
same subject, urges the Importance
of giving the subject more attention.
From a series OF experiments made
by the editor OF the Register, he
reached the conclusion",hat the plant
ing was pu ahead by ratooning not
less than four weeks" and that the
actual yield on the third ye rs shoot
from planting was at least I've fold of
The yield Of plants raised directly
from the seed" The subject is per.
laps, one deserving of some invesLi-
CATION, and as the article in question
is an interesting one, we will give it
an iscrlion i'll our next issue.
