Six dogs were poisoned the other
night in Window. This is not just the
way o enforce Il dog ordinance, but we
suppose the people were driven to it in
self defence.
Thanks to Capt. Heath of Philadel-
phia, once resilient of this county, for
late Philadelphia papers. We notice
that Col. Forney has taken the stump
for Hancock.
The Journal of last week leans the
other way. That is, at first it leaned
Dunnell- ward, while last week it lean
ed Warl-ward. We should not he sur
prised to see it come out this week flat
footed for Ward.
Wish all our correspondents would
send us such crop items as our friend
Simmons does from Westsjde. Father
Simmons is not newspaper man but
he is just ''boss" in always sending ex-
actly the kind of items we want.
Minnesota must he what the boys
used to Call Goods country.' For
three or four weeks the weather has
been superb for harvesting and the
beauty of it is that there has been, day
and night, a cool breeze going, so that
no day has been excessively hot. There
are indications now, however, of some
hot weather for the next few weeks.
We have received the usual annual
complimentary ticket to the State Fair
which will be held this YER at Ro-
chester beginning Aug. 50 and ending
Sept. 4. We hope Mobiles county will
send her best specimens of agricultural
and human products.
The prairie chicken season opened on
Monday and piles Of slaughtered birds
may be seen at the depot each evening
awaiting shipment to the cities. Think
ing this matter over, it occurs to us
that we are Il set of fools. We protect
the chickens until the middle of Au-
gust and then sportsmen come down up
on us and slaughter and ship the birds
to the cities at s. so i dozen. The
game laws of the State are made MAIN
ly in the interest of city sportsmen for
whom we raise tie chickens and hold
the bag. OF course these remarks APP
ply only to those who make u business
Of it.
Messrs. Edholm and Pagett, the Chi
cago Tribune correspondents, have
written letter to Gov. Miller saying
that if the Worthington newspapers
were financially responsible they would
prosecute. This reminds us of what
Rohrer's boy said about the ADVANCE
in a recent issue of the Journal.
Their defence contains so many mis-.
statements that we need not reply
Either their letter is false, or they made
false statements while here. Thus.
they say in their letter that they got on
ly about 500 in Worthington. At Lu-
verne they boosted that they got $3.50
here. In their letter they say they are
working on commission and are out
of pocket by coming here. While here
they said they were on a salary and
could afford to take plenty of time
We repeat that they deceived our bust
ness men by writing out and reading to
them extended puffs and then merely
mentioned their names and business in
the Tribune and that they induced lib
eral subscriptions from several parties
by false statements concerning the sub
scriptions Of others.
MINOR ARRIVALS
At the residence of ThOs. Griffin, IN
Worthington, on Thursday night last a
boy.
At the residence Of A. Hovey, in Sum-
NIT Lake, on the 7th, a 10Th girl.
THE HARVEST
The harvest is about all cut excepting
flax, but much of it remains to be gath
cred and stacked. There was some rain
Sunday and Monday but not enough to
do any damage or to interfere material
ly with work. On the whole, We think
it safe to say that we have nearly roun-
ded the cape and have for once a good
crop. Wheat and oats are not extraor-
binary, but taking the county over will
average we'll. Corn and flax are unu-
sually good.
We desire especially to impress upon
outsiders the fact that Mobiles county
has good though not big crop this
year. Here and there, the crop of some
one farmer is u comparative failure,
while others who. have fair crops will
not own it because of their debts or
something of that sort, but in the main
farmers inform us that the crop is good.
1t will be lively in the First District.
There will be four candidates i'll the
field, two Republican, one Democratic
and one Greenhack. Such a breaking
up and such contempt for old party
lines and party discipline we haye not
seen since 1860.
