TIE WORTHINGT0N PAPERS,
Brot err Miller, of the Rock County
Herald, us we announced several weeks
ago, has accepted position on the
Minneapolis Evening Journal. and has
therefore severed his connection with
the Herald. In bidding Ills editorial
brethren g"od.by, he devotes a column
to the merits and dement's Of Il number
Of his exchanges, and does us the honor
the place the ADVANCE first ~ the list:
EYFAR THE ABLEsT PAPER on TIE
LIST.
Brother Miller thus speaks of the
ADVANCE:
In this next to the last review of our
exchanges. rs has been our custom here.
tUfore, we take up first the Worthiug-
ton ADVANCE. We do not admire the
ADVANCE in all respects; indeed, we
have often thought that when, eventu-
ally. Bro. Millrr'S form shall he ''pied"
and his life proof shall be read by the
great Proof reader. Bro. Miller will be
marked ''wrony font" and cast into he
''hell-hox. Nevertheless, we regard
the ADVANCE rs by far the most ably
edited paper III our list OF exchanges,
and even in the matters wherein the
ADVANCE and the herald have held
di:cortlant OPTIONS. we can hut admire
the force. perS;'ic,ity and independence
with which Bro. Miller's views have
been presented.
We have had some newspaper spats
with brother Miller, and we are glad to
see that lie can take them in Il manly
way and give the ''levil his due.' AS
t" going into that ''hell box" we admit
it :" far rs the pied form is concerned,
but as to the spirit, we think, AS Mrs.
Browning said IT Cowler being ''lost.''
that Good could separate from his own
essence rather.', If there is any God
who Can damn Il man for making Il
bold, independent fight on political
and Church corruption, and on political
sneaks and church b,gots, we want to
join some rebel army to make war on
such II being forever and ever.
But here Is what Bro. Miller says of
the Worthington Journal by way of
contrast:
IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY ANYTHING
FLATTERING.
We have never believed in the "mu-
tnAl admiration" business and. instead
OF paying meaningless compliments for
the sake Of receiving equally meaning
less :'puffs" in return. have generally
said Of our ueighbors what we thought
and what we believed to he true Guild
ed by this rule, therefore, we find it i'm.
possible to say anything tiattering of
our next nearest Meighbor, the Worth
ington Journal. Possibly the Journal
may deserve y more favorable criticism.
but if this be trne. it's merits have been
hidden in the illegible portions of the
paper which have OF late embraced the
major portion of tile sheet. We advise
tile Journal to get new roller.
THE HAY PRESS.
The hay press of uessrs. Folger &
Peabody started up on Thursday last.
The press being new and the operators
mostly new hands at the bellows, one
OF the first results was freak in some
of the machinery. This being repaired
the press went on and turned out few
tons and then me other part broke
and so OIL. Of course Mpssrs Peabody
& F"lger didn't swear. They are not
that kind of men. But internally they
probably quoted Tennyson, "Break.
break, break" and II would that
dared to utter, The thoughts that arise
in me.''
The experimental week is now over
and with few more breaks the press
will jog along at 4 regular pace and
turn out hay bales by the car load. It
has capacity Of a bale minute, work.
ed ut lightning speed, and is good for
seven to ten tons day, when going ut
moderate every day rate.
The proprietors are now advertising
for $4,000 worth Of hay, and if it can
he had, they will put out that amount
Of cash among our farmprns. This will
grease the wheels Of trade i. good deal.
help our subscribers to pay up, and
make things more cheerful. With mill
lions Of tons of grass spelling to BE-
pressed like the girls) every year, and
commanding three to. five dollars Il ton
when made into hay and laid down at
the hay press, this Paradise of Grass
will make more clear money than any
wheat growing county on the CONT
nent.
The force now at the hay press is as
follows:
Observation-Disclosures. Folger &
Peabody.
Assistants-Allan Mclean, feeder.
Austin Hovey, driver. John Brant and
| Lew Clark, wire feeders. Danl MUIR
ply and Will Firth, handlers. "
