What is to be done with the dogs2
There are too many in both town and
country. Worthless ours Gas they are
called and valuable animals are dogs
alike. Our town is fast becoming
overrun with them. That dread dis
ease, hydrophobia, will break out here
one of these days, and after a half
dozen innocent children or citizens
are sacrificed by this most horrible of
all known diseases, which all the
skill of the most learned physicians
and all the arts and remedies in the
materia nedtcG cannot cure or allevi.

The same question agitates the
minds of our people. Taxing them
does not seem to be the remedy, for
in our town the more we tax dogs
the more we seem to have.

given every day in the year. Its two thous-

The province OF Il newspaper is to record
facts to separate truth from falsehood
How well the Enquirer has succeeded in
this duty, we feel II pardonable pride re-
ferring to its files and past record for evil
dence oil its ability and thoroughness in
presenting all matters treated upon in
their true light.
The people OF this age require n paper
fully abreast OF the times, co.cqual In en-

will the Enquirer continue TO be. Candor
and fairness will be accorded to all ques-
tiOns and parties, but .the facts shall never
be perverted.
The Immediate Future has in store,
matters OF grave interest to all, and the
general welfare will largely depend upon
the influence OF those who are fully con-
versant with facts occurring and to occur.
The policy OF the government but partially
developed by the New Administration,
was fast winning the confidence OF the peo-
pie, when the hand OF the Assassin placed
control OF affairs in charge OF factiof

acts. What the future policy is to be, will
be foreshadowed during the first year OF

For the Granger.
MEETING OF GRANGE COUNCIL.

Mr.. Editor-As you are an advocate for
square meals, will give you an account
OF the meeting of the County Council Z.
of H., at Summit Point Grange, at White
School House, on Saturday the roth of
January. The sleighirg being so good
and there being public installation of
the officers of Summit Point Grange, pre-
yious to the meeting of Council, all had a
tendency TO bring ou;the people and they
came. The ceremony OF Inducing the
newly elected officers of Grange for one
year was performed by the Worthy Mas
ter of the State Grange who is q member
of Summit Point Grange, and is an inter-
eSting ceremony, especially in browning
Ceres. Pomona and Flora. Peter Bow
ers was installed Master. The Council
was well represented and an address of
welcome on behalf of Summit Point
Grange 10 the Council and its guests was
handsomely extended by Col. Il. W. Bay
lOr, Master of the State Grange. The in
terest of Husbandry and the pefpetuitv
of the Republic was claimed 10 be co-or-
dinate. The manifest tendency Of public
patronage is demonstrated 10 be in the in
terest of monOpolies as shown by recent
elections of [. ). Senators all over the
land; and as the Grange is the only or
ganiZed opposition TO them il now more
than ever calls upon all patriots 10 unite
with the Grange. BY vote of the Coun-
ell eX-members of our Legislature who
were present viz: Maj JAS. Law Hoof,
VIM. Ii. L. Lewis, were invited and re-
quested TO address the meeting on the sub
ject of our railroad management in our
State. The Maj. after giving some I'M
portant suggestions, intimated that If pre-
pared he would give his views, which it
is hoped lie will do at some future occa-
sion. Bro. Lewis advised the repeal Of
the two year old so-called compromise act
of the legislature whereby the railroads
gained all advantage over the people. But
Mr.. Editor, speaking of square meals, or
squaring circle; you know what was
done ut Forest Grange Hall when squared
in that circle yourself, well the Summit
Point ladies were about neck and jowl
with the Foresters. If il were possible
for any thing 10 be squarcr than right
angle I believe the Summit Pointers
could make it just little "squarer". But
Mr.. little the next meeting of Council is
To be held on the last Saturday in March,
AT Ripon Grange and the Ripon ladies
Just dare you to accept this invitation 10
besprescnt and see ffow they will square
the culinary circle. They have heard Of
your celebrity in squaring meal and de-
sire to see for themselves.
SECRETARY.
ES- We will try and be on hand,
ladies, at Ripon, and We venture the
assertion that we will eat rs square
meal as ever you stuck fork into.

TIE COUNTY COUNCIL.

Mr.. Edtor-It has been frequently
said, wonders will never cease" What
was my surprise, after reading as | had
in your paper some two weeks ago, about
the ingreSS of your holiness, into Coun-
ell meeting some twelve months ago, that
YOU rs n politician had nearly eXtinguish-
cd the order of Patrons of IIusbandry,
either because of your political views or
square meal" to see Bro. Strider drive
up to the Council meeting ut Summit
Point, on Saturday, January 10Th, with
Major Hooff in his sleigh. This lying
down of the lion and the lamb together,
one a live Granger and the other Il fiery
anti-Granger, brought 10 mind Mother
SYMPTOMS prophecy, that in 1881 the
world would come to an enc. i subsidized
and waited events. The meal was sump-
tous and highly enjoyed by all present,
including some twenty odd ladies. After
the cloths were removed Brother Stridcr
modestly read al article upon the man
agement of railroads in Illinois. The en-
tire State debt was eXtinguished by the
resources from the railroads, yet that
State still holds its right TO further con-
troll the roads. Then upon Il motion made
by Bro. Thompson, Majors Lewis and
IIootf were brought upon the floor and
each made very pertinent remarks, the
latter remarking very cmphatically that
the Grange lacked 4 party spirit, that TO
make their influence felt they should vote
for men to fill public places whose senti-
ments were in accord with the Farmers
interest if they wanted TO be benefited.
Now you can come on. Party must win.
Farmers must go together. q.

contention. The rings were Of such size
as almost to allow the rider as we'll as the
spear to pass through. Each knight was
permitted three runs, and, strange to say,
several times, the rings, getting in the
way of the lances were carried off. The
tournament is novelty here, and one
ought hot to expect an exhibition of that
Knights of Maryland and Virginia can
proudly boast. The final acts of chivalry
were deferred till night, when in the
presence of the grace and beauty of the
city and State, the Queen of Love and
Beauty, and her attendant maids OF Hon

the hands Of their gallant and victorious
knights.
Your reporter saw other sights at the Fair
