Last Postponement.

The Executive Committee of the Jack
son County Literary Association, upon
consultation with many friends of the
organization, in order to give the public
such an entertainment as will entirely
eclipse all former assemblies, have deter
mined to give all participating parties
the benefit of the entire winter for prac-
tice and rehearsal, and the day of the
grand entertainment is now unalterably
fixed for the second Wednesday in June,
1882. The programme heretofore pub
lished for Sept. 1st will be rendered en-
tire, and new and startling features will
be introduced. While it is true that the
world was made in six days, it is equally
true that it took three years preparation
for the great Boston Jubilee.

clamps upon the rascal, but failed, understand
because the Marshal of Greenfield in condition
to 'slop over.' Owens and Caldwell followed the

of Vernon's money out of the amount deposit for
the appearance of Harper They also succeeded in
getting back the money stolen from Mr.. Hubert at
Zaleski.
This latter haul furnished beautiful illustration of
one of the weak points in human nature The Vinton
county officers were making effort to get back
Hulbert's money, and did not seem to know it
could be done until Owens telegraphed them to bring
on some to identify the thief. After doing this
and getting the money, they promptly lit out without
even saying much as 'thankee, gentemen,' to the
Jackson officers. At least we have been informed.
Old man Hubert may thank Owens and Caldwell for
saving his five hundred dollars and if he starts
to a show with that much money again, some we'll

HARVEST TIME!
rhe reaper travels his yearly rounds

The reaper travels his yearly rounds
Through the fields of golden grain,
And the merry voice of the binder sounds
Like an answering refrain
AS the swift machine through the stubble rings,
And the binder bends DER his work and sings.
oh, sweet are the joys of the harvest-time.
When each stalk wears a golden crown,
When, in chorus the insects chime,
At eve, when the sun is down
And the cooling shadows gathering fast,
Tell us that the day is past.
Sweet is the morn, when lights the East
With the radiant lamp of day
When the echoes are Weakened by bird and beast,
AS they romp in their early play,
And the grass is wet with the heavy dew,
Like diamonds, sparkling to the view.
Sweet is the rest of the n-tide hour,
When the dinner-horn is blown;
When the workmen seek some shady bower,
Where each, in merry tone,
Tells of exploits in the sunny fields
Of former paintings and former yields.
The hou seville works with her rarest skill
In cooking the tempting meals;
The success that is wrought by woman's viii
The laden board reveals;
And the sturdy harvesters gathered there
Offer up thanks for their bounteous fare.
Like the reaper who mows the golden grain,
And gathers the bright new sheaves,
greater is travelling DER life's plain,
And wide is the 'swath'' he leaves
Reaping alike the youthful gems,
And the fully bearded and ripened stems.
Relentlessly comes this reaper strong,
In sunshine or in rain:
He ever hurries his work along,
And he cometh not in vain;
In every momentum every cline,
With him it is always harvest-time.
May showers CT Heavenly love-light fall
On this varied field of ours,
Cooling and cleansing the hearts of all,
As the rain-drops cool the flowers.
May the harvest reaped by Deaths cold hand
Be safely stored in the Better Land!

Save Your Money.

1t is to be hoped that the recent trans
actions at the show at this place will
serve as warning to those having
money not to invest it in gambling spec
ulations 1t is astonishing that men will
waste their money in this way. There
are hundreds of ways in which money
can be invested safely. 1t is only nee
essary at present for us to mention one of
these ways-that is to invest money in
clothing and Gents Furnishing Goods, at
the great store of Morris Sternberger,

ONE of the members of the Baptist
Church has called our attention to the
fact that the glass is all the time being
broken in the windows of the Church.
We do not know any way to prevent it.
Until shutters were put up, the glass in
the windows of the School House was
all the time being broken by boys. We
think it is generally done at night, by
hurting cinders through the windows. If
parents could be persuaded to keep their
boys at home after dark, it might save
much trouble and destruction of property
