wagon IOauS OF corn are begin
ming to appear on our streets and we
ventura to say that almost everybody
is surprised to see how much better
it is than they expected to see. The
fact is that we expected 10 Oming
crop THO year; looked for an eXtrava-
CANT yield; we allowed our hopes to
run away with US, and when the dry
weather came and prospects looked
little blue, our feelings dropped down
to forty degrees below zero and con-
gealed. We straightway prophesied
that the corn crop was q total failure
and all that. Events prove, however,
that neither view of the case was cor
erect; part of the country have a good
crop, parts only average, and still
other parts poor. But, on the whole
we will have an abundance of corn,
and if that which is already brought
into market is any indication, the
quality will be good enough for any
body. Smith county is not bankrupt
yet by long shot.-Snaith County Re

Record sets fourth the condition of
things in Phillips as correctly as

Our various candidates are all busy
now days looking after. their interests,
and things are warming up politically.
Some of the boys were in the HERALD
Office Tuesday seeking still further to
stir up the tigers by getting some Of their
private grievances before the people,
with view to their effect upon the com
ing contest. We nust say we are sorry
that any of our candidates had not acted
on the HERALD's advice and had them
selves in training for longer time. It
would have saved trouble, but as the
cases referred to are not such as to more
than raise question of honor in private
business, and not effecting public in
terests, we do not feel called upon to
allow the HERALD to enter into the dis
cussion of them at the present time, and
we hope our friends will excuse Us.
The G.. B. anti, Monopoly party
nominated full ticket at their conven
ZION last Saturday except county attor-
ney, which is as follows: Representa-
tive, Charles Turner; Probate Judge,
John Finch, Clerk of the District Court,
- Palmer; Supt. Pub. Inss., j. M.
1Sal!ee; Commissioner I'd Dis. J. II. Close.
Charles Turner is a farmer of Plum
township. and should he make politics
as much Of a success as he has farming,
he would not disgrace the county. The
candidates for Clerk and Probate Judge
are strangers to us. j NJ. Sallee lives
in this township and is pleasant gen
tleman. J. H Close is the village
blacksmith and everybody knows where
to find him.
This week the official career of our
worthy County Treasurer closes as
such, and we venture to say that few,
if any, public officers ever laid off the
official garb with clearer record than
that of Frank Strain. His successor,
D. L. Smith, has been busy preparing for
his induction into the Office, and we
have full faith In Dan making a worthy
officer. Long life and success to you
both is the wish Of the HERALD.
The trustees of the First Baptist
Church of Phillipsburg have decided

time, 10 per cent interest, approved note.

z1st, 1882, at 2 o'clock p. m,
