engaged now in re-valuing and re-
assessing the real estate of this AS
sessment district. he having been
appointed in place of the editor of
this paper, who some time since re-

are good men, and any of whom we
would have been glad to have seen
appointed. We are only sorry all of

Tue boys of the Cadet Corps are
just discovering what a glorious
thing it is to wear brass buttons for
their country. Two or three Of them
were overcome by the heat on last
Saturday morning, aud compelled to
fail out of ranks. We don't suppose
our friends from the country know
how much inconyience their request
to have the time Of the military dis
play changed from the evening to the
heat of afternoon, causes those who
have the display to make. However.
the boys are patriotic and will do
their best TO overcome the disad want
ages, under which they labor.
HUcKsTER WAGONS has been
estimated that there are twenty-five
buck ster wagons running in this
county. 1t costs about four dollars
per day to run conveyance Of the
nature of huckster wagon. 25x4
loo. One hundred dollars per day
for all of them. 100x360-36, 900.
$1,000 per year. Call it $4,000,
throwing off for Sundays and odd
days. $4,000 dollars per year for
our huckster wagons. Who pays for
them; the produce dealers? No; for
they buy produce at prices low
nough to enable them to run these
wagons The people who raise this
produce and nobody else, are the
ones who pay this enormous expen-
diture. Had we railroad we would
have a market for our produce at
home, without paying $4,000 a year
to have it hanled away. What far
mer, then, can afford to vote against
the railroad Certainly $4,000 per
annum is no small matter, especially
coming as it does directly from the,I
pockets of the hardest working people
of the county. Farmers, look to
your own interest, and vote for the
subscription.
The TOURNAMENT. = Commence
ment week this year promises to be |
the mostinteresting and entertaining
one ia the history Of the University. 1
The programme for each day affords
us great pleasure in its contempla-
tion, but of all the many pleasures
in store for us, we look forward to
none with more Impotence and with
greater expectation than the tourna-
ment, which is to take place at the
Fair Grounds on Wednesday at 2
o'clock p. m. The gallant Knights,
mounted on fiery steeds, arrayed in
the gaudy and glittering costumes
which were worn in the days of an-
cient chivalry, and which have
in those good old times, been
worn with honor through many
a vigorously contested struggle for
victory between determined and I'M
Knights, whose honor and
whose all was at stake. These cos
tunes have for many long year
been carefully slowed away in some
