Having nearly recovered from the effects of our
Cyclone, we are now engaged in harvesting wheat
and broom corn, of which we have had a bountiful
crop. Persons who expected 500 bushels have thrash
ed 200; others in proportion, and some who sowed
none last fall have thrashed from 10 to 20 bushels
acre where the ground was neither plowed nor har
rowed. 1t is what is called volunteer wheat. Wheat
put in ground well cultivated last fall yields from 80
to 40 bushels per The crop bids fair al
though some pieces damaged by hail, and some
will be cut little short by the dry weather of the
last few weeks. Broom corn seems stand dry
weather better than most other crops Almost every
farmer has few acres, and near has 220
acres, with an average yield OF for every four
acres, and first quality is selling from $50 500
ton. requires considerable labor get ready

THE Republican State Central Com
mittee sent to the Democratic State
Central Committee a challenge for
Mr.. Newman, Democratic candidate
for Secretary of State, to meet Mr..
Townsend, Republican candidate for
the same Office, in public debate. The
Committee and Newman backed right
out. They dare not put the bloated
copperhead Newman before the peo-
pie to advocate drunkenness and Sab
bath desecration. And they have
sense enough to know what the result
would be of such debate.

THE CHURCH DEBT.

BY DEACON sLAsuER.
Dear Marth Wen never get it paid-the debt seems
mountains high,
We could not raise ten tn the sum-so what, the
use to try?
Two hundred dollars! Only think. And not A cent
in hand?
No church upon Gods blooming earth such weighty
load could stand.
What! "Raise the sum hy soeials o., No Martha
nary cent.
The means are surely sinful, though righteous the
intent
What! LET us men pay off the debt, and shun such
sinful waysP"
All, desprit hard to find is he the man who freely
What! "a Social held already, an, fifty dollars
mader"
Really, now. at that rate, the debt would soon be
paid;
But, to patronize Social is to show a sinful heart,
And If youll raise the rest without, I'll freely give
my part.
''How much money would give to set the old Church
free?"
really think that fifty cents would do right well for
What! Had another Social fifty dollars cleared ~
All, now, dear Marth, we've reached the times that
I have allus feared.
Toward the sinful, worldly ways, we're, travein by
degrees,
Whene'er we waste our money, attendn' things like
these
Hey? "Two more soclals have been held, an all the
debt is paid?"
All, Martha, of such wicked ways I've allus been
| afraid;
The Social is wicked thing-it makes the Christian
| scoff-
But, after ALL I'm really glad wRvE got the debt paid
| off!
Now when go to Church again, listen an to nod
That load Of debt will not loom up to cloud my praise
| of God.
And, while I'm opposed to Socials, purely Chris

will admit they are, times, good things to have
| around;
And If 1 cannot have all men to walk my chosen
| track,
The Lord forbid that should try to hold another
| back.
We should overlook each others faults, and try t.

If we before Fathers face may walk in Hol,

Now Martha, though these socials are fraught will

OF that two hundred dollars I've paid just TWENTY
CENTS!

The smaness of that twenty cents is solace sweet

Come, lay your hand in mine, dear Marth. well pedg

THE Democratic papers, and the
Democratic speakers, howl loudly that
the beer, whisky and Sunday questions
are not an issue. The Democrats dare
not show their true colors; yet the
matter is too plain, and thousands of
Democrats will vote for Townsend for
Secretary Of State, he being the rep
resentative of the temperance side of
the question.
Here is how one of the Dutch pa
pers of Cincinnati regards the situa-
tion:
The main purpose of the liberal
thinking element of the Republican
party to be accomplished this year is
to effect thorough defeat Of the Re-
publican party for the part they have
taken in the temperance question. It
should have tangible proof Of the fact
that as long as it degrades itself to
serve as an implement in the hands of
temperance and Sunday fanatics, it
must renounce the support Of the
free-thinking, especially the German
element. It must have proof that
that element is not willing to content
itself quietly with schemes of oppres-
sion Of personal freedom. And the
impossibi1ity should be proven it of
succeeding in this State without the
support of the free-thinking and Of
the German element. In order to ac-
complish this, there is no way open to
the liberal Republicans except by CIV
ing their support to the Democratic
ticket, or at least to the Democratic
nominee for State Secretary. As to
the adoption of the new platform
above mentioned, it can not be
thought of under present circum-
stances.

LAST week we had good local notice
written for Brookins, Hunsinger & Co.,
and had it on the hook where we keep the
copy for the printers, when we were no
titled that the paper was "up;" that is,
there was enough matter in type to fill
the paper. Something had to wait, and
as everybody ought to know by this time
that Brookins, Hunsinger & Co. are
among our most popular retail dealers,
we left their notice out. This by way of
apology.
Now if you want substantial goods, at
lowest cash prices, call at this store.
If you want to order coal, either for
temporary use or winter supply, call at

&c, there is your place to trade.

WILLIAM JACKSON is an Englishman,
and works in the coal mines-Or did work
in the mines-in this region. William
has wife, but recent events go to prove
that he has no business with wife-for
he is now in Jail, charged with shooting
his wife. William, while drunk, few
days ago, shot the partner of his bosom
with a revolver, the bullet entering her
breast, but not dangerously wounding
her. William claims it was accidental,
but the probability is that it was whisky.
William had an examination before May
or James on Tuesday morning, and was
bound over in the sum of 5000, in defanlt
of which bail he was remanded to Jail.

, WHEN it is shown by the record
that Mr.. Newman, the Democratic
candidate for Secretary Of State, was
a bitter foe to loyalty during the war,
that he constantly gave utterance to
the most undisguised rebel sympa-
thies, that he afterwards opposed
equal suffrage and human equality
with all his might, and that as a
member Of the Legislature he voted
consistently against proper restric-
tions of the liquor traffc,-when all
these things are shown, the only reply
the Democratic papers make is "Yes,
Mr.. Newman has always been Dem
ocrat"-Columbus Sunday Herald.

THERE was horrible catastrophe(?)
at st. Thomas Cincinnati one day last
week. A woman yelled "fre" while
there were about fifteen hundred peo-
ple-mostly children-in the church.
There was rush for the doors, every
body went wild with excitement, a boy
turned in fire alarm, and the firemen
came rushing to the scene of the con
fagration," where they busted them
selves carrying armfuls of children
into the outer air. Mothers came
running to try to save their children
and there was the widest excitement
but there was no fire. A spark
from candle at the altar had fallen
upon a bouquet of artificial flowers
and ignited them, but a clergyman
Immediately extinguished the fire, but
not before fool had succeeded in
yelling "Firer'

STEWART, MINI, Sept. 13, 1882.
Mr.. D. Mackley, Sir:
Thinking perhaps few words from
this country might be of interest, 1
write, and also send enclosed one year,
subscription to your valuable paper,
as l see by the label that my time has
expired.
We like this place splendid; but as
we have been here but about seven
months can't tell so much about it.
Crops are all that could be desired.
Farmers are threshing, and wheat av-
erages twenty bushels per acre, and
oats from forty to sixty. Corn is
good, but owing to the late spring is
little behind. Potatoes are an aver
age crop. Work is plenty, at good
wages. Stewart is a pleasant little
village Of about one hundred and fifty
inhabitants, through which the Hast
ings and Dakota r. R. runs. 1t con-
tains three stores, two saloons, a good
school house, and Catholic church
We have M. E. services every two
weeks in the school house. A good
shoemaker would do we'll here; also q
timer. Land is most all taken neal
here. Renters can do well. Mr.. M
has rented 100 acres, with everything
furnished, and gets one-half. But
enough at present. With best wishes
to yourself and family, and also to my
friends in Jackson and vicinity, am
Respectfully,
MARY L. MILLER.

IT will be remembered that double
murder was committed at Ashland,
KY, some months ago, and raging,
crazy mob, wanted to hang the father
Of one of the murdered girls. Then
these crazy saysges compelled the
Court(D to convict and sentence two
men to death, against whom there
was absolutely no legal testimony.
The case was taken to the higher
court, and now the verdict Of the crazy
mob has been set aside
There is some justice left in the
courts, even in Kentucky.

That's right. When the Cincinnati
