Range, on the west side OF the San joaquin river,
good at this time, and exceptionally go in the
northern portion Of the county, on the east side Of

wheat will not suffer materially for moisture for the

that time will insure good harvest The area in

prices are stimulating tie export of wheat
Corn was stronger to-day though dull. The

The Bull Dog "0rates. !"

FELLOW CITIZENS:
As we meet to commemorate the anniversary 81
American Independence, it is fitting that we should
briefly outline a portion of many improvements
which have enefFected and perfected since ''the
days of Seventy-six'' Could we then have visited
the entire inhabited portion Of the embryo Repub
lie, we could not have obtained dimes worth of
Bull Dog in the continental country.
To-day we find the Bull Dog at every store in
city, town and country. In the morning the mer-
chant telegraphs or telephones his order for Bull
Dog and at evening receives it by lightning ex-
press In those early days, the Bull Dog Tobar-
co. telegraph, and telephone were alike unknow n
The Bull Dog is the outgrowth Of the American
idea of making the best and using the best of
everything, as American Independe nee asserts it
self in the determination to obtain he best here
ever made, at whatever cost.
To-day, we re d In the daily press the National
events of yesterday and the latest Bull Dog adver
tisements. The people of other countries visit
us and taste for the first time the Bull Dog Tobac
co, after visiting the hundred points of interest
here, they return, bearing with them samples Of
Bull Dog Tobacco that their friends may test the
favorite chew of Uncle Sam. Thus, people of for
eign lands learn that America produces luxuries
they knew not of, and as Bull Dogs fame extends
through the Old world, we cannot wonder that q
constant tide of immigration sweeps to our shores
thousands who desire to dwell in the ''land of the
free,' where Bill Dog is ever to be obtained of

The Clionian Club.

The evening which the Clionian devoted to
the discussion of Shakespeare passed very
pleasantly indeed. As the English language
has been nearly exhausted in praising Shak-
speare and his dramas, it would hardly be
possible to say anything new. His own
words remind us that
''To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper light
To seek the beauteOus eye Of heaven to gar
nish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess"
Many more evenings might be profitably
spent on this topic, but it was thought best
to continue our course of history.
The programme for April 80 will be as fol-
lows: The reign Of Charles the First, Mrs. ID.
A. Greason; the trial and execution of Charles

knows as well as he knows anything that the
Front street saloon keepers sell whiskey on
Sunday, and have for seven years-long be-
fore the gentleman on Second street came
here. He also knows that the Front street
saloons have become such q nuisance that Il
lady cannot travel Front street on Sunday
without being insl1lted. This he knows as
WE'LL the writer of this article. We thought
that your itemizer had laid down the pen of
prejudice and become an impartial writer,
but we see, with regret mingled with COM
miseration, the spirit of malice which char
acterizes the man of prejudice; he Is deficient
of the excellent qualities of mind and heart
that the correspondent possesses. l wonder
If he has ever reflected on the astonishing
effect of prejudice? If he has not / will in
form him that it is calculated to enslaye the
body, mind and soul of man. / cannot
view these feelings of malice but with the
sincereSt feelings of compassion, when it
would be so easy for him by Il little candid
inquiry to overcome the prejudice of habit.
| hope this item, If examined dispass1onate-
ly and medtated on with candOr, will prove
amply sufficient to induce every candid man
when he writes for newspaper to write inn
partially. All that Is needed to test Il mans
sincerity Is to place before him those first
principles which, like the sun in heaven, are
evident by their own light. For him who
closes his own eyes against such evidence
whole libraries of controversial works would
prove insufficient. If Mr.. Steffens and the
Front street barkeepers sell whiskey fifty
one Sundays in year and then close up on
the tifty-second Sunday, just as the Honora-
BILE Circuit Court of Iron county sets, and
then try to lay the blame on somebody on
Second street, why hardly think it is fair.
If a man lives in q glass house he must not
throw stones. l would ask Mr.. Steffens and
the other barkeepers on Front street if they
mean to make war on the gentleman on Sec
ond street. If they do they may find out
that he has more friends than they are aware
of. Yours respectfully,
SINBAD THE SAILOR.

Ed Register-That we need good graded

families i'm the midst of us who must send
their children the coming year to an advance
ed ScheOi- There are also many families who
would prefer coming here on account of the
healthfUlneSs and the noted scenery of the
Arcadia Valley. Then why not keep all the
money spent in sending the children to grad
ed schools here, to benefit our own people
and enrich our own town: There are two
ways to accomplish this-to start an indie
pendent college, or 10 grade our public
school. The latter is the p:oSt feasible. We
all knew the finances of the school fund will
not permit the required outlay for such IA
school; and it therefore remains to the liher-
ality of our citizens to accomplish this work.
1t would be but trif]e of an outlay to each
family il we wifi work together. am sure
that Pilot Knob, lroutOn and Arcadia can
easily support good school. Let us have a
meeting, and discuss the question ut issue

we can accomplish this object. The Valley

Does Farming Pay in Southeast
Missouri?

One solid fact is worth a bushel of specu
lation. We have at hand one very solid
fact, namely, that the nett proceeds of the
farm of the Iron Mountain Company for the
wear lust closed are $40, 1860. The balance
sheet shows that fact, and how it came to be
Il fact. 1t stands out ut the close of Mr..
Henry EidSon's SUPPLEMENTARY of the farm,
and furnishes food for serious study. 1t is
true that Mr.. Edison had abundant means at
his disposal, but the grand result was also
largely due to his unfaltering devotion to his
duty for seventeen years, during which he
had thoroughly mastered every detail and
reduced the whole thing to Il complete sys-
tenn. 1t is true that the company has Il large
scope of fine farming land, but it Is no better
than much that is in smaller bodies in pri-
vate hands. 1t is true that q man who can
conduct such a farm can govern Il State sue
eessfuliy. The secret of the noble result lay
in the fact that Mr.. Edison understood his
business and attended to it, and justly stands
in the first rank Of business men.
Last week Col. McGehce, of Arcadia,
brought some very good sheep into this
neghborhood His sales were few, owing
largely to the price asked, and to the fact
that there are many good sheep here al
ready. The sheep would have sold more on
their real merits if they had been sheared.
Farmers object to paying so high for lard
oil. The Colonel does not understand sheep
well enough to talk wool; he was born too
far south.
The farmers are busy blowing their ground
and planting their corn. Some of them are
blowing up part of their wheat ground and
are planting it in corn.
We have had good rains. &C.
