method would be a decided turn of
the tables, and probably more com
pletely than many would approve of,
yet we have often thought in con-
temptation of this limitation ques-
ton, that a law more protective to
the generous and accommodating
creditor should be made. Another
exchange in referring to the subject
voices our sentiments 10y saying:
"When we think of all these eXemp-
tons and debtors privileges under
the garnishment laws, it would seem
that a debtor can be tolerably well
off, owe lots of money, and the cred
itor is powerless to enforce his
rights. Such laws have too much
Of an &c parte look at them, If
sympathy for the unfortunate debtor
is right, then justice to the unfortu-
nate creditor is right too"

ANOTHER illustration Of the willy
means used by agents to entrap un
suspecting farmers and dispose of
machines, was exhibited near this
city recently. Some time ago an
alleged agent Of feed-mill firm,
visited the farm Of Mr.. Jacob Wen
eel, living some miles east of town,
and endeavored TO sell him mill.
Failing in his first endeavor the
agent changed his tactics and then
wanted to place one on his farm on
exhibition. To this Wenzel CON
sented and, as our informant stated,
was induced to sign a paper alleged
10 contain a stipulation to that effect.
Recently Mr.W enzel received notice
of the shipment of the mill, together
with a bill Of one hundred and fifty
dollars for the same. The game,
however, did not work with any de.
gree Of success, for the shippers
were promptly informed BY the farm
er that he had purchased no feed
mill, and did not propose to pay for
any. At last accounts the mill rest
ed under cover Of the depc. roof,
awaiting solution Of the dilemma.
Farmers cannot be too careful in
regard to signing papers for strang-
ers. Before they indulge in any
of that kind they would
do better to take time and legal ad-
vice. Many an entanglement hard
to escape from would have been
avoided if such a course had been
followed in the first instance.-Lan.

Az exchange thinks that it should

A FARCE The fftyyard foot
race planned for yesterday between
young Mark Terrill and Eve. Rowe,
created no little excitement among
the young sports. After consider
able parleying it was agreed to start
by pistol report, and herein we think
lies the nucleus of the farcical result
Rowe failed to connect on the word
ready" instantly before the pistol
was discharged, while Terrill trotted
on and came out fifty yards ahead,
his adversary not leaving the score
line. 1t was decided in favor Of
Markie, but the public is still ignor-
ant as to which is the fastest runner,
and feel disgusted for taking the
trouble to see nothing. Much diff
ference Of opinion prevails as to
where the blame rests. Marks
hackers claim the start was all right,
while Rowe and those who were
backing him claim that Mark struck
out at the word "ready" instead Of
waiting for the report, and thereon
hold that it was a false start. Call
it off, boys, shake hands, and draw
your money, and when time calms
The excitement you will most likely
regard it as the best thing that
could be done under the circum.
stances.

A COMPLIMENTARY to the state

The celebrated Cornet Band, Of
Monroe, will furnish music for the
Mineral Point Fair. Why is it this
city always has better fair, better
music, better races, better everything
than any Of the adjoining associa-
tions? Answer: Because they pay
out their money, freely, for attrac-
tions that the people want to see,
offer good premiums, etc.; and this
"bread cast upon the waters" and
thoroughly advertised, returns to
them in a few Darlington

HARVESTING proper, is thing of
the past as far as 1883 is concerned.
The weather proved all that could
be desired for the saving and safety
of the grain. Taking an average Of
the different cereals the yield is
somewhat better than for many
years. Threshing, in accordance
with modern custom, follows imme-
diately, and hence the husbandmen
will still be busy for some time to
come.
