The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-03-26

A gentlemen from South Rock Island,
today called our attention to the amount
of the poor farm bills from his township,
which he thinks are larger than they should
be. The record of bills filed at the county
clerks office shows the expenditures from
March 1888, to the first of the present
month to be $39951. South Rock Island
is the smallest township in the county, and
this large expense for the sustaining of its
poor looks rather strange. As compar-
ison with the poor bills of South Rock Isl
and the gentleman showed US the bills of
Rural, Bowling and Edgington for the
same length of time, the aggregate of
which is not half as much as South Rock
Island, as the following will show
Rural y ~
Edgington l03 u
Total. $3.50 10
A statement from the supervisor OF
South Rock Island might be in order, and
if he can show good reason for this large
expenditure, we'll enough

NOTES.

Ed Guyer and Jim Beardsley were
prominent at the convention, and together
made strong team.
The fellow who wanted Logan and
Oglesby endorsed was promptly "set down
on" at first He was so ashamed of it
afterwards that he got up and withdrew
his resolution How sad.
Billy Johnson was present, but he
didn't get his resolution through in favor
of Hamilton. Thus has Billy's journey
from Springfield to this city, been all in
vain
At one time during the convention it
looked like there would be "ruction "
-Four amendments were offered in quick
succession. Finally some fond soul en-
bodied all the amendments, tackled them
to the original motion and they being put
to vote, carried.
1t was the general remark of everybody
that the delegates in the convention to-
day were men away above the average in
intelligence. Most OF the delegates were
business men, though now and then
could be noticed a farmer. There appeared
throughout the whole body of delegates.
to be great deal of harmony manifested
Wilcox, the Mendoza Carpenter, ad-
dressed the meeting while the delegates
were absent, engaged in selecting the dele
gates to the convention. He male good
speech, but he failed to explain the little
deficiency in his accounts of the Grand
Army of the Republic at Mendoza, and
one or two other points

There will be special services at the
EpiscOpalian and Catholic church tonight.
Tonight is the regular night for holding
the weekly prayer meetings in our
churches. We suggest to the brethren
that they unite as with one accord, and
petition the good Lord to send us good
weather and an early spring. Sometimes,
though for thelife of US we can't tell why,
we seriously doubt whether spring has
arrived or not.

The River.

The river is about the same as yester-
