Card.

To the Editor of the Courier
I notice all article in the Hope Pio-
neer of August 1, 1854, entitled the
..County's Fnances,' in which the fol-
lowing statement is made: Exception
has been made by some parties to the
amount allowed by the county commits
sioners for transcribing the records from
Trail and Griggs, and one or two have
gone so far as to declare that these re-
cords were not essential. Have these
gentlemen ever stopped to consider that
the autonomy of Steele county would
not to-day have been complete without
these records? How many of those who
are caviling at the action of the COM
missioners, are aware of, or have taken
the trouble to ascertain the cash outlay
that these records representa- How
many Of these gentlemen are aware
that nearly 81 500 of the $1,000 was paid
to officials of Yraill and Grlggs for COM
pairing and certifying, and to the parties
who did the work of copying?'
| wish to correct this statement so far
as Griggs county is concerned. 1t is a
| fact that the records OF Steele county
which were Transcribed from Griggs
were never Ger rtified to by any official Of
Griggs county, authorized by law to do
so, and no fee or compensation was
ever paid to any of said officials fol
work connected with the transcription
of said records.

visit. According to the old mans
story, about a year ago ''he wanted to
put ON style,'' and SO left the old man
and accepted a situation down in st.
Paul as salesman in retail liquor store.
When he arrived last week he was
different boy. The homespun was all
out of him. He spolted low cut vest,
tight pants, a waxed mustache, an
oreide chain and a seven dollar watch,
with a diamond in his shirt front that
made the sun look muddy. He had
with him a pointer dog, a shot gum. a
shooting jacket, all the slang of the day,
and hearty appetite for old Iyc. He
came up to rusticate with the old folks
and sbag" a few chickens. He went out
shooting with the old man the first day
and gave him all the necessary instruc-
tions about shooting lover the dog"
not shooting bird sitting, and all that
sort of thing, which was very much
needed by old Jim, who was accustomed
to hunt for the pot without regard to the

what that dog was for, any how. / told

for company, as he seemed to have out

my way and he would gohis'n; SO tried
to please him, and shot over that dog,
and under the dog, and all around the

He didn't say. He jest fit me, and

back to Gods country, for the family

Sure enough, the king snake vent in, but soon bounded out and struck bee line for d little hill hard by. h fe~ minutes he returned and had two other king snakes with him.
