Now my opinion is that if they should run and elect a man to the legislature, he the mem ber) will be just like notch on a stick, count one, and that will be all. The B. of F. have enough to do with out going blindly into politics, Flow deep while others run politics, and stay out of debt, and lets have q regular democratic primary and nominate good men. Let them come out of the B. of F. or not, but lei them be good and true democrats And last. but not least, shun that hot-headed Atkins Reflector, but subscribe for and read the Russell vile DEMOCRAT.

for parallel drains thirty.six feet
apart, two thirds of a tablespoonful
OF water per minute at each joint will
remove an inch rainfall In twenty.
four hours. This Ia as rapidly as it
is best to drain any land, and for this
rate the tiles may be placed close to-
eetber. A drain is often ruined by
leaving open joints with the belief
that the water will enter more readily
