At the Mckinley meeting last night, the
speaker-in referring to the change
promised by the Democrats, and their
congratulations to the country on the
increase in the value of property, inquired
if there was man in the audience who
had felt them. Sitting near us was Har-
barger, the Infrmary Superintendent
and we asked if he had felt the change.
Indeed I haver' was the reply, Il can
testify that the times have changed
Referring to the increase in the value OF
property, Harbarger said that he had
house in Jackson for which he could
easily get twelve dollars month. He
spent several hundred dollars getting the
house improved before the great Demo-
cratic flood of prosperity should arrive,
and then could not get ten dollars
month for it. 49,. Business is not lively
just now in town, owing to the busy
time among the farmers.

SATURDAY.-A long, heavy rain to-day
somewhat detracted from the success of
the Vega basket-meeting, but there was
a good meeting, with a fair crowd in
attendance. 1t would have been an inn
mense meeting had it not been for the
rain. .Cy. Willis is in town.

Broke a hind wheel of his buggy, and
was compelled to get other conveyance,
while his son Benson hooked rail under
the buggy and slid to town. IA mer-
chant in town tells strange story of the
popularity of some garden seeds. A Lib
erty Township farmer bought some "tur-
nip seed," and when they came up they
were Tadishes; two Franklin Township
farmers bought "turnip seed" and plant
them. One raised a good crop of greens,
while the other raised mustard. This is
not quite so bad as asking for bread and
receiving a stone, for green's are good
property, radishes are not to be sneezed
at, and even mustard poultice is good
thing in these Democratic times. 80.
