issue favoring the bonds, which we rec
ommend to our farmer friends who can

A farmer from the southern part OF

TIC SeRbSb
has since seen the county grown to its
present greatness, remarked TO us on
Tuesday, that the trifle of tax required

the polls 10 vote against the proposition.

The Odd Fellows and their wives
and daughters had al enjoyable time
Monday evening at the hall OF No. 10.
II was the celebration of the Goth ami
versary of the order in America, and the
exercises had were appropriate and in

gramme.
To-day We issue very logical state
ment in supplementary form, from the
county commissioners concerning the
necessity for the new county buildings.

met and reasoned ont of countenance.
Such an array of argument from the au-
thorities who know whereof they speak,
should be sufficient to persuade every |
voter to stand by the measure on Tues
day next.

not even the Superintendent himself.
No amount of gush from the pen of the
Rerie,C editor will relieve Mr.. McGarry |
from the Just blame that attaches to him
in this particular.
