WAS in town Tuesday with some yery
fine samples OF wheat, raised on his
farm this year. Among the lot was a
bunch of bearded wheat that grew

with very large kernels.
A very exciting and interesting
game of base ball was played at Vern.

The County Court, at the Janu-
ary Term, appointed Turnpike
Commissioners under the Act of the
Legislature, approved Mach 9th,
1883. The object of this appoint
ment was to encourage public
spirited individuals in the County
to subscribe stock for the building
of free trrnpikes in the County,
knowing that their subscriptions
would be placed in competent
hands and carefully used by sworn
officers Of the County the Court
not feeling that they were warrant
ed, under existing circumstances,
to levy turnpike tax.
The Board Of Commissioners are,
SILL. Greer, Esq, Chairman of the
Court and er oNcio Chairman OF
the Board, w. Y.C Hannum and
A. J. Neff. Said Board will organ
ize within ten days and elect ono
of the last two named gentlemen
Secretary of the Board and Super.
visor of the work to be done by
them, take the prescribed oath,
give the required bond, and enter
upon the duries OF their offices.
Now, how many neighborhoods
will start subscriptions for the pur-
pose of building u, " or mile Of
turnpike upon any certain road, be.
ginning at a given point and ending
at a certain point, the work to be
done under the supervision of our
Turnpike Commission.
To encourage these efforts the
writer proposes to give 5000 tc
that community in the County that
secures the largest subscribed bona
fide stock to build any given length
of turnpike on any designated road
by the LIST day of March, 1885.
Realizing the importance Of GOOD
roads tn any community, and es
pecially to the agricultural, miner
al and commercial interests of this
County, l shall ever work for mac
adamized roads in our grand ole
County. w. H. HENRY.

there ever a law that everybody
liked? 1 have talked with many
that like it that have tried it. Now
/ think that an allwise Creator has
made our country equally as good
as any other. While we do admit
that the Western States far excels
ours in rich productive soils, it is
made up to US in good timber in
abundance, good water, short and
mild winters. WE'LL if we are COM
PEELED to keep miles of fences
around the outside of our farms, as
we have been doing, another half
century our fine timbers will all be
destroyed; and as our timber lands
are cleared our water courses dry
up, our winters get longer and cold
er, wind storms more frequent and
severe, and l believe it is a given up
fact that drOuths are more com.
mon where there Is no timber I
ask is it not wise and prudent that
we should save our timber? We
ought to have begun sooner; and
beside all this we would save a vast
amount of hard labor, making, haul
ing, building up rails. Where our
fence corners grows briars and
filthy weeds we could cultivate and
raise grain; and more, We would
improve our stock much faster
Those who pay large sums o.
money for the best breeds Of stock
are defeated in keeping up theil
. stock to a high grade. We have
: been attempting to grade our st0cf
: up in this vicinity, and we grade
I down Just about as fast as We
grade up. Now, if 1 am wrong

NO TEARS.

'ENo tears to weepl" And wherefore not?
Say is thy sorrow such?
And has thy heart nc tender spot
That sympathy may touch?
Can no kind word unlock the springs,
And give thy tears their flow?
Are human woes such selfish things
That none their depths may know?
'eNo tears to weep" Nay, speak not thus,
For tears can bring relief,
And God has sent them unto US
To wash away our grief,
When earthly sorrow, pain and care
Our souls in sadness steep,
We pray to him who heareth prayer
To send US tears to weep.
"Tis true the world is sometimes dark
With gloomy clouds that rise,
and trembling Hope, with waning spark,
Fades family out-and dies!
But when some heavenly vision fair
Steals DER us in our sleep,
We wake with JOY to feel that there
There are no tears to weep.

The Chicago Tribune says that q con-
signment of corn was received In that
city one day last week from q point in
Nebraska which sold at a price which
yielded the shipper lot cents per bushel
after deducting the freight rates. III
the cost OF handling and the shippers
profit be subtracted from that price it is
not likely that the farmer received more
than nine cents q bushel. For this
amount he was obliged to haul his corn
to the railway, probably a distance Of 8
or ten miles, perhaps oyer bad roads.
He could not have taken more than
forty bushelsto q twoshorse wagon-load
which would yield him So 90, out Of
which he must deduct the wages Of one
man, the support Of two horses, and
the wear and tear for . whole days work.
The price he received for his corn could
scarcely have covered the cost Of haul
ing il to the market. This Is q strong
illustration Of the prevailing low pricet
for corn. though perhaps somewhat ex-
ceptional. and also of the tremendous
fuctuatlon in corn, which only . few
months ago sold in Chicago for one dol
lar q bushel, during q celebrated corner
in the article.
