SANS CREEK ITEMS.

Our good roads are about over for while
to come. Mr.. Ground Hogs prophecy was
literally fulfilled this time, consequently the
wheat in our section is not looking as well as
it did in the winter.
Many farmers are now sowing cloverseed
p j. Bennett has rented his home farm
and sold his stock and farming implements to

A Tolerant Postmaster.

Mr.. 1. Parker Veazey, postmaster OF Balti-
more, is gentleman of much tolerance.
When an unofficial body, known as the Civil
Service Reform Association, wrote him con-
corning his appointments, and inclosing
charges of violation of the civil-service law
made by discharged employees, he took the
trouble to explain every appointment and to
furnish til e Association with complete list
of all appointments made that were considered
without the provisions of the civil-service law.
Most men would have ignored the letter en-
tjre.y, Or inclosed it back to the Association,
with the endorsement that he neither held ap-
pointment from nor was responsible to the
Association, and did not feel it incumbent
upon himself to answer inquiries that ema'
mated from such body, and that were more
impairment than important.
If the Association find anything in the con-
duct of the postoffice, the Postofice Depart
ment is the proper place to apply for redress
or correction A little snubbing might be
beneficial to Civii-Service Reform Associa'
tions-association of theorists, whose prin'
cipal business is to find fault and NEEDLE with
other peoples business.

Correspondence of the Democratic Advocate.
ORANGE LAKE, March IA, 1881

ORANGE LAKE, March IA, 1886.
MgssBs. EDIToRs 1T has been so long
since | wrote you that have forgotten all the
news that may have happened in the mean
time; but may say that one Of Carroll's cit.
liens, j. I. Harden, of Louisville, has paid
us a visit, and he seemed very much pleased
with our country here and spoke of locating.
He says this section is the best that he has
seen anywhere south. He wanted to see an
alligator, real live one, so got him into a
boat and carried him out on the lake. We
saw fifteen or twenty of them in few hours,
some very large ones. When we pulled up
little closer than usual TO one, he thought we
had better move Of, as be might upset us.
We are now having a storeho4se hpilt here,
at Mcintosh and hope in the near future 70
have posto5ice. We have depot nov.
This spring has been very backward here,
and now it is cold. It has been Geld all
winter for Florida, and whenever you would
have blizzard we would get direct dispatch
in the shape Of cold wave, We had slight
frost last week, which killed the beans in
some places. The truckers have had on IN
usually rough time of it, as the cold and wet
weather has caused much of the seed to rot
in the ground. We ought to be shipping
beans in a week or ten days from this place,
while acme are just now planting. We have
planted our watermelons and squashes twice,
and now have not Q good stand. Tomatoes
promise fair, and may make Us 2 good. crop.
The orange crop for next season promises to
be very good, as few bearing trees were hart
beyond losing their leaves, Our tyo-year-
olds stood it remarkably we'll, and some are
blooming. We had quite rain storm yester-
day, and now look for some fine weather.
Our lettuce and cabbage are about our only
garden supply at present, but few warmer
days will give Ms good garden. W. NJ. G.

In response to proposal for bids refund
ing 81, $40, 900 Ohio State bonds, six per cent
due next December, asked for by the State
Sinking Fund Commission, Albert Meter, OF
Cincinnati, made the lowest bid, agreeing TO
refund the entire amount at three per cent,
and pay S21.S5 premium for each $1,000 bond
When money is seeking investment at three
per cent, and capitalists willing to pay over
two per cent. for the privilege of getting a
safe loan, money indeed may be said to be
cheap One of the causes why money is SO
cheap, is the fact that high protective tariff
has simulated manufactures beyond the de-
mands of home consumption, and at the same
time destroyed export trade, Another cause
is, the labor agitation-the demand for IN
creased wages and less hours of labor. Capt.
tai has become timid and shriDks from public
enterprises where strikes and riots, and short
days and high wages threaten to annihilate it.

There is bill before the Legislature to
abolish the various industries at the Maryland
Penitentiary The bill should not pass.
First, because labor is essential to the good
health of cenvicts; second, convicts who have
NO trade, are taught one, and are thus en-
abled to earn an honest Living after liberation;
third, by the industries copyicts earn enough
to support the institution, thus avoiding taxa
