A GREAT
An Agricultural Paper on the Late
Stock Show.
North Dakota Farmer.


North Dakota Farmer.
The three days stock show at Devils
Lake. Dakota, July l, 2 and 8, was, as a
stock show, entirely successful. Stock
men who were present state that they
never witnessed a better display Of thor
oughbred cattle. The organization had
IN it some Of the elements of a very bold
venture, so far as immediate financial
results are concerned, the country being
new and hardly prepared for an exhibit
of such vast proportions. The associa-
ton laid out about $500 in buildings,
race track, ETC., and paid something
a the same amount in purses and
premiums. Two heavy transforms dur
ing the show prevented the anticipated
local attendance, vet the crowd was large
and the three days receipts reached the
sum OF $1,000. A cash subscription of
$eoO and a cash item for ground priv
'leges of $430 brought the up
to figure sufficiently large to encour-
age q more extensive show next year.
n associations Indebtedness is some.
thing like $500, and an assessment upon
the stock will probably he made to cover
the deficit.
The date of the show was that upon
which, most towns hold their celebrations
and as horse racing has grown to be an
important part Of Fourth of July, the
entries for track sports were not large,
and the track events were unimportant.
All premiums and purses, however, were
paid in full, and this will induce exhibit.
tors to attend again next year.
Grand Forks. which was well repre-
scented, carried of about $500 of the
premium money for cattle. Messrs. Will
COX 4 Liggeft, of Benson. Mimi, got
their full share, while the Mouse River,
Turtle Mountain and Big Coulee regions
took the remainder. Local exhibitors
were not so plenty as they should have
been. The fact that so many thorough
bred animals were on the ground seems
to have discouraged Ramsey county res.
idents yet it is since learned that local
stock, fully up to the average of that
shown, could have been there. The IL
ty is we'll stocked. and the farmers should
take q deeper interest in such things.
The benefits which will necessarily ac.
crue to the farmers by such exhibitions
can scarcely be estimated. Better blood
will be distributed and better and more
stock will be the result.
Another thing: We noticed that two
or three OF the citizens carried the entire
burden Of this first show upon their
shoulders. There is always a disposition
in an organization like this to shift the
responsibility on a few. The North Da.
kota Farmer r~efrains from mentioning
names in this case. The active workers
are well known, and their services will
be appreciated. All citizens are equally
interested in such al important enter
prise.

gether with an agricultural fair, after the
close OF the Grand Forks exhibition

North Dakota Apples.

The theory that apples do not grow in
North Dakota has been fully exploded,
along with the usual lie that corn never
ripens. Robert Stanley. five miles east,
has an apple tree with 249 well-formed
apples on it. Judge Francis has several
bearing trees. H. D. Reed has a ten-acre
corn-feld that would be a credit to ILL.

Fort Abraham Lincoln, near Bismarck

there is no further necessity for it, as the

All the garrison has been already re.

cost them but % or 80 cents, and cure

The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-07-28

Considerable complaint comes to
us about church members drinking
wine and frequenting the saloon
north of the Court House. This is
not especially our business, except
in a general way to condemn this
habit of drinking and the practice
of freqnenting such houses. This
is especially the business of the
church to labor with the members
who are guilty of such sinful prac-
tees. They ought to quit the
drink habit or quit the church, for
they disgrace themselves and bring
dishonor upon the church. Is it
less sinful to drink native, home
made wine than foreign? None
whatever! Any kind of drink
which intoxicates is sinful to use as
a beverage; and church members
who loaf around where it is kept,
subject themselves to the charge of
drinkers.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-07-28

The Republican party pledged
itself in its State Convention to
submit the pending Constitutional
Amendment to vote of the people.
Now, that is as much a principle of
the party as protective tariff or
any other avOwed principle; and
any candidate for Representative
who refuses to support that meas
ure is not good republican, and
has no right to ask the votes of re-
publicans, because he does not
stand on their platform. And any
candidate who refuses to give his
position unequivOcally desires to
leave room to sell out to any one
who will buy him. Besides this, he
is an enemy to the people, not will.
ing to give them their constitution
al rights. So we say to all, before
you vote be sure yon are right. Do
not accept private pledge. A
man who makes private pledges
is dish ,nest, so accept nothing but
public pledges.

The Devils Campground.

The Knoxville Journal gave the
news of fight at Jellico, which
might be called the Devils Camp
ground. Two men were killed and
several wounded. The cause is
laid by the Journal to be in a dance
at ii house of bad repute. Nothing
is said about the hell-broth which
was drank as that would have Of
Tended the saloon-keepers. We
know this place from experience.
Last May we saw not less than fifty
drunken men get on the train at
that point. Their pockets were fill.
ed with bottles, and they swore
awful oaths and walked the aisles
in the cars with open knives in
their hands, threatening to cut the
hearts out of any one who inter.
fered with them. This was a wed.
ding party.

Stands Square.

Hon. ALT Taylor, our candidate
for Governor, in his speech at
Staub's theatre, Knoxville, endors-
ed the State Republican platform,
fully and completely.
1st-The Tariff.
2nd-The submission to the peo-
pie the pending Constitutional
Amendment for their approval or
rejection.
3rd-The condemnation of the
Penitentiary lease system, giving
the labor to the convicts instead of
honest men.
4th-The educational bill giving
to Tennessee about eight million of
dollars.
HIS endorsement of all these
measures were hearty and COM
plete. We were pleased that he had
but one shoulder on which to carry
Republican principles. He was
willing, yea, anxious, for the people
to understand how he stood; that
his proposition vas a square one.
No higgling, like some little one
horse, crossroads politicians, but a
square and honest man standing
up before the people; and thus the
people will vote for him for Gov
ernOr.

Straight Goods.

In the Knoxville Tribune of last
Friday appeared an article headed
disappointed with Owings," and
signed Spectator" The drift of
the article would naturally lead to
the impression that the TINES does
not indorse the candidacy of Mr..
Owings for Attorney General. In
fact we believe that the article was
written with the avowed purpose
of creating this impression. 1t is
true the TIMES has not devoted its
entire columns to the benefit of MIR.
Owings, because we have not DEEM
ed it necessary for his election,
neither has Mr.. Owings considered
the race close enough to engineer his
campaign through the columns of
the press.
Spectator intimates that the
TIMES will not support Mr.. Owings.
We can disabuse his mind Of this
error by simply referring him to
the issue of this paper Immediately
following the Loudon convention.
While we are not sufficiently ac-
quainted with the ability of the two
men to say which is the best quail
fed fol- the position, yet we honest
ly believe that Mr.. Owings is thor
oughly qualified in every particular
to command the respect of the full
party vote, and also to perform
the duties of the Office
without the slightest embarass-
ment. Notwithstanding what may
appear elsewhere in these columns,
the TIMES earnestly, openly and
honestly commends Mr.. Owings to
the voters of the Sd judicial dis
trict.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-07-28

The Athens Post says: "If the
democrats should be defeated in
November, of which there does
not seem to be much danger"
This is a strong admission for an
old and tried democratic paper to
make. The democracy has fears,
and they are well-grounded. Their
leaders have become a set of reck-
less men, who have soldou to spec
ulators, and are all now opposed to
the laboring mems interest and to
the education of the poor people.

Shall We axe It?

The government offers the peo-
pie of Tennessee one million dollars
year for eight years to educate
their children. Theleading demo-
Gratis of the State say, "No, we do
not want it." What do the people
say? The republicans say, eyes,
take it," and the poor people who
are democrats say, eyes, we want
it." Now, how are they to get it =?
The only way will be to vote the
republican ticket.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-07-28
The Trustees Race.

The democracy of Blount county
have accomplished a wonderful
feat. They have taken their candi-
date for sheriff off the track and
concluded to run him for trustee,
against Mac. Rule.
Rule is republican, and a poor
man; and has large family to
support, and since the death of his
venerable father, Peter Rule, Mac.
has assisted in the support of his
mothers family. He was sheriff
four years, was an honest man,
and went out of Office as poor as he
came into it, and with clean hands.
No money of BlOunt county, or of
any of its citizens, ever stuck to
Rules hands.
He will make a good, efficient,
honest and clear-headed trustee,
and should receive the support of
every republican in Blount county,
as he is the nominee of his party.
Mr.. Anderson, his opponent, is a
rich man, has large farm, does
not need assistance in supporting a
widowed mother and his sisters,
and does not need the Office-in-
deed, would bebetter off without it.
Anderson's election would oe a
material benefit to the democracy
of Maryville, but it would do Blount
county and the republican party no
good to elect him.
Anderson is a clever man, but
this is not the time for Blount coun.
ty republicans to abandon the par
ty candidates. We have an cleo.
ton in November for governor, and
the vote Of republican for a dem
ocrat, in the county election, will
make the party weaker in NOvem-
Der.
