The farmers around Beaver Dam

favorable spring to put in their

crops at this date is really encourag

To the Editor of the Ledger.
AT HOME, May IA, 1SS6.-Yield-
ing to urgent solicitations OF life
long friends, 1 consented and so an
nounced myself as candidate to rep
present this county in our next
Legislature. Recognizing that the
public, to a large extent, has de-
mands on the citizen which he may
not at all times disregard, yet, there
are domestic claims which may be
imperative, and for the time out
weigh all others. This latter demand
l have not fully and rightfully ap-
preciated until at this time. The
canvass is now before me with all
the assurances of ultimate success
that can desire. / find that in this
undertaking there is an amount Of
sacrifice on my part, more than my
friends can demand of me. CouiC
/ speak to them severally, / feel tina
they would readily consent to ant
acouiesce IN this, my determination
to withdraw from the present can
vass. In doing this feel there is nj
interest of the county nor our part,
ieopardlzed but am yielding to tn
claims of the first and highest order
Words are not at my command t
fitly express to one and all my CRATE
iful. heartfelt thanks for the YER
marked past and present partialit
shown me by my fellow citizens.

Little Ttlden.

Little Samuel j. Tilden, son OF Mr..
and Mrs. Long, was born Sept. 20, 1876,
and died April 3oth, 1886, aged . years,
mont hs and days.
Fer some years little Tilden has been
afflicted so that the most Of his days were
spent In the room with his mother and
the little children, which made him
household pet. With his affliction, he
was bright cheerful little fellow, never
complaining but little, even In his last
sickness, which terminated his earthly life,
Tenderly he said just before he died.
"Mamma, I'll never look at you any more
In this world. Mamma, don't cry" His
suffering time is DER. He lives with
Jesus ever more. To the little children
that loved Tilden SO ardently, would
say, IL you are good In this life, you vii
see him again In the sweet bye and bye
to the parent, let this angel child bind
your affections more closely TO the throne
| of heaven.
Death may the bonds Of life unieese,
But can't desoive our love.

Mrs. Spiers, mother of Charles
Spiers, of this place, died very sud-

remains were taken to Warren county

Messrs. Kendall & Green shipped
to st. Louis another car load of fine
horses. We like to see trade lively
in this line but cannot help regret
ting to see so many of our fine horses
shipped away. We think there is
nothing that speaks better for the
farmers than to see them driving
good, substantial, well-kept teams.
Those parties who are disposed to
criticise Rev. Nichols should remem.
ber the circumstances under which
he is laboring. The parties that
cause the unpleasantness are mem

vantage Of the privileges accorded
them to advocate principles and doc

and not on the minister.

parents may serve TO make the task

Co operation of the parents. Don't
imagine your boy the best one in
the school even if he is obedient and
well behaved at home. Parents
naturally are partial judges of the
justice of any punishment inflicted
on their children, and some children
who are punished have a way of
stating their side of the case that
puts the teacher who infiicts the
same in very unfavorable light. If
you listen to their tales get the other
side before passing sentence on the
teacher and rendering a verdict of
not guilty in regard to your child.
