1t is is q matter OF wonder to us,
that town like this, will allow a set
of vagabond boys to disturb public
meetings of all kinds as they do here
There are few boys here who are a
little to old to be classed "a "un.
accountable" and little too young
to comprehend the word gentlemes'
in its true sense. These boys do not
seem to have the slightest respect for
ladies, nor any one else. We think
an incorporated town like this, should
find some means to prevent these
disturbances.

To the Editor Of The Argus:
We desire to suggest the name of
Mr.. Julius K. Monroe, for the office
of County Surveyor, knowing as we
do that Mr.. Menroe is well fitted for
the position we have no hesitancy in
saying that he would make the best
surveyor that this county has ever
had He has done large amount
of surveying in this county within
the past four or FIVE years, and has
given entire satisfaction in every in.
stance. He is young man with a
good educational sound judgment, of
moral habits, and is gentleman in
every respect. The peoples inter
est would not suffer with Mr.. Monroe
in the Office of County Surveyor.
This may be a surprise to him, but
we believe in the Office seeking the
man. REPUBLICAN.

Mr.. Jno' w. Titchenell, Of
Pleasant District, while returning
from church Sunday, was run over by
a horse, and severely bruised. It
seems that party Of reckless young
men we're racing, and thought Mr..
Titchenell would get out Of the roa d, ,
and did not check their horses. The
parties, Jno. Harmed, Jno. Walls
and John Liston we're arrested and
brought before Squire Nef at this
place. Harmed gave bail for his ap.
pearance before the Grand Jury, for
$400. Liston and Walls failed to
give bail and we're sent 10 Jail until
they could do so. Wehope this will
be a warning to all young men al
dicted to horse racing on Sunday as
is seems 10 be n common practice.

Death OF Ex-President Arthur,

Ex- President Chester 4. Arthur
died Friday morning. For long
time he has been suffering from
an ineurable malady and although
at times he was reported to be re-
gaining his health, appearances
were deceptive and he finally yield
ed to the inevitable summons.
Chester Allen Arthur, the
twenty-first President of the Uni
ted States, was the son of a Baptist
minister, Rev. VIM. Arthur, and
was born at Fairfield, Vermont,
October 5, 1830,and was conse-
quently, at the time of his death,
a little over fifty-six years of age.
graduated at Union college, New
I I ork, in 1873 and 'soon after enter-
ed upon the practice of law in New
York city. During the civil war
he was active in the organization
of the State troops in New York,
and held several important mill
tary ofices-among them the
quartermaster-generalship. From
1871 to 1878 he held tie important
position of collector of the port of
New York, and in the management
of the office, and especially in dis
pensing its patronage, won repu-
tation as a shrewd, far-seeing poll
tician. In June, 1880, he was
nominated for the vice-prosidency
by the Republicans at Chicago on
the ticket with Garfield, was elect
ed in November of the same year,
and succeeded to the presidency
by the death of Garfield, Septem-
Der 10, 1881.
He came to the presidency at a
most critical period in our history
and, during his three years tenure,
gave the country it's first eonserv-
alive Republican administration.
The South especially had cause
to look with favor upon his admin
istration, as he recognized more
fully than any of his immediate
predecessors the rights of the
States of local self-government-
