Clark Cross sold harvester last
Saturday when the thermometer
was sinking low and the cold wind
should have shivered the farmer to
a forgetfulness of harvest time. Mr..
Gross could not resist the tempta-
ton to make the sale, but when the
infatuation Of the deal had subsidized
and he looked upon the trans
action calmly and viewed it
in its cool atrocity he was
overcome with remorse, and
spent the Sabbath in manner that
would be highly approved by fastidi-
Gus morallsts, in doing penance for
his untimely sale. After his rumin.
ations of Sunday MIR. Cross thinks
he could give Henry Ward Beecher
some pointers for his lecture on
conscience" However, Mr.. Cross
finds no little consolation in the fact
that he sold the binder at an extreme.
ly reasonable figure.
Our regular correspondent from
Ross stated in his letter of fortnight
ago that the people of Cameron
township voted tax of $500 at the
last preceding election to complete
the school house. Another cores
pondent wishes this statement cor
rected. He says that one year ago
Cameron voted ST. 900 tax to build
school house at the Center or in
district No. S, while the $500 tax,
assumed this year, is to erect a new
building in district No. 9. II is in
ferable that the fund appropriated
last year was not exhausted in the
erection Of the building in district
No. s, and that to the residue the
$500, recently taxed, is to be added
for the erection of the edifice in No.
9. Although the implication of our
regular correspondents statement
was misleading, we do not think he
intended any misrepresentation Of
the facts.
