sanguine expectation. and its praise las been
sounded far and wide for quality of work und
lightness of draft. Our business has not
been confined TO this and adjoining counties.
but we are receiving orders from abroad
Farmers are learning not to buy a poor imple-
ment because it Is cheap. but get the best and
gain in good crops. There are several good
points in our PlOw. which commend it above
all others. In the first place. it is made of the
very best material. and secondly. it is a
Wrought Plow. and can he repaired by any
ordinary workman. and at q less cost thirdly.
it cuts off the land level below before coul-
mcncing to turn the furrOw. thereby leaving
the ground to get tile full benefit of a rainfall.
Willie other pl0ws trough it ont. leaving the

DANIEL H~EFLEBowER says: ] have tested

of Won and fud il up to all the rcquircments
light in draft, easily adjusted. and the only
pillow ] ever saw that will follow equally as
well two or three horses. ! want no more cast
piows.
CHARLES Z. T~fMBERLAKE says: The i'm
proved two or thrce-horsc Suufish Pillow l
got of y0u Con trial. this Spring proves to be
equal TO all you claim for it. and more. l
plowed O piece of new ground with three horses
ii was equal to it, and came out with colors
flying.
p. O'BR1EN, Of Halltown. says: l take
pleasure in SAYING that the New Plow. pur-
chased Of youthis Spring. gave entire s~atisfac-
ton. The peculiar quality of the soil which 1
have TO pillow makes it necessary to have moth
ipg but the very best pillow to do the work. -.

say in regard to yOnr New PlOw that it is the
hest ! have ever uscd-works easy to both man

ground. and is she cheapest to keep in order
JOSEPH l.. E"ICHELBERGER says: Received
your note the other day. and say in re-
gard To the PlOw. thar it is all that could be de-
sired light of draft. and does its work well.
and is in nv judgement u much better Plow
than any of those light Flows from the North
and West that are shipped here by the car
load. Farmers had hetter spend their money
at home and encourage home manufacturers.
q. w. SSYDER Middlewnv. says: like Your
Pillow both for two or three horses. and | have
never seen any better. II can he kept in order
with less expense than any ] have ever used.
It cuts the ground off before it turns it. there
by making IL level surface below. There is
where it beats other Flows.

n number of of negroes and beaten.
He then summoned posse of
twelve men, and went Sunday
evening to arrest the negro.
Theposse were fred upon from
ambush and five were killed out
right and six were wounded more
or less seriously. The news spread
rapidly and the negroes were
strongly reinforced. Wahalak
telegraphed along the line for help
and Meridian responded with
about seventy Ave well armed
men. They were Joined at every
station and reaching Wahalak,
marched Immediately to the scene
of bloodshed. The negroes were
barricaded and refused to give
up the dead whites. At noon the
forces were supposed to be about
equal, and what the result will be
no one knows.
Tuesday afternoon news was
received that the belligerent ne
groes have retreated to the swamps
and are stubborn, while the nom
cpmbatant negroes are fleeing to
the woods in terror. Captain Nc
Dowell, Of Columbus, Rifemen,
telegraphed the Sheriff of Kemper
county that his men were ready
if he should ask the Governor for
military assistance. The telegram
was not delivered, as the Sheriff
was not in town. There is consid-
eraple excitement here, and the
news Of the developments is await
ed with the utmost anxiety.

more to re-delegate the authority
of representation?
The Committee must act, II at
all, by virtue of the powers with
which it is invested by election,
among which powers the election
of its own members Is not reckon
ed.
The whole proceedings is utterly
void of the element of sense.--A
parallel case--The Ohio Legisla-
ture will convene in two weeks and
as evil-minded persons assert that
Mr.. Buerhaus is seldom present,
we will suppose that he does not
answer to the roll call, and there
upon soms Wahoo, like Tony Bari
con of the Vinton Record, who
happens to be present in the lobby,
solemnly lifts up his voice and
moves that Xenopoleon Smith
of Gailia County be selected to rep
resent Hooking County in the abb
sense of Mr.. B., and it is done ac-
cordingly! Oh ye Shades! But
there is as much sense in one
transaction as in the other. What
then, says one, is to be done. Just
what usage and sense would die
tate; If the roll call shows quOr-
um to be present, it proceeds to
business, if not it adjourns. This
is all that can be done.
But the extreme fOOlishness Of
the filling up process is not its
worst phase.
1t opens the way for jobbery and
the furthering Of private ends at
the expence of public and party
good, and if we would achieve the
greatest party success we must
avoid even the appearance Of job
berry.

Duty Of Democrats.

While Democrats generally may
believe in the principles of govern
mental policy advocated by the
party at large there are certain
duties of local nature that are
of equal moment and importance
If we would strengthen our organi-
zation and achieve our old time
victories.
Our Central Committee must
make vigorous effort to relieve
itself of the tramels of an old time
custom in which there is neither
necessity nor sense to play the
part of excuser.
We refer to the habit Of filing
vacant places in the committee
at any meeting. Let Democrats
think soberly of the mode of pro-
ceedure at an ordinary meeting
of the Central Committee and then
apply tho ordinary rules of common
sense to the subject and see what
jdiotic child's play he engages in,
A meeting of the Central Cons
mittee is announced for certain
day, meets (nominally) and is call
ed to order in the presence of an
assembly of bystanders. The roll
being called certain members are
found to be absent,
A motion is made, frequently by
some one not a member OF the
committee, to fill the vacancies on
the committee from the bystand-
ers, the motion is put, everybody

speedily filled Now look at the
whole transaction,

ed. l feel at this moment more
anxiety for the safety of my coun,
try than ever before, even in the
midst of the war. God grant that
my suspicious may prove ground
less.n
trust that no Republican will
denounce the author of the FORE
going sentiment as a traitor, before
I have time to tell him the pro-
phet's name. This is among the
last public utterances of President
Abraham Lincoln. How sadly his
prediction has been fulfilled. We
have lust witnessed the spectacle
of the "money power of the
country" purchasing the Presi-
dency "to prolong its reign" and
we heard the demagogues, who
are in the scheme for revenue, sue
cessfully "appeal to the prejudices
of the people" The course the
same demagogical leaders expect
to pursue until "all wealth is ag-
gregated in a few hands," and when
that comes to pass, in the prophetic
language of Abraham Lincoln,
"the Republic is destroyed" This
extract from President Lincoln
gives new and startling meaning
to President Cleveland's words in
his last message on the same SUBJ
ject. An Administration, chosen
by the corruption funds of trusts,
corporations and monopolies, may
reverse history, and turn and rend
its own creators, but it is uot like
Iy. The people themselves had
better go on guard at Once.-Colum-
bus Post.

DURING the recent campaign
the Republicans whooped and
howled increasingly about Demo
Gratis supporting English ideas,and
taking kindly to Englishmen, and
all that sort of rot. President Har-
rison has made one appointment.
