The number of old soldiers discharg-
ed from the government service in
Michigan, as far as heard from, is AZ,
and hut four Of their places have been
filed by veterans of the democratic
faith. The balance of the positions
have been filed by bummers. ward
workers. etc., one of which did not
know what the letters M G. meant
when attached to an ddress on let
ter. This accounts. in part, for the in
efficiency of the mail service In this
State. In Indiana it is much worse.

appointed into the mail service on the
recommendation of w. r. Myers. Sec.

Sharp Practice.

Some months ago, some of the lo-
cal democracy engaged the Opera
House for Nov. 3rd and 9Th, thinking
they could thereby prevent the repub-
leans from holding any large meet
ings on the eve of the election. To
meet their actions the republicans en-
gagged the new courtroom from the
contractor, Mr.. l. NJ. Silsby, which
was sanctioned by Sheriff Mccullough,
in whose charge it would be IL the
comfy should have any control over
it at that time.
On learning of this, the aforesaid
democrats prevailed on Supervisor
Jackson to Introduce a resolution be
fore the board of supervisors forbid.

ton was not supported, as a majority
knew they had no authority in the
premises.

The American Aqricu'turiSt for Oc-
tober contains several useful and sea-
sonable articles upon the care of stock
Fall and Winter Feeding of Young
Stock. ".is the subject of an article by
Prof. w. A. Henry, director of the
Wisconsin Experiment Station. A TIA
BILE is given showing the result of ex-
periments made at the station in feed
ing sixteen calves from good, common
dairy stock up to the age of two years,
the point emphasized being that a
young animal gives far better returns
for feed consumed than an old one.
An article by Midy Morgan in the
same number treats of the feeding and
the care of the pig, and the live
stock notes are fun of suggestion and
advice that are timely reading for the
farmer at this season of the year.
There is also practical article on
good and bad horse-shoeing, and one
treating of the diseases of young
fowls.

statement made by his son. A com
mittee of six, three democrats and
three republicans were appointed TO
visit Thurman's residence and seeif
the report was correct that it was not
decorated. They did SO. Their re-
port was that there was not single
flag on the house but that they found
two small flags not foot long lying
on the ground by the gate posts. If
American flags are as scarce in the
households of democrats in Columbus
as they are in those of Crawling, the
failure to display them is easily ac-
counted for. The democratic club
does not even own one, and four years
ago had cheek enough TO hoist one on
their pole that belonged to the town
without permission. Their emblem is
