have been overlooked by our county

ter % of the political code.

all orders on the treasury issued during
the quarter next proceeding, on what
account, and also the liabilities of the
county, stated in detail, and the assets
of every kind rs near rs [may1 be,

Vacant Farms tn Vermont

A rather sad story is told by Mr.. Val
entine, a Vermont official, about the
desertlon of that beautiful state by its
former inhabitants. Standing with
other officials on q hill in bennington
county, aud looking over the valley of
the West river, a tributary of the Con.
necticut, they counted fifteen contigu-
GUS farms, of perhaps hundred acres
each, all fenced, and with dwelling
houses and barns, in at least tolerable
condition, without a single inhabitant.
Beyond, towards the Connecticut, but
hidden by the maple groves in the val
ley, We're fifteen mere also deserted,
yet all well situated and still showing
signes of their former fertility. Statis-
tics show that similar condition pre-
walls all over the state. In Windham
county alone are more that 10000 acres
of land, once cultivated but now de-
serted, and in the whole state the num-
Der of abandonded farms, complete
with houses, fences, barns, and out
OOAluiHSos OC SCfClul
Yet Vermont is one of the pleasantest,
healthiest, most fertile and most civil
ized states in the union. In its river
valleys is no malaria, while its hills
are covered to the summit with vegc-
tation. In thirty years, from 1850 to
1880. the increase of population in Yer
mont was 5 per cent, while the popula-
tion of the whole country increased
nearly eighty per cent. Not pretend
ing to any ideas on political economy.
we will not try to account for this
strange condition of things, but it is
certainly curious that region so fav-
ored, in climate and position should be
retrograding so apidly.--American
Architect.

they are milder and produce pleasant

A Sensible View Of tho Question.
Mitchell Republican,

The Republican has the utmost faith
in the sincerity and zeal of the men
who have organized the prohibition en-
forcement league of South Dakota, but
it certainly doubts the wisdom of their
action at this time. 1t is based on the
assumption not only that there are to
be violations of the prohibitory law, for
these are to be expected; but it goes
further and takes the position in ad-
vance that the state, county and muni-
cipal authorities will not haye the
power or the disposition TO insure
proper observance of the law. Herein
we believe the league stands on un-
fair premises. In the first place. the
prohibitory amendment has been
adopted by majority which leaves no
possible question as to the popular sem
timent in the state behind it. Again,
the state officers from governor down
not only stand squarely on the prohibit
tion platform. but with few exceptions
they are personally as strong prohibl-
tionists as any member of the enforce
ment league. Further in a majority of
counties the issue has been clearly
made, in the election of the local Off
GERS, and in nearly every instance these
officers have a personal interest in the
success of the measure. And, finally,
the entire republican press and a fair
proposition of the democratic papers
are pledged by their own utterances
before and after election to insist that
the law be observed to the letter, and
its operations be given the fullest pos
sible test. Under these conditions, we
are justified in believing that the for
nation of an enforcement league is
not only premature, but will have a
tendency to embarass the success of
the measure it has meant to aid.

Peck Sun: Secession never paid
and never will pay, either in nation,
a church. a secret society or anything
else. If l belong to u church and want
quiet lite, and the preacher breaches
too much hell and damnatlon, 1 am not
going to draw out of the church and
start another. l just try to think the
preacher is hitting some other bald
headed fellow in another pew, and l
close my eyes and. try not to look guilty.
That is the way the democrat soldiers
must do in the G. A. r.. Think of the
number of good fellows there are there
to every nine spot. Think how every
year, SO many are dying, and figure up
that it will not be many years before
we shall be mighty glad to catch hold
of the hand of an old soldier, and we
shalt never ask about his politics. It.
will not be leng before there will not
be enough for quorum in any post;
and think of the number Of boys we
shall have to act as pall-bearers for in
the next twenty years. When death
enters post there is no politics thought
of. All the boys gather around the
coffin OF comrade and hope he may
go to the good place in fine shape. BY
and by ali the boys who sing March
ing Through Georgia" and cat baked
beans at the post banquet will beeither
scratching the strings of harps and
flying around in space without any
! clothes on, or they will be signing for
a fire screen or zinc ulster in hades. l
don't suppose the republican soldiers
will all 60 to heaven and the democrat
soldiers all go to hell. The thing is
going to be mixed in each place, just
about as it is here, and if i go to the
place where the music is, and any re-
publican soldier there breaks his harp
string and wants to borrow one he can
reach right under my wing and take it,
and / shall never ask him whether he
voted for Harrison or Cleyeland; and
If it is to be the other place / go. when
the war is over here, and have suit
of clothes made out of asbestos. that
keeps the fire out, and see a republi-
can soldier there who has no fire screen
and 1 find that the fat is frying out of
him, he can have my ulster half the
| time, and no questions asked. I shall
stay in the G. A. II. as long as live
and try to keep the republican fellows
from being too fresh. and let the things
II do. not quite like 90 in one ear and
out of the other, while l eat baked
