Alone VirtuOus.

The platform of the democratic party
of Alabama makes this claim: 1.-The
democratic party alone combines the in
telligence, the experience and virtue
necessary to perpetuate the blessings of
free government And yet seven of
the southern states are the victims of de-
faulting Estate democratic treasurers.
These southern states have not known
what fair and free ballot was in twen-
ty-five years. In Illinois, democrats have
been sent to the penitentiary for ballot
frauds, and more are now under indict-
ment in Chicago. In Indiana the same
story is true. Ohio can take up the re-
frain and point to her four or five demo-
cratic martyrs who are serving out terms
in the penitentiary for ballot box frauds;
in New York, Tammany boodlers are
almost as thick:as the pestiferous English
sparrow. Alton even has its election
crooks, two of them having confessed,
and one soon to be tried at Springfield.
The latter has been made candidate to
the democratic state convention in order
to ''yindlcate' him. II the democratic
party alone contains the virtue of the
American people. God save the country.

CROP PROSPECTS
A Broad Smile Gently Sweeps Across
the Farmers Face.

Eight weeks without rain is something
remarkable for any country, even in the
''Great American Desert" but the north.
west has an advantage over any other
part of the United States. No other
state except Kansas could stand eight
weeks without the loss of entire corn.
wheat, grass Ccrop, ETC. The Thomas
county farmers should feel highly elated
over the situation of the farming com.
munity. Just when the most stalwart be-
gan to feel discouraged and that we were
going to the wall on account of total
failure of crops. the rain descends in a
manner which insures reaction and ev.
cry farmer will raise something Most of
the fall and spring wheat will be redeem
ed to an extent of fully half a crop. Oats
is quite short but will make some feed
and after the rains of Sunday and Sun
day night will in many instances. make
enough to harvest. The crops in general
will. we believe be much better than
most people think. We see no reason
now for anyone to feel blue over the
prospect but rather elated over the fact
that we have a country in which our
crops can Withstand more drouth than
any state in the union. Corn is looking
fine and bids fair to be above an average
crop.

A NICE FARM.
q. w. Shill's Fine Farm Of COttOnwO0ds
and BOX.Elder Trees.

With probably one exception G. w.
Shill can boast of having the most thrifty
farm in Thomas county. He is one OF
the Oldest settlers and to great extent
had the pick of timber claims and home
steads. His timber claim is 12 miles north
east of the city and is almost wholly
bottom land. The Sappa creek enters
the 100 on the west side near the south
west corner and runs eastward nearly to
the east side when it turns north and
leayes the tract near the northeast cor
ner. 1t is over one mile in length on the
100 acres. With the exception of a mar
row strip along the south side and about
10 acres in the northwest corner it is the
finest bottom land to be found on the
Sappa and yields heavy crop of grass
every year. The west side of this farm is
the limit of living water which is kept
in running order by numerous springs.
One of these has quite a flow of excel
lent water and drink from the fountain
is relishable in this country. Another of
these springs is in the bottom of the
creek and its dimensions are so large
that the bottom has never been found
though persons have dived down about
fifty feet. 1t is exceedingly clear and
cold. From this place Mr.. Shill puts up
his ice in the winter and it is said to be
the best in the country. Last season he
stored 80 tons.
MIR. Shill is known throughout the
county as having the finest and largest
grove in this part of the state. His oldest
trees are about 90 feet high and they are
close enough to form an elegant dense
shade. Five acres are covered with these
fine trees and then he has ten acres
planted with trees 2 years old and it is
surprising to see the wonderful growth
they have made. To the south side of
this forest of trees are numerous kinds of
fruit trees, all doing remarkably well
and many laden with fruit.
Mr.. ShilPs corn looks fine and not a
blade of grass or weed is to be found in
his cornfield or grove of young trees.
While this is true he has never used a
shovel plow or cultivator on his place.
He has simple contrivance by which he
cuts the grass and weeds out without dis
turbing the crust of earth which holds
the moisture
Mr.. Shill has comfortable home, an
excellent helpmate, two sons and is an
industrious, hardworking man. His
farm is worth visiting and all who can
are invited to do so on the Fourth of
July when a basket dinner and celebra-
ton will be held there.

District Court,

The district court convened last Satur.
day, Judge c. W. Smith presiding. On
Monday cases were set. and a number
thrown out on account of irregular forms.
The case of granting a permit to o. P.
Baugh to sell liquor and brought up from
the county court, was disposed of on
short order. Judge Lesh was sustained
in refusing to grant the permit. Judge
Smith held that signers to the petition
must be residents at the time the matter
is set for hearing.
The case of the people VS.. T. J. Ruth
erford, in which he is charged with sell
ling liquor contrary to law, occupied the
greater part of the day on Tuesday. The
jury was out but short time, and re-
turned verdict of mot guilty.
A full report of the proceedings will be
published in the CAT at the end of the
term.
