Throughb breds on the Block.

ED. GRAPHIC: Last fall having
more cattle than room, l conclud-
ed to turn off some of them to the
butcher. Accordingly l put six
or seven yearlings into the feed
LOT to fatten, among them two
thoroughbred heifers. Feeding
began the first Sunday in Novem-
ber, and ended Feb. 8. After feed
ing one month l weighed one OF the
heifers and she tipped the beam
at 935 pounds. When 1 sold her
Feb. 9th, she weighed 1150pounds
having gained since weighing 2l5
pounds. From the time she was put
into the lot until sold, she corsum-
ed about 25 bushels of corn and
cob meal, and brought me S37.37aa.
AS she would not have been two
years old until March 20, you will
readily see that blood tells on the
block.
The cattle business has been
rather discoersging for a few
years, but | think we are now al
most to the top Of the hill. AS 1t
is [ can still see some money in
cattle, but it takes good cattle and
care to get profit.

only excuse that has

The only excuse that has
been offered in behalf of the coun-
ty court for its recent action in
letting the poor farm to the high
est bidder, is the claim that former
county officials have done things
equally as bad or worse. This
however, Is no excuse, as the pres
ent county court was elected as a
reform body, and the people ex-
pect it to carry out the declara-
tiops Of reform made before cleo
ton.
The Co urt house problem
is one that must present itself for
solutiol at an early date. The
present location is not only lncon-
venient but undesirable and un-
safe. The county court can, how
ever, do nothing at the present
time to better the condition OF af-
fairs. There is no building in the
city that could be utilized that Of
fers better acc )mmodations or
greater protection from fire than
those now at the disposal of the
county. If a private individua
were TO erect a building suita-
BILE to the wants and needs OF
the county the present court
would hardly care to take upon
itself the responsibility of leasing
it for q term of years that woulG
make it paying Investment. In.
deed such al act would be almos'
reprehensible when it is sc
we'll known that the build
ing OF suitable court house is SO
near at hand and SO nearly uni
versally desired by the tax-pay-
ers. 1t is more than probable that
the court house question will be
one of the principal factors il the
next county campaign, 1t shoulC
go to the people, for they are the
ones that must pay the bills; and
to enable them to make up thei,
minds as to what they want an,
how much they are willing to ex
pend for it, the agitation Of th
subject should be gin now.

Memorial Service.

The memorial service in honor
of Gen. w. L. Sherman WAS held
at the Opera House Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock. The house
was called to order by commander
of the post, John Shaver, who hnd
char ye of cervices.
The exercises opened with pray
er by Rev. Il. Roszell and script
ure reading by Rev. Z. b. Cater.
After u song by the choir tho
memorial address was delivered
| by Rev. Sawyer of this city, and
late Vice, Department of Colora-
do. He spoke minutely of the
life and services of Gen. Sherman
from the time of his graduation at
West Point until the time of his
death, eloquently tracing the
eventful carear of the great soldier
and citizen.
Geh. Sherman was warm per-
sonal friend of Rev. Sawyer, they
having met fo. the irst time at
the siege of Vicksburg. This to-
gether with his careful study of
the Generals life made the ad-
dress one of unusual interest.
The speaker touchlngly referred to
The death of Admiral Porter,
which occurred scarcely twenty
four hours before the death of
Gen. Sherman. The greatest Adj
miral and the greatest general
had gone to join the invisible
ranks of the grand army across the
the river. The speaker closed
with the following beautiful lines
from O'Hara:
On fame's eternal ca mping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead.
After song by the choir, there
was a short eulogy on the life of
Sherman by Rev. Greene. Owing
TO the low temperature, of the
hall, the speaker refrained from
any extended remarks.
at the close of Rev. Greene's
address the assembly WAS dismiss,
ed by commanded Shaver.
