Our farmers are puzzled here in try
keeps going from bad to worse, while
corn cannot make more that half a
crop if frost comes late, which seems
unlikely! for frost has already been
seen in some localities here, though
not heavy enough to kill beans. Per-
haps paying protection prices for the
wheat We buy, and getting free trade
prices for what we have to sell, has had
something to do with the price of
wheat; and as the time to vote is close
at hand, some care should be exercised
to vote against protection. A little
common sense is called for.
From excessively wet weather we
have gone to the other extreme, of
drouth and the prayer is for rain.
Showers have fallen in strips and spots,

THE following from the Pennington
Times relative to Iron county's s.break''
to Fyan On the 1O6th ballot needs cor
rection:
On the 105 ballot st. Francois county
complimented Edgar with its nine votes,
but on the next and last ballot Edgar's
county broke to Fyan. The st. Fran
co.'s county delegates, who had prom
ised to vote for Edgar for four success
sive ballots, with the understanding that
if he did not develop sufficient strength
to nominate him, his county was then
to come to Carter, seeing Edgar's own
county break away from him, decided
to end the struggle by going over to
Fyan and nominating him.
The chairman of Iron county's dele
cation informs US that there was no
agreement on his part such as is here
intimated, and no faith was broken in
Irons going to Fyan. Bro. Fisher has
been misinformed.

A Radical Incident.

In last weeks Retormer we find the
following bit of old-time history:
But first about the certificates.

of it,-prouder still that | let the clerk

pleased with it,. and that always have
been able to make living with out
office!!!
BY the grace of God and the Repub1i-

the Circuit and County courts of Rey-
nolds county without asking for it.
At that time there was a law of reg

the West Fork, old man Meadows, for
the East Fork, Marian Johnston, for
Logan Creek, James Moore. At the
same time we had only a weekly mail
TO Pilot Knob, then the end of the rail-
road. Although We were in the back
woods, took pride in the Office that
the work should be done as quickly and
well as in more favored counties.
When the returns came in of the

was.
Next Monday one of the Judges of
election of the Middle Fork came to me
and said that he was not going to risk
a five hundred dollar fine by cOnniving
at fraud, that fifteen men voted there
VINO were not registered. Next day,
Tuesday, one of the clerks of election
came up from Lesterville saying that
they had voted there without any list
at all, that the ballot boxes were taken
home by old Tommy Harrison at night
and was counted only next day after
they got the list.
Here was pretty kettle of fish; was
Ito connive at fraud? not much. Those
men thought they were doing their duty
and getting out of fine when they told
me the truth, but did not l become sub
ject to fine when 1 knew the truth
and should conceal it? What was to
be done?
1 determined to lay the whole matter
before Governor McClurg, after getting
affidavits from the proper officers. One
of the Board, James Moore, / took with
me to Jefferson city paying his expens-
es out of my pocket. The Governor
told me in the presence of James Moore
that he could do nothing; that l had
