HOme-SeeI<ers, Attention.

The United States government has de-
cided to open, Nov %, 1892, for settlement
under the homestead law, the unelrned
lands of the Marquette a. Little Bay Du
NCquet Railroad, heretofore reserved from
entry, in Northern Michigan. AT the same
time the right of the Ontonagon Il Brule
River Railroad has been denied to IL large
tract Of land in the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan. This gives an unpreccdenie ed
chance to locate valuable timber and min.
cral lands, which are among the best in he
Upper Peninsula, and are reached only over
the North star Route milwaukee a. North
eru Railroad) between Chicago and Lake
Superior.

The cost of the production of pork
is less than that of the cost of pou ltry,
but the prices of poultry are higher.
The keeping of a flock of hens, how
ever, is not for the production of meat
only, as hen may lay ten dozens Of
eggs before she is sent to market
There is no conflict between the hog
and the fowl. Both have their uses on
the farm, and, as far as the matter of
profit is concerned. the hen can COM
pare favorably with any of the sDi-
mala.

CLERK Of the Peace Biggs, has gen.
orally been disposed to act very fairly
in regard to the assessments and for
this he Is entitled to credit. He wants
the committee of the Levy Court to
serutinize closely the tax duplicates he
is making out for tho Receiver of
Taxes and to compare them with the
assessments,so that the duplicates can
60 TO the Receiver of Taxes with the
full endorsement of the Levy Court
that they are correct. lie says he does
not want to bother with voters coming
to him to get certificates that they are
assessed after being told by the Re-
ceiyer OF Taxes that they are not on
the tax duplicates.
There Mr., Biggs makes mistake II
no intends 10 give out no certificates
simply because committee OF the
Levy Court has com pared his dupllca-
ties with the assessment and certified
to THEN correctness. The only guar
antee hundreds OF voters have against
disfrancllisements is the certificate
from the clerk of the peace that they
are ON tho Levy Court records, and
these records are entirely in tue hands
OF the clerk OF the peace, These vo-
ters go to the Receiver of Taxes to pay
their taxes and arc peremptorily told
by that official that their names are
not on his duplicates.
What is TO be done? Remembrance
is useless, asking to see the book is
futile, 1t is sacred koran in the hands
OF a man like John T. Dlckey, and no
Republican barbarian dare look within
its sacred lids. Tho voter has no other
resource than to repair to the Clerk of
the feace's Office and II he Il denied a
certificate there that he is assessed, he
will he totally DISTINGUISHED. When
Clerk Blsgs comes to look at it in this
light, he will see that 1t would be un-
lust to deny certificates to those APP
plying, especially when they Me VIII

trouble OF searching the records.
VIZ HAVE received circular from tho
well.known tin.plate manufacturer.
y, & g. Taylor Of Philadelphia, In
which are upwards OF one hundred
and slSty voluntary Testimonials from
dealers in tin-piate all over the coun.
try, and these testimonials are OF the
most thorough and enthusiastic char
actor. Many say that the tin-piate
manufactured by them is far superior
70 the imported brand, and by odds
the best they have ever sold Oh used.
In fact the letters bear abundant evil
dence that tn-nlate is now mado in
quantities In this country equal to
am ever imported, and at a price that
compares favorably with tho imported
article
Still the nplate liar will, no doubt,
keep on in his assertions that no tin
plate has been manufactured in this
country except from Imported mate
rial, However, it makes but little diff.
ference what these tin plate liars say,
