father.
A very fine lot of wheat was harvested
around here this year. and the farmers, in
stead of grumbling, can thank the Lord tina
it has rained on the just and the unjus
alike.
1t is the community "scab'' that laughs a
the laboring man who is his superior anyway
you take it. A very charitable and warn
heart often beats beneath ragged jacket.

There are things around our town that
need attention and breaking-up. For in
stance some folks throw their dead chickens
and cats, dogs, &C., in the burying- ground.-
This is no place for such litter, and those who
have friends inferred there ought to break it
up.
The champion mean man" halls from the
West this season. A farmer had poor day
laborer living on his farm in little twenty
dollar log house. The man worked hard all
/; harvest, and toward the finish he was taken
sick. When the Lord of the Manor heard of
it, he sent word to the poor man to get out of
his house. Lots of religion in this. He
should be voted the cake as the meanest man
on record. He is as bad as the man who was
harvesting and too mean to quit, and laid
down in the wheat until his fathers funeral
procession had passed by.
On Thursday next, there will be united in
the holy bonds of matrimony Mr. Charles
Dab of IL,
vicinity.
Jos. c. Shelton, who has been sick for some
time, has recovered.
There are several married men who live in
radius of ten miles of here who would be
more thought of both by their wives and the
community if they staid at home more and
worked more and paid less attention to single
women, and then it would reflect more credit
upon certain girls to flirt less with married
men. See!
There are some empty houses in this vii
lage which ought to be occupied by some
good workingmen of any kind.
A rumpus was precipitated in Kentucky
few days ago, as we learn from private letter
from there. A Constable, whose greed for
money overcame his honesty, had collected
the attendance fee of witness in a case, as is
always done, and kept it. He referred the
witness to the Justice, who informed him
that the Constable did the collecting, and of
course hadit. The Constable who had stolen
money before and was caught up with, would
not pay it. So they met and angry words
followed, then blows, then the witness
emptied Bulldog into the dishonest Off
Ger, badly wounding him. The Squire de-
cided it was simply case of breach of the
peace and fined the witness ten dollars for
doing a good job for the community. He
may get well. Officers very often take adj
vantage of ignorant people and keep their at
tendance fee by saying they could not collect
it for them. 1t is a low trick in a man, but is
often done. Such men are never reelected
| because the people find them out very soon.
How can any man who lives in the South
vote for the Force bill. Do they want
Federal Marshals prowling around after them
and interfering with their rights. A vote for
Harrison is one for the Force bill, and more,
Harrison is South-hater. There is not a
| man North that hates the South like Harri-
son. Several men, who have heretofore voted
tlldt tlChtl dI6 llOt III IL llllS tll1t lucy dI6
very respectable and intelligent men too
They will go to the Prohibition side. Yes
Harrison hates our glorious sunny South
| He has as good as said SO, and that is enough
to make any man, who makes the South his
| home vote against him.
Carnegie shows what protection does for
| the laboring man.
