it was ripe. I'm goin' to have it put in
just as soon as our ground will work
good, and one year with another, I've
never seen season but what I got some
feed out of my corn. Our corn ground is
all ready. tell you the renter put lots
of good manure on it and plowed 1t not
too deep and dragged it fine. If we have
weather we're goln' to git some good
corn. Put in plenty of good seed, tell
HIM, so as to git stand of about three
stalks to the hill after the gophers have
got enough. Put the rows straight both
ways so as to plow all around the hills.

tell you was glad to see that picture
of John Mathieson in the TRANSCRIPT.
think he is one of the honestest men l
ever saw. I've seen him in lots of coun,

true blue, He never wanted anything for
himself but was always so kind and willln
to lend helpin' hand for the rest. I
don't know anybody that has helped the
boys more faithfully than he has. met
HIM in the Alliance meetln's too, when
thev didn't come to talk politics, and he
has got mighty sensible ideas about
farmln'. I second the motion to send
him to the legislator next trip. He amt

tell you if the people will only elect him,
Farmer Ben won't be ashamed to recog

men elected. Now let the bollot box
patrons turn his rule on HIM and elect

! I see that all over there is lots of talk
about good roads. Farmer Ben has had
his say about 'em. tell you the streets
of Austin speak for themselves on thi.
point I never seen such sloppy, bac
streets, I tell you the people want tt
see good substantial roads and streets
Why don't the council fix up the streets
with coal cinders from the depot or witt
gravel? Why don't they commence some
system about stonin' the streets? They
needn't try to turn the world upside
down in year, but they can have.a plar
and make good beginnin' and make i
good as far as they 60. Itell my neigh

haul gravel and fix up the roads goot
while they are about it. even If they die
