your worthy sheet and seldom seeing an
item from our quaint old village Of Chap
tico would deem IL an especial privilege in
your allowing the insertion u this to assist
in preventing our section from passing into
complete obscurity.
We have been greatly interested O. late
in watching the proceedings OF the tax
payers meetings. We heartily commend
their actions in every particular. knowing
that implicit confidence can be placed in
the gentlemen who are actively engaged in
agitating the question Of tax reduction and
that any step they may take win be In the
right direction TO relieve a1negneased and
tax-burdened people. The kigh tar rate
is undoubtedly one of the main causes why
immigration is not turned in our direction
and until we get the thrifty settlers to come
among us we will fail to flourish.
la Grippe, of an exceedingly severe
form is prevalent among our people and in
q number of cases has proven fatal partic-
ularly among the older population. Pneu-
monia also holds sway thereby giving the
NJ. DIS. chance to get in some Of their
good work.
We are pleased to note, after long alb
sence, again with rs, the familiar faces of
Messrs. T. g. and g. r. Reeves, who, for
the past seven years, have been residing
near Mexico, Mo. They give. rs glow
ing description of that great West which
has tendency to bring Horace Greeley's
advice into reqrisition. If we could pre-.
vail upon them to stay among as and ex-
emplify their seven years experience in
the "modus operandi" of their western
brethren we would be greatly benefited.
They are on visit to their parents and
friends near this village.
We are greatly indebted to those who
were instrumental in procuring money

seems we are entering the verge Of civil
zation by being allowed some Of the con-
veniences of to-day. Mrs. NJ. v. Love has
been reappointed post-mistress which is q
great source of qualification to us. BY her
re-appointment the Office is still continued
in quiet part Of the village and by ladies
who are ever ready with smiling faces and
willing hands to distribute the postal mat
ter to its patrons. Hoping that have not
encroached too extensively upon your

Messrs. Editors ALLOW me space in

as have heard TO differ with these gentle

commenting reduction of in the pay of
such minor offices, when such thousands
could be saved by reducing the number of
judges on the bench as well as their luxu-
rious salaries and also skim little of the
oil from the other tat places in rotation.
In my humble opinion another great saw
ing to the State would be TO dispense with
the grand inquest which is too often used
to serve the secret personal prejudices of
those who prefer darkness 20 light. Why
not, If man commits an offence against
the laws Of our land. take him before
Justice of the Peace ~ give such bail as
may be requisite for the prosecution of his
case at the next term Of court. And last,
but not least is the need Of change in

that viii make reads, rather than keep up
the petty patchwork and issue such a lot
Of paper as would puzzle Chicago law

of our court Dispense with this rotten
paper and we can well afford to dispense
with two of our honorable bodies; let US
have team and implements and hire men
by the month and We viii not only save
80 per cent, but such hands would be will
ing TO devote their full time to their road
work instead of doing their morning work
at home and putting in such time as they
can spare in serving their county.
Lastly, one Of the most important duties
of our next Legislature Ii 10 enact such
laws as will follow the precep,s Of the Car
olinas by using convict labor on our public
roads, instead of mourning such expense
as we have to bear in transmitting said con-

the other hand the children born of the
union were to be thoroughly educated in

For 16 years the Cherif kept his part of

severe condemnation of his countrymen for
his marrying an unbeliever and then the
crash came. He met beautiful Young girl
of sacred caste like himself and straightWay
married her. In the meantime he tried for
a divorce from his English cherifer, failed,
but refused to make full payment of the
sum stipulated, although providing some
thing for his discarded spouse. However.
within the last IL months his affection for
his foreign wife seems to have returned in
a degree. They were often seen together.

Perhaps a Poet Laureate.

So long as the poet laurea:eship of Eng
land is vacant quantity and so long as the
appointee remains q matter of conjecture,
just SO long will the subject be one of in
terest. About the most recent suggestion
is the aged Philip James Bailey, certainly
one of the most gifted of-living English
poets. Mr.. Bailey is not very we'll known
to the people of the present day, as he has
not produced anything worth talking about
for quarter of a century at least, and even
at any time his works have been few and
far between.
''The Universal Hymn" published in
1867, was Mr.. Bailey's last work. 1t made
its appearance with two others. 1.-THE Mys-
tIc'' and ''The Age" The three named,
with another given the public II years be-
fore called ''The Angel World" have been
very highly spoken Of BY some
critics, but none attained the fame
of 'Festus," his earliest and best
known work. One can scarcely realize

1889; no less than SO years ago. He had
commenced it in 1886, when but 20 years of
age. 1t gave him immediate fame in his
own country. while in America, the people
went fairly wild over it. He was spoken of
as the coming Shakespeare, Milton orGoethe,
as the humor seized his partisans II was
contended BY the calmer. critics that such
lavish praise would do the young poet last

rest on his prematurely acquired laurels, his
few later works, in not single case, being in
any sense comparable with his first, while

but its incongruity and extravagance are
such, that when one LAYS it down finished,
the feeling of admiration is marred with
dissatisfaction, not to say disgust.
