tries TO create the impression that Com

ness and duty of the the sheriff TO make
duplication of the proclamation in at
least two newspapers ''repreSentingaS as far as
practicable the political parties which at
the preceding election cast the largest and
next largest number of votes" As a con-
sequence Commissioners Dillon and Kirby
had nothing TO do with giving out the pub
LEGATION of the election proclamation, and
if il appears in the FREEMAN and not in

The above iS not true for the reason that
Commissioner Lloyd knew that the print

fore he started for the Worlds Fair.
And further, the minutes Of the Com

Lloyd insisted on having a letting or not.
The minutes, at the time the printing of

show that Mr.. Lloyd not only did not in

he made no objection whatever. Mr.. Cos

A weather prognosticator issues his
proclamation in regard TO the coming win
ter, which he says will be a terror, with
deep SHOWS and cold weather. He bases
his prediction on natural signs. He says
the meadow moles are burrowing deeper
this year than for the last thirty years.
The melt of the hogs is whittier than
common, when means much snow and ice
The hair on horses fetlocks is longer and
thicker than common. The squirrels are
laying up bigger stores of food than usual;
corn husks are remarkably thick, as are
the onion skins. There is more moss on
the hickory saplings and spruce trees,
which is a sure sign. The goose bone says
the same thing, and the pin feathers on
chickens are more numerous than for
years.
