JOSLIN.

| JOsLIN. March S.-James Cook,
who had some trouble with his ten
ant last year. has this year leased his
farm to Mr.. Gueldenpfenning. of
Hampton township. 1t is satd the
| former tenant has served notice upon
| the latter to leave the premises,
claiming to have a 5-yoar lease. z -
It is reported that the Joslin
creamery is likely to change hands
in the rear future.
Rev. Eve, of the United Brethren
church, saws ..he has driven his horse
and cutter to his appointments 10
Sundays in succession
F. f. Crompton has still two good
Young horses for sale. One is four
and and the other five years OF age.
They will work single or double and
are excellent roadsters.
On the first OF March Mr.. Odell
served papers upon Mr.. wainwright
that he intended to move upon the
place the coming Thursday. The
case seems to be somewhat compli-
Gated.
Some time ago Mrs. Tim Buckley
leased her fern to Mr.. Odeli. of Port
Byron. Mr.. Odell failing to give Sc
curity for the rent she then leased
her farm to Frank Wainwright.
of Hampton township. who moved
upon and has possession of the farm.
George Oliver leased house and
farm to F. f. Crompton for year,
and in order to bind the bargain,
paid so toward the rent. In Il
couple of days George turned up and
said that his wife was kicking. -
was tired of farming-and he wanted
his money back. So there seems to
be nothing but trouble all the way
round.
On Wednesday last in the railway
depot at Joslin we were severely
taken to task by one of our dear re-
publican friends for having the pre-
sumption and audacity to criticiSe
republican government official. and
especially the president of the United
States. We admitted that it might
be very wicked to do so. viewed from
republican standpoint. but as our
friend was leaving upon the train.
conversation upon that topic was cut
short. Nevertheless. as orr friend
informed us that he was Il subscriber
of the ARGUS and read our humble
communication. | have a few words
to say in explanation. As | see 1t
the trouble and grievance is right
here: The republican party has been
so long in Office that it not only
fancies itself the salt of the earth,
but that it is the government of the
United States and that it should re
oil N
been so long in office that it has be
come arrogant and abusive, and a
vote cast for any other party was a
vote thrown away, and as Robert In
gersol said in n campaign speech,
that although he would not claim
that all democrats We're traitors and
horse thieves, yet all horse thieves
and traitors were democrats. that
the prohibitionists were nothing
but democratic side show COM
pared to the sore headed otfice-seekers
and cranks. whose speakers and lee
turers were all paid by the demo-
cratic party. In fact, to make long
story short-that the only road to
heaven lay through the republican
party. And. although the republicans
themselves have pulled their own
wirwam over their own heads. and
the party has been defeated and
showed under by the actions of its
own pure and immaculate leaders.
Nevertheless with malice and hatred
they attribute their defeat to prohi-
bitionists, and pronounce as traitors
all those who dared to vote any other
but republican ticket. 1t fact. it is
n standing claim that the republican
party is the great moral and temper
ance party. and that that party has
done all for temperance that ever has
been done. and you might as well try
to block up the falls of Niagara with
wagon load of sawdust as to try to
convince them to the contrary.
MULTUM IN PARyO.
