LIMESTONE.

As there have been SO many coniec-
lures as to the author of my last letter
from this place, and SO, many amusing
uncomplimenting remarks made about
it in the authors presence, l am con
strained to try again. In the first place
let me advise my friends to withhold
their criticisms until they know the
author and then they will Nv old giving
an unkind cut. The political situation
at this place remains about the same.
/ will venture to predictas to the ticket
after the convention, and see how far
/ miss it, towel: For Congress, Brown
low for State Senator, Butler; for
Floater, Latture; for Circuit Judge,
Campbell; for Prosecuting Attorney,
Harmon; for Chancellor, Smith. All
of the above are not our choice, but we
believe they will get there. Every
mans favorite horse does not always
win the race. OF those of Wash
ington County are on choice. Some of
the foregoing have no strength in this
section at all that I know of, but we
a not expect to get more than two OF
the offices mentioned. We will also
venture q prediction on the county
ticket; for Sheriff, Martin; Tor County
Court Clerk, Leah; for Circuit Court
Clerk Cooper; for Trustee, Mathes; fol
Register, Stuart. Now watch out, Re
publicans, if you don't have to vote fol
the above, unless you stripe your tick
ct; and, by the way, can a man be con
sidered a true Republican If he is in the
habit of stripping his ticket? There ii

fined to the house are our good citizens

......A few of the Eighth and Ninth Grade

the walk was not very enjoyable, for one Of
their number suddenly became very sick,
while another tainted 80. VIII Reeves is still

Catarrh Can Not be Cured

with local applications, as they can not
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces. Halls
t.atarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
1t was prescribed by n of the best
physicians in this country for years,
and is a regular prescription. 1t is COM
posed of the best tonics known, COM
bined with the best blood purifiers, act

Some time ago a few Of urinterested
citizens, including Tate l.. Earnest, j.
M. Fink, j. B. Simpson and others,
raised a sum to be used in the purchase
of quails to stock some of the farms in
this county. So far about five or six
dozen have been received and turned
out on some of the farms selected as
suitable localities. 1t is hoped that the
people in the neighborhoods in which
the birds have been liberated will take
sufficient interest in the matter to see
that they are afforded legal protection,
and if needed given somefood although
the latter will not likely be necessary
The move is one that is creditable to
the gentlemen concerned and should
meet with appreciation from all.

just published some interesting figures

In January, 1872, the population was
IS, Ill 900; in December. 1880, 1t had in

of increase II 1873 per 1000, while In
most European countries Il Il between
six and nine, and In France and Spain

the number of births in japan 10 lower
than in most civilized countries, except
France, and that the number of illegiti-
mate children Is smaller there than In
European states. He therefore At
tributes the great increase Of the popu-

From the tables which he gives, he in
