with the outside world, which,
at the present prices, would mean lO,O0O
bushels Of potatoes or 10000 lbs. OF wool.
In view Of the expense to which the town
graph company ought at least to make an |
effort to procure an operator to succeed
Miss Corwin.
We understand that the recent Prohibi- |
tion county convention honored our

making him its candidate for states at
toruey' II elected, Mr.. Tarbell will know
no North or South and will administer |
the law without regard to age, sex, habits,
or previous condition OF servituue. We |
do not know his attitude to the tariff, the |
currency and the other burning questions |
Of the hour, but, from the fact OF his nom.
nation by Prohibition convention, we
take it that he is unalterably opposed to |
the free and unlimited vintage OF hard ci-
der.
