The article entitled, "High Prices
and Prosperity" should have been
credited to the Chicago Dispatch. from
which it was taken. 1t appears on
second page under the editorial head
and is perhaps more worthy of your
attention than if prepared by the editor
of the PEE DEE.
Mr.. II. L. Reed has added an elegant
veranda to the east front OF his resi-
dence, and another at the south side
with vestibule and storm door for
winter use. He will have cement
walk put down to each approach. His
veranda is very beautiful and adds
much to the appearance of his home.
MIR. VIM. Grove, of Howard Center,
died Sunday, Sept. 26, aged about SO
years. He had been in poor health for
nearly or quite two years. A widow
and several children survive and
mourn him. Deceased was an honest
man, a good neighbor and citizen, be-
loved by his family and will be
mourned by all who knew him. The

ment being in st. Joseph's cemetery.
An injunction has been issued by
Judge Clyde, of Mitchell county, to
restrain b. F. Wright from publishing
Or having published certain corrupt
and dlshonorable letters from John H.
Grear, VIM. b. Allison, and Thomas
Updegratf, which letters have come in
to the possession of Mr.. Wright. Mr..
Clyde's services as the issuer of In
functions will be in active demand if
he succeeds in restraining the press
from mentioning the prevailing
rottenness in Mitchell county, in
Winneshiek county and In the state at
large. Perhaps the corrupt judges of
the country would like to see old John
Adams Seditlon laws again in force.
Government by injunction means de-
struction to the liberty of the citizens
and of the freedom of the press.
Mr.. Bernard Malone, whose home is
about two miles southeast of Lourdes,
met with a severe accident Monday
evening, which will probably make
him cripple for the rest of his life.
He was hauling a load OF lumber from
Elma and when near the old town one
OF the wheels of his wagon broke down
and while trying to support the axle
the load slipped off and lit on his
ankle, completely severing the ankle
joint and smashing the foot badly. It'll
may become necessary to amputate
the foot and at best it will be badly
crippled. Mr.. Malone is poor man
with large family and deserves the
sympathy and assistance OF his fellow
men......J. P. Long made us visit on
Monday and in questioning him re-
garding crops we elected the following
information: His corn is in prime con-
dition, hard and ripe, and will go 40
bushels or over to the acre. He looks
for better price than 22c. He raised |
1879 bushels of No. hard Bluestem
wheat, from which he expects to make
his flour the coming year. Never
raised any better wheat even in the
old wheat days. 1t went 20 bushels
to the acre and was sown on ground
that had grown inlet last year and was
mixed with timothy seed, the latter
being added at about the rate of eight
quarts to the acre. This, he believes,
is what kept the chinch bugs from
destroying the wheat crop. Looks for
many farmers to SOW ten to twenty
acres of wheat each and that they will
have fair success in making the crop
profitable. E!ma News-Register.
