The Street Crossings.

e-5 iAlhsicscrossings are a dis.
g6ace to the city and'are an abomina-
tica to al; pedestrians. The people
owning property along the streets
where walks have been ordered and
established are required to maintain
them in clean and passable condition,
while the crossings, leading to the
walks maintained by individual own
ers are permitted to be and remain a
sea of mud and slush. In some parts
OF the city the crossings are at best
one sea of dirt and mud. Now it seems
to all reasonable people and tax pay
ers, that the city should make its
crossings and maintain them in as
good condition as the walks they con-
meet. The expense of cleaning the
mud from the crossing in the business
part of the city would involve but a
triae. One person employed while
the muddy season lasts could keep not
only the walks there, but on the streets
where most teams pass, in good con-
dition and it should be done in the In
terest of public decency.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Husking or a Mortgage.

The women of the Christian church
at Marion, Kan, have q unique scheme
to pay OFF the mortgage on the church
property. Last spring they rented ~
acres Of valley just outside the city lim-I
Its, taking lease of the land in regulaH
form for three years, with privileges
Of five. They planted it to corn, doing
much Of the planting and cultiyatine,
themselves. They have also been doinN
most of the husking. During the plessi
ant weather bevy Of them would g0
out, take their meals with them and
husk corn all day. Some OF the ladies'
have developed great corn-husAng abii.
tiles. One Of them, it is said, huskedl
over 80 bushels in day. They hare
now finished husldng and find that tho
yield has been over 80 bushels to tho
aore. AS a result Of their labors thsy1
have 1000 bushels Of fine corn, and ID
is all cribbed. The use Of the stoekdeid
this winter has been sold for $50 to d;
cattleman and they have contracted
the cobs at 81 per load. They intend to|
have lot Of corn ground into meaid
which they will sell. The entire corn

and they are feeling quite iubilant over
the success Of their venture. Thk ~

Reply to ]. NJ. Hunter.

Permit me to say to the public
through the colums of the PLAIN
DEALER, that tho 81. M. Hunter" who
makes such war against the officers
of the Agricultural Society is no other
than gentleman (D who resides in
Cresco, who came to our fair with
John McHugh's horses. He claimed
he had no money with which to buy
tickets, so we permitted him to.dead-
headn his way in. When in, although
our feed bill was over $100, he had no
money with which to pay stall rent on
the horses and tits not paid yet. This
same j. NJ. Hunter is going about
town paying his bills by giving orders
on the Agricultural Society for the
premiums on Mr.. McHugh's horses,
premiums that Mr.. McHugh claims,
and has forbidden the officers of the
society paying to Mr.. Hunter, OF Mr..
McHugh claims the premiums, why
is he not, liable for the unpaid en-
trance fees, feed and stall rent due?
Editor PLAIN DEALER.) This is the
man who places the officers OF
the society under ban of suspicion. J"
While do not think this man Hunt
er who believes this society ought to
pay him whether he pays them or not
ever wrote or dictated the "Notice"
in the P. D., it seems but right that
the public ought to know who this
man is.
It might also be stated here that tho
present Offices Of the Agricultural So
ciety do not have to be called upon by
the "public" to make their "report"
required by law.
Now as to the .sdisposal Of the 4th
of July money Of 1871 will refer j..
Nj. to last years. annual report which
he has forgotten or did not read.

There is q man in Cresco soliciting
names to a remonstrance against the
passage OF a manufacturers bill. Now
that Is dishonest, because the repub-
lican leaders pledged such a measure
to the Germans for their support OF
Mckinley, and "sound money!. The
same person is soliciting orders for
fruit trees, shrubbery and plants from
New York. A man with money to
throw away can do it by ordering
New York trees for Iowa growth, nine
tenths Of which are not worth plant
ing in Iowa. The best fruit trees for
Iowa are grown in Iowa. Bents & Up
ton or j. B. Mitchell can ill orders in
any quantity desired and with better
stock for Iowa thar can be obtained
from New York. They are here and
can be found if there is anything
wrong. Patronize them.
