HE people of this country
are now very much exercised
with reference to questions re
lating to town lots and farm
leases. This is but natural and
proper; but, after all that we
say and do, we are not in a
condition to help ourselves
much. We have no representa-
tive and no voice in congress
and must take what is given us
and do the best we can with it.
Therefore, it is not the part of
wisdom for our people to worry
too much about such matters.
Every one recognizes that we
are on the point Of change.
In fact the change has already
begun. This change will nee
essarily injure some persons
and will Inconvenience many.
If not all. 1t is impossible to
make any change without do
ing this. When this change
has been made we will then
have an established order of af-
fairs upon which every one can
rely. While we should do all
that we can to see that this
change Injuries US as little as
possible, we should not worry
over these matters too much.

There was trouble in the camI
of the cOlored grand lodge of Ma.

Saturday morning. An investiga.

the disappearance of their late

the road operated by the receiver. Harris
denounced the present plan to sell the
