The recent rains done much damage

W. L. Mauler has one of the finest

The arch bridge across Blood creek

McCarthy's sale last Saturday was
we'll patronized, and goods sold at
good prices. We learn Mack intends
to soon leave Grant Township for
good and his many friends will be
sorry to learn this, he being good
citizen and a good mechanic will be
greatly missed by the people of these
parts.
There seems 10 be many estimates

ten, some fifteen and twenty. But
no one knows how many bushels per
acre farmers will thresh. Our

shells per acre with more five acre
fields then twenty.

Office, Barton county not excepted.
We here write it upin rhyme the
way it goes:
For Office number sends out his name
And number two likewise will do the same.
Soon they will number up to nine or ten
Many being good and worthy men.
If there were offices for every one
Then for the candidates it would be fun,
And save them many weary, sleepless nights,
AS well as many wOrdy political fights.
| But the offices to fill being SO few
Keeps the whole push in a hot, nervous stew,
For tear of getting scooped. or badly left,
And of the wished for Office be bereft.
| So welcome candidates to come around;
For to shake voters by the hand they're bound
And those whe get defeated may live through
| Although, alas! they will feel mighty blue.
| The way our party ought, by right, to do,
Is nominate men, honest, tried aud true
Then stand by them through thick and thin,
And, by the gods they're sure to win.
