Quincy district, and erstwhile MEM

Hancock county, one of 210 acres east
of Warsaw, and one of 800 acres south
of Warsaw. When not engaged on

like a hired man and can make u fur
row as straight as a taut rope. He
knows every nook and corner of his
landed possessions, and the men on
the farms all like to have him around.
They wanted to go to the Carthage
fair and asked his permission He
told them that the land was liable
to get too dry to pillow, but that
as the fair came only once year
he would have to let them take day
dentally il made the colonel more sure
than ever of 4 dozen or more votes in
case he should ever need them. While
cultivating the soil the colonel never
forgets that he is a politician and that
he has warm spot in his heart for
Washington and its allurements.

A practice which has occasioned
considerable comment and many eX-

that which has developed in some
parts of the city of making alleys out
of paved business streets, by leaving
wagons standing on them over night.
Not only do these abandoned convey
