Pike would do well to follow. JAS.
Jackson is the mans name. and he
put up at his gate on the public road.
a sign board on which lie painted his
name aud the name of his farm, and
also the name and distance TO his
postoffice. Below these IL n black
board gu which he writes from tim.
to time wha; articles he has for snle.
aud lie says IL has resulted in his
making several good sales of stock
and grain. W. have before this sng.
gested that ON every farm there
should be a conspicuous sigr giving
the na'ne of the owner, aud the dis
lance TO the next town. The Linn
county man has given us one better
aud we accept his amendment. Hope
to see Montgomery count farmerf
follow suit.

That Cleveland Interview.

New York, Oct. 3l.-Gov. Stone, OF
Missouri, in charge OF the national
democratic csmpaigO, 10 the East, gave
out a statement today regarding the in
terview printed in the Philadelphia
Times yesterday 10 which ex.President
Grover Cleveland was made to say that
there would be landslide for Bryan
which interview was denied by Mr.
Cleveland. Gov. Stone said: "The
moment | saw that Cleveland interview
knew it was fake, and it was a job
by the republican managers.
"That newspaper man Black who
sold the interview to the Times, was no
doubt acting for the republican mar
ayers. They knew that Cleveland
would deny it and it hss reacted just
as they wished it to. As it stands, now.
it looks as though Cleveland does not
believe that Bryan will be elected. He
has denied story that he thought be
would be and that leads to the impress
sion that be believes the other way, be
does not wish to say what his opinions
are as to the result OF the election. The
whole thing was a republican job"
Cover or Stone said that he was
much encouraged at the outlook. He
said he had recently received many re.
assuring reports, especially from this
State, New Jersey aud Connecticut.
