Opposed the Stock Law.

Ed. PRESS: / desire to state
through the columns of your pa
per that l am opposed to the stock
law, and have my doubts about
the majority of the farmers of
Hurricane precinct being in favor
of it.
| have talked to four farmers of
Illinois concerning the law, and
three of them are opposed to it. 1t
is a State law there and does not
give satisfaction, and we could not
expect it to give satisfaction by
having it enacted in one or two
precincts in the county. You have
a stock law in Marion and | OBJ
serve it does not give universal
satisfaction. j. j. Thomas.

An Appreciated Gift.

The editor of the Press is in
receipt of a sack of white Swan
-four manufactured by the City
Mills of this place. We must say
that finer -four was never made
anywhere by any mill. The bis
cult are winter, the cake more de-
licious, the bread is more palatable
since receiving this greatly appre-
ciated gift than before. This
brand of -four is a great credit to
the Mills and a testimony to the
good management; the skill, the
thorough understanding of every
point of the business, that the
makers undoubtedly possess.
Capable, experienced and skilled,
they are placing the best of -four
on the market. However profuse
may be our thanks for the gift,
they cannot exceed in number or
sincerity onr honest praises of the
trustworthy, enterprising and en-
ergetic company that places this
excellent product within the reach
of our people.

THE CLARK AUCTION
Attended by a Large Crowd, but
No Sale was Effected.

A large crowd attended DR.. j
X. Clark's auction sale of building
lots in East Marion last Friday
The lots were all bid off, but as
they did not bring as much as the
owner thought they were worth he
refused to confirm the sale. The
same is true as to the roller mill
and planning mill. The lots were
then offered for sale in BODY and
were knocked down to Mr.. j. H.
Morse. But this sale was also re-
jeoted by DR.. Clark. Mr.. Morse
was also the highest and best bid
der for a one-half interest in the
roller mills but the trade was not
consummated.
These lots are in the most desir-
able building location in Marion,
and DR.. Clark is not willing to part
with them at a sacrifice, but will
sell one or all of them at reas-
enable price.

THE STOCK LAW.
Some Expressions as to Enact.
ing it in This County.

Ed PREss.-I am glad to note
that my fellow-farmers and coun,
trymen are in my opinion awaken
ing to their best interest in advo-
eating the stock law, and what
will benefit one farmer will equal
ly help the other. The stock law
will not prevent any one from
raising stock, the same that he
does today, but l will say that he
will materially improve the quality
of the stock, which will insure
better prices and at less expense
to everybody concerned, to say
nothing of the great saving, there
would be in labor and material and
the disgraceful appearance OF
badly grown up and neglected
fence corners which really are of
no earthly benefit, but instead a
useless expense in the majority of
cases. Should my farmer friends
travel through their neighbor
states they could not help to note
with pride and approval the splen-
did appearance of the country
where the stock law is in force and
why not profit by their example
and remove all unnecessary fenc-
ing and raise something in it's
stead that will benefit us and i'm
prove our land.
Sincerely yours,
~ W. r. Cruce.
