GREENWOOD.

The Inauguration and town meeting
are both past events, and the Union Is
thought to be safe for another year; and
than IL would be had 1.-THE other Teller
been inaugurated we verify believe; al
though there were those who declared
that II Mckinley was chosen president
for another four years our country
would all 90 to the dickens before the
end of that time. But since the Union
has already cost quite number OF lives,
to say nothing of other kinds of treasure,
let US hope and pray that the above
prophecy will not prove true.
The hope your Bryant's Pond CORE
spondent expressed, that there would
not be snow storm on the next Pomona
meeting day, was only about one-half
realized. About eight inches of snow
fell the night previous, and the next day
about noon it set In showing again, and
so continued until about 4 O'Clock, thus
giving the most Of the people the priv
lege Of going home in snow storm as
usual.
The snow that fell Monday night was
very damp, and consequently adhered to
everything it touched, thus giving
nature rather sublime appearance and
probably Walter Arkett was not the
only artist who was out taking views the
next morning.
Thanks to our friends who sent US q
copy of the American Citizen and Lewis
ton Journal magazine. G. E. G. in
quires in the latter who the author is of

some fifteen years ago, and II G. E. g..
will call at the Bennett place we will
introduce him to the humble parsonage
who wrote it, and also present him with
copy of the same, as he requested.
Also indebted to 81. G. Bacon Of
Woodstock for a pamphlet written by

Fred Bryant paid his folks brief
visit last Saturday. He Is still at work

ing agricultural implements, where he

toward swelling Uncle Sans family. He
says that while almost everything used
in family is high, clothing is an excep-
ton and very cheap.

The OWNING ROD.

We were greatly interested in No
Wizards article on divining rods. BE
must be of peculiar makeup from his
own description of his experiences. Our
feelings partake more Of n sensation oil
foolishness (Which, by the way, is rather
NATURALLY, that the thing will not admit
of an explanation.
But in an extended life, when the SUM-
ming up comes, and l am asked, what
have YOU done?' / can think of nothing
better than to say: II have left three
permanent wells behind, that those who
come after me, whether wise men or
fools, may cool their parched tongues"

The committee on agriculture, rs the
result OF their investigation OF Secretary
Mekeen's administration, reported their
findings 70 the senate Thursday. Oae
OF their findings Is that the board OF
agriculture is Of very little service any
way. They recommend the abolition OF
the board, and the establishment In its
stead of the office Of commissioner OF
agriculture. The commissioners shall
be chosen by the legislature, shall
perform all the duties now belong
ing to the board, and shall receive
the same salary now paid the sec
rotary, $500, with $500 allowance
for expenses in place of the $500 now
allowed. IL is anticipated that the bill
will pass, but il will not take effect until
