O'BleneSs of the Chaflin Clarion,
who is also township assessor, thinks
he has found the champion liar. He
says: "We have about completed the
township assessment, and although
we were we'll posted on the possibilI-
ties of this great and grand country,
we must confess that our understand
ing of what might really be done, is
but little in advance of the lowest
primary grade. Why, sir, we actual
ly found an individual that plowed
and sOwed 25O acres of wheat with one
two-hOrse team, and ali the tools he
used were a small walking plow and
Shoe drill and both of these old and
valueleSS. With d garden hoe or some
other implement that was too old to
list this same fellow raised some corn
which was SO large that a crib 12x14
and 10 feet high wouldn't hold but so
bushels of it,, Great country this.
These figures are true (?) because the
fellow who ought to know, was WILL
ing to and actually did state them as
facts over his own signature which
was affixed to an official oath. Secre-
tary COburn should certainly spread
a few of such items on the pages of
his next annual report. Besides serv-
ing as boom advertising it would
also prove to the world that he is en-
titled to the championship liar gold

Every editor has received them, says
an exchange. The postmaster is not
to blame. For instance, there was a
man by the name Of-well, say Tom
Short, who sent us three notices to
stop his paper; he didn't want it any
longer We wondered what was the
matter. Upon Investigating the sub
scription book we found Tom $40
short. He never had paid a cent, and
yet he stopped the paper as a matter
of economy to us. He didn't want us
to lose any more by him. A few days
afterward Short was at church, and
his melodious tenor rang out in that
old soul stirring song "Jesus Paid 1t
ALL" He might have been mistaken,
but his earnestness impressed us; so
the next day we sent him receipt in
full, begging his pardon for not know
ing that he had made an assignment
to the Lord.-Galena Republican.
