Commissioners Proceedings.

The board Of commissioners are meet
ing this week. So far they have only
taken up routine business. Proceedings
will be published next week.
Petition to Divide st. Joseph.
A petition was. filed with the county
board, on Wednesday, signed by thirty
six names, praying for the setting off
twenty-three sections, being the eastern
three miles of the township of St. JOS
eph, and annexing the same to the town
ship of Neche.. The reason given is
the convenience of the people living in
the territory described. The real cause
is the fact of the village Of Neche being
SO close to the township line, that the
interests of the people in eastern st. Joe
naturally center that way, and voters liv-
ing in the suburbs of Neche have to go
to Leroy IL miles to vote or attend meet
ings of the supervisors. 1t is understood
very few living i'll the proposed cession
are opposed.
St. Joseph is very large township be-
ing two congressional townships east
and west and township and a fraction
north and south. If this division is not
made it is quite probable that in time two
townships would be formed, but if the
proposed arrangement is carried out,
then the remainder would be rather
small to divide again. 1t is understood
that vigorous fight will be made against
the cession by the remainder of St. Jos
eph, at the hearing which will likely be
set at the next meeting of the county
board sometime in the latter part Of May.
Attorney Brynjolfson has been engaged
by those opposed to the secession.

HIS HALO OF GLORY FADED.
The Atlanta Negro not Present at
the Trial of CzolgOsz.

Jim" Parker's halo of glory has
faded. AS the Atlanta Constitution
notes, when the roll of witnesses was
called in the Buffalo courtroom, his
name was not there. When the witness
es on the stand were questioned, they
had DO knowledge Of the gallant color
ed man. He had been telling such
hair raising st ,ries Of his owl heroisn ,
how he had throttied the villain ana
prevented the firing of another
shot at the president, that it was
thought he would be one of the central
figures in the trial. But when the test
came Parker was not in sight. "The
only sure-enough thing about jim, !"
says the Constitution is that he reg
listers from Atlanta" There can be no
doubt about that. He carries the trade
mark of that city. If he were a bottle
Atlanta's name would be blown in the
glass. He is imbuebed with the charac-
teristc Atlanta spirit, of which wit
has said, sit is h on dress parade,
but not present in the engagement. y

proved successful up to now. have a
fine herd of hogs, with no sign of dis
ease among them, while my neighbors
have lost many. give the remedy be-
low 1t is simple and cheap, ANY one
of your readers who may wish can use
it if they Gaze to
zone ounce sulphuric acid and four
ounces carbonate iron. Put in half
gallon of water; mix we'll bv shaking
the vessel. Give two tablespoonfuls of
the mixture to ten hogs in sl0Ds twice
week. Increase the medicine at this
ratio as the number OF hogs increase.
Il also use spirits of turpentine in
medicating hogs-one gill mixed with

shelled corn for forty or fifty head once

remedies in the sicItS season in the

"Surely the hog crop ought to be

than at any time in twenty years. Very
