the gift of this powerful organization
were voluntarily rendered southern men,
by a delegation composed almost entirely
OF eastern and western representatives,
and the further fact that the coming ses-
sion Of the congress vii be more largely
attended by northern and western dele
gates than any session I'm the past p
years existence OF the organization, en-
phasizes the conclusion that northern
farmers particularly desire the cultiva-
ton Of more friendly relations with those
OF the south. We viii meet them with the
same spirit and all combine in an ener-
getic and fraternal movement for the up
building OF the vast agricultural interests
OF our country. The south has never fall
ed in broadmindedness Of purpose nor
in the prompt display OF the highest ele-
ments OF patriotic motives. The days or
individual and sectional action Is rapid
IL being relegated TO the past, while the
cultivation OF a closer relationship along
the lines Of cooperative action Is fast
being inculcated in the minds OF our peo-
pie an over the country. The success OF
agriculture as a whole means the better
rnent Of each individuals financial condi-
ton, and Il is to that double end we must
labor in the years 10 come. That the COM

THE VICES OF BRITTANY.
BROOKLYN Eagle.


Having spent two summers in Brittany,
I find myself wondering that one can be so
near and yet so far from civilization; that
in this day ana generation. in a country
whose advanced thinkers lead the world.
there can be people so ignorant of all
that makes life acceptable to an enlight-
ened people. Their semi-civilized manner
of life and thought, however, viii not be
changed until the new generations are
taught in public schools that life is made
up Of duties which each godly person owes
to himself Take, for instance, the thing
that is next to godliness-cleanliness The
Bretons have not the least notion OF what,
it is. To get into their homes, which more
properly should be called huts. one must
step through a deep mire of muddy ma
nure, which rots there from years end
to years end. The pigs live with the peo-
pie and If the cows and oxen do not, 1t is
because they either cannot get into the
doors or they would take up too much
room in the small houses. The children
grow up like little savages until they are
put into the hands Of sisters to be taught
their letters. then the teaching that con-
Germs soul and body Is done by sisters who
know about life, health, the disciplining
of minds, the teaching Of truth and right
eousness hardly more than the parents,
Of these children do. Thus generation af-'
ter generation goes on with the same hab-
its, with the same vices. utterly ignorant
of progress, of enlightenment.
Drinking in Brittany is a scourge. The
soberest have their days in which they
usually get dead drunk. In Pont Aven I
had a woman come an hour in the evening
to do some work. She told me from the
beginning that she could not come on
Thursdays because she was obliged to go
and get her husband from the marchacd
de win, for that was the day he got
drunk You will find a common bedroom
in each house IN which the whole family
sleep. I have seen these rooms with a
bed in each corner In which mother, ia
Their, grandmother and grandfather and
six small children sleep and the pigs and
their family had a sty in the middle Of
the room. And yet 1t is said that Brit
tany is a moral country; but doubtless
their idea of morality is a broad one.

Eleven ~Lost Days"


In 1851 the British parliament awakened to
the inconvenience Of the unreformed calendar
and an act was passed fixing the beginning OF
was decided to call the first day OF the follow

as 1851 until March Is, and to bring time
straight Il was also decided TO consider the

The Street Paving Issue.

The chief stock in trade of the
opponents of the proposed street
paving, is that we are now bonded
too heavily and that the proposed
improvement will put us under
additional burden. These state
ments are unfair and untrue. In
the first place it must be under
stood that two-thirds of the cost
is paid by owners of abuttlng
property This will reduce the
taxation on the general duplicate
so that it will scarcely be felt by
the taxpayer, as these bonds will
come up for payment as the pres
ent bonds are being retired. The
prospects of our city point to pros
perity that justifies the outlay of
something for advertising purpose
that will also be of lasting value
to the town. The amount that
will be paid by the owners of
abutting property will add to the
value of the property so that these
owners will lose nothing.
The additional safety, plea sure
and convenience to all who use
the street, will recompense every
other taxpayer for his out
lay. There is actually no sound
argument against the issue and ]
hope the voters will show their
good judgement by decisive vote
in favor of paving.

on Main street or his property is
not on Main street, will have to
pay about so cents year more
taxes to me9t this expense, and
many of them spend more than
that for beer and cigars every
day. Every piece of property in
Logan will be enhanced in value
by paving Main street. 1t will
start our town upward instead of
downward. The money will all
be left at home, and our laboring
men get it for making the brick,
hauling and laying them.
1t is a disgrace to our town to
give it out to the world that we
are a great paving-brick manufac-
turing town, and then when brick
buyers come here, we seem to have
such little confidence in our own
brick that we prefer to wade
around in the mud rather than
use them. If this proposition is
voted down our town is killed
for the next ten years, and it
ought to be killed forever. Every
town in Ohio that is worthy of a
place on the map, has paved
streets except poor old, back woods
Logan and we will head petition
to have this town taken off the
map and to abandon all railroad
and mail service, if we bury our
selves in the mud any longer
There is $4,000 every year hauled
on and off of our streets, and why
not put the money into something
that will stick to the street in
stead Of to the wheels.
Kickers against it, did you say
OF course there are, but just size
up the kickers, and show us how
much they are doing for the town,
ever did do or ever will do, and
we will give them a column of ad-
vertising for every dollar they
ever spent to help the town. They
are dead ones. They would not
even make good cemetery trustees.
They prefer seeing dogfennel grow
ing in the streets than for Logan
to have the least resemblance to a
city, and this all because of the
so cents a year it will cost them.
Come on now, let's get together
and make a town of this. We all
have to live here, and why not
fix up and enjoy it while we live
for we will be long time dead,
We are sure to die after while and
then our children will pave the
streets with our money, and riding
around with rubber tires, will
laugh at us old fools for wading
through the mud. Now let's give
one long strong pull all together
and start our town upward. Pay
no attention to the kicker; he is a
dead one. If he must have mud
to wade in, let's force him into
Old Town creek.
