district, signed by every white voter in said district, so far as we know. We don't propose to re- quire any one to tear down their fences and build wire fences, neither do We propose to require those that have good ten rail fences to reduce them to a post and five rails. The law as l understand makes no such requirements. The law requires that hogs, sheep and goats be kept up by the owners thereof, and that the fences be sucn as to keep larger animals. such as horses and cows out of the fields in which crops are cultivat- ed. As evidence of fairness to those bordering on the East boundry line of our proposed fenc- ing district, l am assisting in mak- ing as near hog proof fence as you will find in Drew county. The question is, is it cheaper to fence up twenty or thirty head of hogs and a few sheep and goats or to keep up fences around 1900 or two thousand acres of land. With due respect to all who may differ with me l ask that right be done the in- terested persons of our neighbor- hood under the law, and all others so situated.

THE PRESS AND THE PEOPLE.

Some people fain to believe and therefore contend that the news papers will elect Jeff Davis, Gov ernor, because they are against him. This proposition or sug- gestion is, in the abstract, not only astounding but, in reality absurd. If the papers are in fluenced in their course by sinis- ter motives and are untruthful in their criticism of the Govern or, then, as a just rebuke to such reprehensible conduct, the peo. pie would be more than justified in again honoring Mir. Davis in his ambitious desires; but If on the other hand what the papers say of him as a public official be true, and such charges are sui fcient..to disqualify him for the high and honorable office of Governor, then for the people to vote for him because. forsooth, the papers are against him and tor no other reason, would be a prostitution of the ballot to the basest and most uniustihable ends.

the hydra-head of anarchy, mis- rule and gross incompetency stalks abroad in the land, both the press and the people have a solemn duty to perform. 1t Is the duty of the press to truth fully detail all the important facts whereby the people may intelligently pass upon the issue involved. It is the duty of the people to seek all the available information possible and then decide for the best interest of their country. If from admitted and proven facts Mir. Davis IS unworthy of their support they should vote against him, even If every newspaper in the State was against him.
 The newspaper that is truth ful and relies upon facts is never swaved in it's devotion to its constituency by prejudice or pop ular clamor. It IS not mere meteor in the political sky, to scintilate for a moment and then pass away; but 1t IS one of the fixed stars whose mission IS to point out at all times and under all circumstance the true path, as it sees it. The unpurchas- able, the truthful and the reli- able press is the bulwark of the liberties of the people. Without it the misconduct of your public officials would never be known :, without it your treasury would be footed, your land despoiled and your heritage swept away. Deride it if you will, vote for Jeff Davis. for no other reason than because the press is against him, if you so desire; but just as sure as the night follows day, it is to the truthful, the bold, the unprejudiced and unpurchasable press that you will have to turn to find your bearings, sooner or later.
 Truth crushed to earth will
 rise again,
 The eternal years of God are
 hers.
 But error, wounded, writhes in
 pain
 And dies among her worship

THE COUNTRY AGAINST THE
 TOWNS.


 It is almost an every day oc- curence that one can hear the re mark, that some candidate is all rightin the towns, but the coun- try people are against him. Now, If this assertion is really true there should be a reason for 1t. The best man, for a given office, ought always to be the one chosen. and since the responsi- bility of this selection falls upon both town and country people alike, We fail to understand why there should be any difference between them, except the mere difference of judgment, which could, in the very nature of things, effect only individuals and not classes. But while there may be some grounds for the as- sertion 1t is not altogether true, for the people of the towns ire quently differ as to men and measures, unless the desparitv is so great that "even a way fairing man, though a fool could not err therein :" and the same can, also. truthfullv be said about the country people.
 The trouble is with the un- thinking, unreasoning mind, and this leads to the result that 1t sometimes happens that a ma iority of the country people are arrayed against the majority of the town people In case of the town people no effort is ever made by demagogic candidate to prejudice them against coun- try people, while on the other hand, the blatant blatherskite, who las naught to commend him to respectful consideration uses every artifce, trick and scheme to work upon the preju- dices of the country people, and try and induce them to believe that if majority in the towns are one way they ought to be the other way. Now. as intjmated already such tactics have no in- fuence on a countrymau who re fleets and reasons. He asks him. self the question, if 1t be true that the town people are in ia vor of this or that candidate for this or that office, why should they be? He, as a thinking and reasonable being, goes to work lD dSCSl ldlll tilCll ISdSoilS, anu when learning them, if they com port with his own sense of right and justice, does not discard a candidate because the town peo- pie favor his candidacy. He knows full well that what will benefit the town people will ben eft the country people. they all having onecommon country, one flag and the same laws. He knows that If the town people are unanimous, or nearly so, for a man for certain office 1t Is be- cause they believe he is the prop CT man for it, and to fill 1t in the interest of the whole people In conclusion we desire to say that the contemptible vagabond who goes about over the country try ing to array one class of people against another deserves the condemnation of all honest men.
