DluIhHns Ferry in Delaware township,
which rcpaifs wrra dome under the dlreC
tiun and supervision uf County Commits
sioner Albright with The aancin md an
proval of the other County Commissioners,
IL being represented that the job WIS a
small one and not large enough to war
rant the letting OF o contract the County
auditors nnd thet the bills for the said
repairs amounting 20 $3.50 SO are very ex-
wns nctuallY necessary and therefore
recommend that the County Commission
ors in the future let no bridge work OF any
description without first submitting the
same for bids and letting the same to the
lowest bidder.
The Auditors further recommend that
the County Commissioners exercise due
discretion In the settlement Of the nc
counts with the Assessors for the various
duties performed by them as required by
law We find that in several townships
the Assessors are charging excessive sums
for the amount Of,wOrk performed accord
ing to the assessed valuation.
And now the fifteenth day Of JANUARY,
A. ID. 1903, we, the undersigned Auditors
Of the County Of Pike and State OF Penn

WALLAcKs' FADMER makes IN earnest
appeal to tho farmers to save al their
corn crop, claiming that from present
indications feed for all stock will be very
scarce tho coming winter; nothing but
good hot weather can save the greater
portion. We quote tho following from
last weeks issue: The corn fields, under
any circumstances will have some value;
therefore, tho entire value should be
secured. This can be done only by har-
vesting tho corn crop. Therefore. We
urge our readers to get ready. II You
can buy . corn harvester, buy one. II
You can not, get sled. II you do not
like that, get . corn knife, but BY all
means harvest this corn crop. Make use
OF all the crop instead Of part OF it. In q
large per cent Of the crop the fodder may
possibly be the greatest part Of it. Why
do We urge this? Partly because it ID
always wise to gather mp tho Fragments
that nothing be lost. II the corn CROP
is a. short q IL is likely to be, corn will
be very high this year and cattle will
have to be brought through on clover
and timothy hay, Of which ~ have Z
good crop, and corn fodder. It will be
great calamity to tho entire Mississipp
valley il by reason Of shortage Of feed
cattle would have to be rushed to tht
market in great numbers. This woult
create shortage, % it did in 1884, tha'
would require two or three years at lees
to overcome. Fortunately, tho PASTURE
are good and arc likely to be good unit

COLUMBUS AND GRAND ISLAND.
The preliminaries to the campaign in
Nebraska will be completed by holding
the bifurcated fusion state conventions
this Tuesday, the democrats at Colum-
bus and tho populists at Grand Island.
The holding of the conventions at differ
ent places, although simultaneously,
seems to the outsider q little awkward,
but it was hoped by the planners to pro-
duce at least some appearance OF indie
pendent action.
Everybody in Nebraska, however, per-
fectly understands the purpose. The
plan is to continue this year the fusion
which has been carried on for years. No
one has any doubt the plan will he car
ried out, although there may be consid-
cradle believing over the long distance
phone between Columbus and Grand
Island. The populists, all that are left
Of them, have hardly any choice, under
the circumstances. The Old-line sincere
pOpulist element is confused and nom
plussed by the reorganization Of the dem
ocratic party, but their sctual leadership
10 in the hands OF mon who have axes to
grind. They will undoubtedly fuse.
Those republican leaders in Nebraska
who view fusion this year With satisfac-
tiOn arc wise and far-sighted. There are
some localities, number OF counties. in
which fusion will defeat the republican
tickets, although the number Of these
will be smaller this year than heretofore.
But even in these, loyal republicans may
have the assurance that the situation is
such that continuation OF fusion now
clinches the republican hold on Nebraska
beyond . peradventure for q long time
in the future and practically dispoees OF
the populist party.
So here's to tho Columbus and Grand
Island fusionists . gay convention time.
It is the last fun they are likely to have
on such IN occasion.-LincolnS Star.
