The death of Oscar Arion Frost, at
Ottawa, brings out the claim for him
that he was the youngest cavalryman

into the Third Missouri Cavalry at
fourteen years of age, and served
through the war. 1t cannot be claimed

Sumter County has just had a law pass
cd to elect her commissioners by the peo
pie The question occurs is this a good
or a bad move a p 'esent the grand jury
elects.
The grand jury is composed ofnot over
23men and possibly I8-It is drawn from
a small part of the voting population.
Result is that very large majority of
people are disfranchlsed, when it comes
to electing the most important officers in
the county put it i'll any light pc sible-
they have no voice i'll it whatever for the
judge of the Superior court appoints the
jury commissioners the Jury commiss :
ers select the grand jury and the granG
jury elects the county commissioners.
Suppose Mr.. A is so situated as not to
be on the grand jury. Suppose Mr.. is
on the grand jury. Suppose Mr. A owe
one half of Lee County and Mr.. B not an
acre, The present method mean
that Mr.. A is disfranchised when it comes
to saying who shall assess his taxes man
a &c his finances work his roads sup
port his paup9rs and look out for the
welfare of his County, While Mr.. B who
dos not own any property can rub it i'll
on him with his personal enemies vote to
manage Mr.. AS property and yet Mr..
AS mouth must be sealed.
Those that are thus disfranchised are
not the riff iaff and ignorant part by
any means.
We need change and need it bad.
