A Rare Treat.

There has been an unusual amount
of activity in one of the leading stores
of Audubon for the past week, caused
by the unpacking and displaying of an
immense stock of Dry Goods remnants.
These remnants or Loom Ends are the
short lengths accumulated by the mills
in manufacturing the goods. They can
be obtained in any kind of cotton
goods manufactured and at from one
fourth to one half less than actual val
ne. This stock is on display and for
sale at Vermilya's store from Oct. Sth
to, Oct. 22nd and consists of prints,
outing hannels, treeced back waistings,
ginghams, sateens and many other
kinds of goods. No such opportunity
is offered any where to the buying
public as this store has taken such
pains to bring them before them. If
you have not received one of the large
bills by mail or carrier call for one
at the store.

Judge Harris Letter.

When we wrote up the Extra old
settlers meeting few weeks ago, in
speaking of Judge Harris address we
said he went farther than some thought
best in that he gave the early settler
equal credit with the old soldier.
Concerning this Judge Harris has
written u letter which was published
in last weeks Extra journal and
which we repubIish in this issue. We
honor the Judge for his splendid char
acter and do not wish a controversy,
hut we protest against this sentiment
which he advocates. We came to
Iowa fOrty-twO years ago and our
family has for generations been among
the army OF pioneers, SO we think we
know by experience and testimony of
the hardShipS and privatiOns of the
pioneer life, and that we appreciate
their sacrifices. However, most of
the pioneers came to the new country
bringing their families with them, and
came to better their conditions. We
do not think their sacrifices for others
are TO be compared with the soldiers
who left their families and went into
camp, into the march and into the
battle, remaining four years, not to
better their COndiOnS financially, but
to worse them, that this government
might endure, that rebellion might be
put down. In suffering, in privation,
in danger to life, there is no parallel
between the two.
The death rolls Of battles, of hospi-
tails and of rebel prisons in that four
years is sufficient answer US to whether
there is any parallel in devotion and
sacrifice in our cOuntry's history.
AS much as we honor the old settler
for opening up this country to the
uses of civilization, yet much more do
we honor the soldier for offering his
life, if needed, for the saving of the
republic.

them and more open expressions
against others of them, ending the ar
ticle with "a part of the candidates
are very good men, but part of them
are wholly unworthy of the support of
the voters. Good honest clean men
can and should be nominated for
county office" Our inference natural
ly was that the article meant that
those candidates whom it threatened
and denounced, among whom were
White and Train, were not "honest"
etc. Now it seems Sonny does not
wish such such an inference made, and
desires to call any one making such
an inference a ''liar." We have con-
tended all the time that they we're hon
orable and competent men and are
delighted that there is no controversy
between Sonny and us on that subject.

Corn In illinois Farmers Institute.

We have on our table a copy of the
Whiteside Sentinel published at.
Morrison, ILL.,, furnished us by F.. NJ
Preston. In that part of Illinois they
make more of farmers institutes than
we do here. Their institute there will
be held Dec. ID, II and ID and the
papers are already talking about it,
A leading feature of the coming insti-
tute will be the Judging in Il corn
contest between sixty boys and four
girls who took seed from the institute
and planted it last spring. The
following rules govern their contest:
A package of not less than 800
grains of seed corn of seven varieties,
Boone County White, Golden Eagle,
Riley's Favorite, White Superior
Leaning, Reds yellow Dent and
Silver Mine, was presented on con-
ditiOn that each boy or girl who
received a package should plant three
hundred grains of it in Il square,
with the balance of it planted in two
rows on the south and west sides to
fertiliZe and protect the inside rows.
The conditions OF the contest also
stated that he should cultivate it and
harvest it and exhibit not less than
ten ears of it at his home County
Farmers Institute, the ten ears or
more for exhibition to be taken from
the inside square and nowhere else.
1t was further agreed by the boy re-
ceiving this corn that he would comply
with the rules governing the exhibit
of corn at his County Institute, and
that he would attend at least one
session of the Institute; also that he
would follow as far as possible, the
suggestions given in regard to keep
ing a record of growing the corn.
A memorandum book, containing
the conditions of the contest and
suggestions for the report, was also
sent to each applicant for package
of corn. The report, which is to be
written in the memorandum book,
should be made upon the following
items:
The kind of soil upon which the
corn was grown, the previous crop
upon the lot, the manure used if any,
the time and depth of blowing, the
cultivation of ground before planting,
the time Of planting, the number Of
times and kind of cultivation, the
implements used in cultivation, the
number of hills, the number of stalks
in each hill, the total weight at time
Of gathering, the injury from cut
worms and insects; all to pertain only
to the hills from the 300 grains on the
inside square planted. The keeping
of this record will be of most value to
the boy who makes it, but the County
Farmers Institute will give prizes for
the best reports, as well as for the
best corn exhibited.
Then follows the scale of points
from which markings are to be made
