Those who milk COWS and sell the
cream realize more money than when
the same labor was expended on other
lines. This is stock and grass coun-
try and not grain country. While
crops have been poor here two or three
years the farmers and others are
prosperous and money is not as tight
as 1T is would have been few years
ago under like circumstances. The COW
is entitled to the credit for she is all
the time bringing in nice income to
furnish the family money for the neces-
sary expenses of living. Several
thousands of dollars distributed in
Harrison county each month is a great
factor in keeping times fairly good.

for many generations. 1t was a large
silver double cross, of the kind carried

Roman catholic church, and was cap
tured from an indian by his great grand
father, Major Mccullough nearly $50
years ago in what is now the state of
Ohio, but at that time was not even

put in the frames.

The Mills countyseat fight is enrich
ing the exchequer of that county, fact
that is being pretty freely commented
upon as being at least one result of the
controversy which the taxpayers will
not object to, regardless of their senti-
ments on the removal question. When
the court ordered certified copies of the
petition of the Malvern people made, it
also required that the customary fee
should accompany all requests for such
copies and as several copies have been
ordered by the Greenwood and Malvern
people the auditor has been reaping
quite harvest. A charge of ten cents
for each one hundred words, the legal
charge is made for executing the work,
each copy costing those who ordered it
made, 1925. Glenwood and Malvern
people have each paid for and received
copies, making total of $3.50 which
has already been paid the auditor for the
work. -Four men worked on the alb
stract of names six days. The fees thus
received by the auditor for the work
exceeds the fees of the office for the
entire year of 1905 by double the
amount.

YEARS POSTAL DEFICIT $4,000, 900 LESS
Mr.. Madden Recommends Uniform Rates for
Second Glass Matter.

Washington, Dec. 20--A reduction OF more
than S40O0OOO. or 27.S3 per cent in the deficit
Of the Postofice Department is shown in the
annual report OF Edwin c. Madden. Third As
sistant Postmaster General. which was made
public to-day. The total postal revenue for the
fiscal year of 1906 shows an increase OF more
than S15.000o00 over that OF 1905. the greatest
increase in year in the history of the postal
service. The total receipts from all sources
were $751;, ,932. 1872 and the total expenditures
S17S449,17S. The gross deficit, including losses
by burglary and fire and through uncollected
debts, amounted 70 S10,542.941.
An enormous increase IN the demand for
stamp supplies-nearly SO0Oo0000 stamps a
gain OF more than 10 per cent, being solids q
striking indication OF the wonderful growth OF
postal business due to the countrys great pros
perity."
Considerable space is devoted to second class
mail matter. The aggregate amount of such
matter mailed at the pound rate and free of
postage during the year was 70S, 1858 pounds
an increase Of more than 100000 pounds over
the previous year. Mr.. Madden recommends
that the seven different rates of postage for the
second class and the one rate for the third class
be abandoned, and in their place there be
adopted a uniform rate for all printed matter
OF a quarter Of a cent ounce, or one cent
for each four ounces or fraction thereof TO one
address, which is four cents on an even pound,
and that there be g provision for the payment Of
postage on newspapers and periodicals In money
as at present and another for their expeditions
