1t is surprising to notice the lack of
interests taken in county state and U.
S. politics in this township. At
town election every voter is out, but
for the other official elections men
toned but very small vote is
polled. The average American citi-
zen does not seem to fully appreciate
the lnestimable power of the ballot
outside of local elections
Saturday business visitor in
Bloomington were: Mayor Patrick
Smith, Frank Hickoks, Thos Hill
lerys, James Addisons, Henry Pinks,
Flavian Cherriers, Lynass brothers,
John Culls, James Abrahams, Hiram
Hudsons, VIM. Hopes, Sup'r. Brande
muehls. Ed Jeidys, and Gus Reynolds
A few remined for the band concert
in the evening.
We vould like to impress upon the
minds of those interested the i'm
portance of placing the Union ceme-
terry in good condition. at present it
resem bles a vacant city lot over
grown with weeds, tall grass and
other flora. If the lot holders would
turn out en- masse this fall and level
off graves. fill in hollows and plant
with grass seed the enire enclosure it
would prepare good working basis.
Then by keeping it thoroughly moved
next summer the cemetery could be
kept in condition pleasing in ap-
pearance and thereby gratifying to
the lot owners.
Quite a number of our citizens at
tended the funeral of Mrs. VIM.
Moore which occurred in Bloomington
last Monday. Among those noticed
as being present were Mrs. Thos.
Webb and Mccormick brothers.
The town board consisting of Super
visors leighton, Landon and Brande-
muehl, held meeting at the Thos.
Webb place Monday for the purpose of
dividing the fencing responsibility
between the Webb and Krohn farm
adjoining.
Jack Jeidy burned brush along the
| road in the vicinity of his farm last
Saturday On account of the dry
weather this is very good season to
burn brush but for the same reason
farmers should exercise great care
and not allow TIE fire to get beyond
control.
Business visitors in Bloomington
last Monday were: John Krohn,
Hiram Hudson, James Abraham, Gus
Reynolds and Gerald Lynass.
VIM. Pagenkopf shipped cattle
from Lancaster last Monday.
eWm. Garthwaite and wife were

ington.
John Wilson and wife visited
friends and relatives in Bagley recent

Mrs. Thos. Webb visited relatives
in Mt. Hope last Sunday.
Many Little Grant farms are
badly cut up by gullies and bitches
caused by their susceptibility to
washing. These washouts if closely
guarded would never have increased
or have developed to such proportions
as many of them have. Filling IN
with brush, old trees rails and the
like would stop the development OF
many of these bitches and preserve
