Country Press Useful.
MOI Republican-R Record.

Carrollton (Mo.) Republican-R Record.
The weekly county paper has as def
mite an excuse for being in the world a
can be furnished by the city dailies
Such a publication is not only business
guide, but is pulpit Of morals; it is a
kind of a public rostrum where the af-
fairs OF the State are considered; it is II
social friend, a promoter of friendship
and good will. Edited by broad and
just man, such publication so treats
the diffrent sects that they realize
their brotherhood and become in reality
what they are pictured in print The
town weekly dare not be Presbyt terrain,
or Methodist or Baptist, but it must
select the valuable in each church, and
thus it becomes the harmonizer of dis
cord, it binds those whom theology
would, often, separate. Even the So
called small matters of a village or in
corporate towu are small only to those
whose hearts are too full of personal in
terests. 1t is very important to some if
Il school boy reads a good essay, or
speaks well piece. or sings well song,
or stands high in the class room. that
kindly mention should be made publicly
OF such success, for more young minds
are injured by the want of cheering
words than are made vain by an excess
of such praise.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-In view of the
fact that one G. G. Shoemaker, OF York.
Pa, a breeder OF alleged fancy poultry,
has taken advantage OF a transaction
with myself to grossly pervert the facts
and cause to be published a deliberate
faisehOod. for the ostensible purpose of
/deceiving others and profiting thereby,
feel it my duty 10 the public as we'll as
myself TO make a statement and expose
the said q. G. ShOemaker's conduct in
the transaction between us. The follow
ing article, heading and all, was clipped
from a late number of the New York
american, and the same thing has been
published in other papers that have
come under my notice:
$500 FOR PRIZE HEN;
BRINGS $Ioo A POUND.
York Man Disposes of Ribbon Winner
at Record Price.
York, Pa, Dec PA buff Orpington
hen owned by &. q. Shoemaker, OF this
city, was sold here yesterday to 4. J.
Cheek, of Henderson, \. c., for 800.
The fowl took the first prize at the
Madison Square Garden poultry show
OF her kind in the world
She weighs four pounds so she cost
her purchaser 500 pound.
There is no truth in the above state
ment as far as the 800 hen is concerned,
but in order to correct it, it will be neces-
sary to relate the transaction in full.
Seeing my advertisement to exchange
Barred Plymouth Rocks for same num-
Der of Buff Orpingtons, G. G. Shoemaker,
of York, Pa, telegraphed me to ship him
three hens and q rooster, and on receipt
OF them be would express me same num-
Der OF Buff OrpiDgtons. This | did, and
after he got my birds he refused to ship
not the right color, and that the hens
had black specks on the sides of their
bills. | then wrote him to return my
birds by next express or to send me the
worth OF them in Orpingtons. To this
he did not reply. After waiting about a
month | wrote him again, and he finally
agreed to ship me one extra fine pullet
for my three hens and rooster. Seeing
he had me, and did not intend to keep his
bargain, / wrote him to ship the one fine
pullet, if that was all my birds were
worth. Then it was he shipped me the
hen which he claims paid him 500 for
Shoemaker may have valued my chick
ems at 500 piece (Which is higher val
uation than | put them myself by
good deaD in order to bring the value of
his hen up to 500, but | could not see
anything like $500 or 81 90 In her.
When the extra fine pullet' he sent
me arrived she proved to be an old scrub
OF a hen, with one spur, and refused to
take her out OF the express office, she
not being worth $110 amount of ex-
press charges) to me- The express com
pany sold her To best advantage, but
did not get enough for her to pay ex-
press charges.
Had this fellow Shoemaker done moth
ing but swindle me out of the chickens |
shipped him | would have pocketed my
loss and let it go at that; but when he
uses the transaction to publish and cir
culate a bare-face falsehOod it demands
some attention being paid to it.
