An Old Poem.

By accident Mr.. M. F. Springer, of
northwest of town, recently discover
ed an old poem which was printed
in paper published at Decatur City
about the time Leon won the first
county seat fight, probably more
than fifty years ago, and thinking it
might be of interest to some of the
old settlers he kindly sent it to US
for publication.
Gentlemen and ladies', too,
! have but little to say to you.
Bout five miles east there is lit
tie town;
1t has hollow in the square and
holiows all around.
They have courthouse made of mud
And in 1t the quacks of Lawyer Spud.
There's John and Sam and George
and Joe,
And several others / don't know.
They always have the best supplies
OF mud and dogs and gnats and flies.
They have some good old cistern
wells
In; which the water always smells.
This town is now our county seat,
Though they got it by perfect cheat.
They worked hard with their little
boats
And beat Decatur just three votes.
Now, / think, when our railroads
done
The way we'll beat them will be fun.
So rise, Decatur, shake thyself,
And lay old Leon on the shelf.

Don't Strain Yenr Eyes to See
HaIley's Comet.

Leon people who are straining
their eyes to see Haaley's comet with
out the aid of a telescope are simply
losing time and energy and should
wait awhile, according to calcula-
tions of ID W.. Morehouse, professor
of astronomy at Drake University.
According to Professor Morehouse
the comet is visible now by the use of
a telescope or field glass, but it can
not be seen with the naked eye.
The comet will be seen with the
naked eye about May 1, when it will
be in the northeastern sky In the
morning. 1t will continue there until
the 18th of May and about the 18th
will be closest to us.

LOOK AT YOUR TAG.
And Help Us Keep Out of Trouble
with the PostOffiCe Department
over Mailing Privileges.

When the postoffice department at
Washington made its famous or in
famous ruling In 1908 in regard to
mailing papers to subscribers who
were delinquent, The Reporter made a
hard effort to get its subscription list
in shape to conform to the new rul-
ing. Many of our subscribers came
In and settled their accounts at that
time, but they are now year or
more In arrears. The postoffice de-
partment are now at work vigorously
enforcing the order, and we publish.
below a personal letter which we re-
ceived from Congressman Jameson,
in which he says the ruling will be
enforced and that an inspector is now
investigating the Iowa newspapers.
We cannot afford to run the risk of
being deprived of second-class mail
privileges for The Reporter, for no
country weekly can do business un-
less 1t is granted the, second-class
rate.
Several Iowa newspapers are now
in trouble with the department over
this matter, and we are compelled to
get our list in shape SO that it can be
inspected. 1t is not our doing, and
take offense at our position, for it is
the only course which is left to us,
and unless all arrearages are settled
within the near future we shall be
compelled to cut off quite a number
of our subscribers. Look at the date
after your name on the yellow tag
on your paper this week, and you can
tell just how you stand, and if
it is not convenient to call at the Of
flee you can send us your remittance
by mail. We want to give everybody
fair warning, and then if you fail to
have your Reporter paid for we shall
be compelled to stop sending you the
paper.
It will greatly facilitate our work
in getting our list ready for inspec-
tion if our subscribers will make ar
rangements to settle their accounts at
once. Read Congressman Jamiesons s
letter and you can see what we are up
against.

Wants a Correction.

Davis City, Iowa, Feb. 3.-Edi-
tor Reporter: | notice in The Leon
Reporter of today an article, with the
large headlines, oscar Tharp Goes to
Penitentiary for Twenty Years" ;"
Now, / want you to please correct
this article about my son, Oscar
Tharp. In the first place, Oscar was
not sent to the penitentiary for twen-
ty years at Creston, January %, 1910,
the day Judge Towner pronounced
rested November 9th, charged with
rape, entered plea of guilty in the
district court at Creston last week.
You had better get the facts in the
case before you publish such false
statements. He only pleaded guilty
to assault with intent to commit, and
not rape, as you have it. Judge Town
er said in pronouncing the sentence,
Mr.. Tharp, do not send you to the
penitentiary, but only to the re-
formatory ward at Anamosa for not
to exceed twenty years, but if you go
and, obey the rules of the ward you
will probably be paroled out in two
or three years. He was not con-
fined in the criminal insane ward,
as you say in your paper. His bond
Judge Rowell, was $4,000 and not
$4,000, as you and the Journal both
hawai- Further, he never burglar
lied but one store in Davis City, while
you say several. We have a letter
from Oscar this week and he said he
was going to start to school Monday
morning, in the reformatory ward.
Please make the necessary correc-
tions to give our son his true status
before the people,
Joseph and Mary E. Tharp.
