There was ice last Sunday morning.
the first Of the season.
There are absolutely no indications
that the solid south Is to be broken as
the result Of today's election.
oat sowing is going on all over the
county. Some wheat Is being sown
but not so much as there should be.
IL will be away next summer before
there is any more fruit or vegetables
to be canned; but 1t would be short
sightedness in the girls Of the county
to neglect the meeting Of November %
on that account. The meeting to be
held in Yorkville on November % will
be the time to get in on the ground
floor with comprehensive information
as to what is to be DONE and 1t will
help wonderfully in the work of the
year. OF course 1t Is not to be expect
ed that all the girls and young ladies
are going to take an interest in can
ming; but knowledge Of the art will not
hurt any of them.
Although we would not detract in
the slightest from the credit due any
one in connection with the campaign
which has resulted in the voting Of an
issue Of $4,000 worth Of bonds for
the erection of a new court house for
York county, 1t is only fair and just
to say that the largest and tallest
feather belongs in the cap Of John
R. Hart, Esq. Of Yorkville. York
vile people got together in several
conferences as to how to enlist the
interest and support Of the voters; but
in practical results these conferences
were more or less disappointing. In
spite Of discouragements, however,
Mr.. Hart took charge, persuaded, en-
couraged. or whipped other local peo-
pie into line, enlisted the support Of
prominent citizens at the various pre-
cincts and worked up a winning or
ganization. 1t is a fact that dozen
or more Yorkville citizens helped on
the whole proposition as they had
never helped on a similar proposition
before; but except for the earnest, in
telligent and persistent work Of Mr..
Hart, the much desired bond issue
would have gone by default, and the
splendid new court house now in plain
sight would be only misty shadow in
the dim future.
When the women Of York county
reach a point where they can preserve
all the surplus fruit and vegetables
produced in the county they will have
made long step forward economical

ward in every way. There may be
those who are now inclined to hoot at
the idea that domestic canned goods
could ever take the place Of the can
ned goods Of commerce.; but that Is
only because they have not thought
over the subject. Cans are obtainable
anywhere and so are all those pretty
labels easy to procure. 1t would be a
very easy matter to put up more hon.
est goods than most of the goods of
general commerce and consumers
would not be slow to appreciate the
difference. The first AKIN Of course,
would be to provide well for home con-
sumption, and the next step would be
to dispose of the surplus. Through the
club system now being organized this
will be easy. Whether a girl has
surplus can or a thousand she will be
able to turn what she has over to the
selling department of the club, and ev-
erything can be disposed Of in lump,
the money afterward being rated
to the club members in accordance
with the value of the articles furnish
ed. 1t Is not difficult to imagine what
a tremendous lot of canned goods can
be turned out from York county If the
people will give the subject serious at
tention.
