Prices in the eos.

There is an old book at the court
house which contains the accounts
of the company operating the old
Silver Hill mine from 1861 to 1865.
The old book would be very interest
ing to old citizens of the county, for
it contains many names of men
long gone who would be remember
ed, and also of men who are now
living. According to the records
contained in this book, it appears
that the mine was operated all
through the war without let up and
with strong force of men. The
war boosted the prices ofeverything
to eat. For instance, on September
1, 1861, flour was bought at 2 1-2
cents a pound. At the same date
in 1862 the price was 4 3-4 cents a
pound and in 1858 at the same date
it is noted that 10 bushels of wheat
was purchased from W. H. Harris
for $55. There is also the following
item for the same day: Paid Brad
shaw for SO bushels of corn, $3.50

German Spies in the Country

German Spies in the Country.
According to story in the New
York Sun, German spies are abroad
in this country, desperately seeking
opportunity to destroy some OF the
plants engaged in manufacturing
ammunition and material for the
allies. If this be true, it is the duty
as we'll as the special interest of
every citizen of German birth or
parentage to be especially vigilant
in helping to detect such persons
and having them locked up or chas-
ed out of the country. One crime
involving the lives of scores or hum
dreds of American Workingmen
would kindle now very serious fire
which probably would lead to most
unfortunate consequences, One OF
the most unpleasant of these con-
sequences would be the bringing OF
practically every German citizen
under the suspicion of his neighbors.

He counted on his money and he seldom went

You seldom had to make test because the

Before we had inspectors such things they

But things have changed since we were boys,

A plumber did the tapping then when water

And always paid expenses from the money
When strangers made contract you always
got your pay,
But times have changed since we were boys,

The mayor and city council made the laws

And every one got credit from the high Off

They had no opposition, did the work and

But times have changed since we were boys,

But local corporations furnished gas and

And many honest-looking men were

But righteous indignation put the traffic

Be firm in your convictions, if right,

No matter what the comment or what
some fellow said;
We would not stop advancement nor

We do not think that progress in the
system is at fault.
The hand that rocks the cradle is the
power behind the throne,
As prosperity advances they are coming

from the fruit of their endeavors good |

And to them is due the credit for what

Progressive Farmer.
Whe we buy at Is cents pound
a strip of bacon or a ham that we
might raise at home for 10 cents a
pound, what goes with the Is cents
a pound difference? The man who
grew the meat and the middle man
get it, you say? Quite true, but in SO
far as you and | are concerned, does
not this Is cents a pound represent
waste? Might we not as well throw
the money in the fire and be done
with it?
Then how about the fellow who
buys canned stuff instead Getting
it from his own garden and orchard;
who buys corn, hay, lard, syrup and
even butter? This is pitiful waste
waste that has too long held the
South in bondage to the supply merr-

OUR ONLY COMMONER.

It was once said on the New York
Exchange of a London arbitrage
house; with lord as its senior part
ner, that of the three partners, one
was a lord, the second was COM
moner, and the third couldn't be
commoner. There is a discreditable
give notice" maid-of-all work tricki-.
ness about Mr.. Bryan's resignation
at this time.
To no politician in our history
could the adjective common" in
its cheapest and meanest sense, be
more fifty applied. When Lincoln
said that the Lord must have loved
the common people because he made
SO many of them, he used the word
in the Bible sense, and he conferred
upon them a nobility like his own.
But when Mr.. Bryan calls himself
"Commoner" self respecting people
can only wonder what, in the name
of all that is patriotic, the superla-.
tive may be?
The peculiar indecency of such a
resignation before the issue of firm
note to Germany lies in the impli-
cation that some part of American
public opinion is not holding up the
hands of the President in this emer-
gency.

NEW YORK, June 19.-Charles

 today that the appeal for clemency would contain statements which
 should induce the governor to Set the man free. The nature of these state ments. the attorney said. could not be disclosed until the governor had re- ceived the appeal, but he said that he was convinced that they had dis covered enough new evidence to show that Becker was the victim of a dreadful conspiracy, and that the gov. ernor would not be able to resist the force of the facts which had been dis. covered. Governor Whitman will be in a peculiar position when the appeal for clemency is received by him, as 1t was Whitman, then district attorney who was Beckers nemesis, and re- lentlessly drew the net around him that resulted in Becker's conviction.
