Sorr to say, however, it has foiled the ar- rangements of many who expected to sow oats first of the week. Mr E E Potts has moved back on his farm and Mr. Kinney has moved on the Joe Rhine farm. Mr J E Moore has rented his farm and moved to Eldorado Springs, we suppose, to try the health-giving qualities of its famous water. Philips Bros. are baling all the hay they can find for sale, and are doing good work, so don’t be afraid to em- ploy them, as they will give satisfac- tion to all. Benj E Parker is teaching in Pleas- ant Gap township, in district No. 2, and reports the enrollment of fifty scholars, and the school progressing nicely with a good daily attendanee, Mr Harry Rhine is hunting some one to take the place, as school direc- tor until the election, of John T Moore, who has moved away. He has succeeded in finding one who will gladly accept anything in sight. The populists out this way are rather more numerous than we care to see, and by the way they are start- ing in with the spring. Must expect to capture everything. Tell chem to not forget some of the dear ones out this way, who are hungry fora pull at the public crib in order to better serve the people. We would suggest to the democrats to act wisely and not be in too much of a hurry to get a ticket in the field, and then get out good men whose character and reputation wili speak better to the voters than the long- drawn campaign will ever do. Give us‘a short pull altogether and they are ours. O, Pardon us! We didn’t want to mix politics with our items, yet the thing would persist in crossing our way, and we had to give it a stroke and pass on. However, we would like to see Tom Harper county clerk again; missing leg will not entitle him to any of Uncle Sam’s bounty. Mr. Editor can’t you give us a cue onthe high life weddings you referred to. Weare getting very impatient waiting for some of the cake; curios- ity satisfied issoothing to the nerves, you know. Hops are not a very popularamuse- mu nt out this way, yet we have one sor etimes to break the monotony of | co ntry life. We notice Lem Bernhard of Cal, is back again among friends.
