THAT GARFIELD SEED WHEAT.
A correspondent at Garfield writes
The Tribune that only four-tenths of
the 1050 bushels of seed wheat received
from Joliet was distributed in that pre
cinct, the remainder going to farmers in
L-ustor and Logan counties and in Har
rison and Kilmer precincts in this county.
This correspondent says the peoplo of
Garfield precinct do not want to be
creditod with seed grain which thev did
not receive, as in making tho apportion
ment the county commission may labor
under tho mistaken idea that the farm
ers of his precinct are supplied with
seed. The Tnmuxn does not anticipate
that any of the needy ones in Garfield
will be overlooked.
Since the above was put in typo we
have received the following letter:
Gai.i'ield, Xkh., Apr. 4, 1805.
Eu. Tribune: Will you kindly say
that the farmors of thiB vicinity needing
seed have received 1035 btishols of wheat
from Will county, 111., and that it h;is
been distributed to the best of our knowl
edge without regard to precinct lines,
church affiliations, political bins, color or
nationalities, as was especially requested
by H. M. Stasen, mayor of the city of
Joliet, who represented tho people of
Will Co. in placing their generous gift,
and who personally visited this neighbor
hood. Yours,
M. E. Gqodexow, )
