SOUND AND TRUE.
We are glad te see that good old
family newspaper, the Naw York Ob
server, out boldly in opposition to
what it calls tli9 "Two Great Foes" of
the country Infidelity and Romanism.
It strikes some heavy blows at these
enemies, and tells some honest facts
that should be widely known. Every
lover of his country that would be
posted should read it. A good family
newspaper i3 the cheapest luxury that
can be enjoyed, and we can heartily
recommend .the New York Observer as
such a paper. 33.15 a year post-paid.

All communications for this depart merit must
be plainly written on one side of the paper,
ronta'n no personal or Improper allusions and
be accompanied with the writer's kkal name
thouzh it i.eed not iiwssarily be signed to the
article written. Correspondent can do as thry
like u' out that, but must inform us privately
u! their real names.
Hock Bluits, Dec. 18th, 1870.
Dear IIekald: It seems surpris
ing that eo few of the young folks of
Casa County are willing to take a part
in writing letters to the "Letter Box."
It is not very interesting for a few to
-wiite letters for others to read, but it
would be interesting for all, if the
young folks would only try. It is no
disgrace to try, if we do fail. Trial is
only for the sake of improvement.
Though the IIekald gave quite an
extended account ef our coal mines
here when first opened, it may not be
improper to say a few words of them
in this letter. The coal is here yet, on
ly waiting to be hauleti up out of the
"draft," put into the stove, and kind
ling applied. If any doubt the virtue
of the 11. B. Coal, let them step into
Mr. Shera'a one of these cold mornings
where Joe is running his stove with
nothing but this coal.
School is out now, and we are hav
ing a good time, as Christmas is almost
iere.
We get the Herald every week, and
I think it is a splendid paper. I hpe
others will soon be willing to write let
ters for the fcLetter Box." for it is good
exercise both for the mind and pen.
Yours Itesp'y. Charlie Graves.
- We are glad to see that two or three,
at least are interested iu our "Letter
Box," and we hope they will soon stir
others up to write, and make it real
lively.
PRO RATA.
They have had a lively time over
Mr. Crotmse's PYo Rata Bill in Congress.-
A friend of the Herald prom
ised to write it up for us in our ab
sence. He has forgotten it or changed
his mind. At this late hour the editor
cannot do the subject justice in the
space left in the paper, and it must
suffice to say that several amendments
were offered and it was finally re-committed
to the Judiciary Committee to
report on these and re-submit at some
future time which means never, we
guess.
Our handsome, two-eyed, pretty and
aristocratic friend, Dr. Miller, has gone
down to Washington to help count Til
den in and Bro. Crounse's bill out, and
the whole force of the U. P. and the
State of Iowa seem arrayed against the
poor little crater pro rata as it now
stands.
We rather think well have to wake
Bro. Datus up on this matter if he
doesn't quit abusing the South Piatt (I
country and the B. A M. Its a poor
little R. R. grasshoppered, Ac, Do
let it alone, Mr. Brooks.
We call attention to Prof. Aughey's
article on Insects on the first page.
We have received Vick's Floral
Gnide, fir6t number, for 1877, and find
it tilled with good things as usual. For
several years Mr. Vic-k ha3 offered to
every State Agricultural Society four
premiums for flowers grown by ama
teurs. The highest being $20. This
year he makes the same offer and an
additional one of forty dollars, open to
both amateurs and professionals.
We have used Vick's seeds for sev
eral years and can testify to the fact
that they rarely if ever fail to grow,
and prove to be all they promise. His
bulbs are also of the finest and stand
ard varieties. We advise all our read
ers to send twenty-five cents to James
Virk, Rochester, N. Y and get his
Floral Guide, and then supply them
selves witli seeds.
THE CASS COUNT! AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.
The Cass Co. Agricultural Society
met on Saturday, Dec. 16th at Mr.
Windham's office. A fair number
were present, including the old war
horses of the Agricultural Society in
the County.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr. Gil more, Vice President of the
Society. One of the principal ques
tions brought up was the re-leasing of
the present grounds, or the purchasing
of new ones. On this point a number
of gentlemen spoke who have been ac
tive in the affairs of the Society. J.
Vallery Sr. said we ought to take more
pride in our Co. Fair, and it must be
sustained. We have given the West
special inducements to come in and
compete. If this county cannot sus
tain a good fair then no county iu the
state, Douglas excepted, can. If we
all try we can make a good Fair.
Mr. Ami Todd proposed the purchas
ing of land in Platte Valley for a per
manent Fair Ground. MacMurp'ay
asked if this purchase would accommo
date more people from the West, and
who could reach the grounds by rail
than it would discommode settlers and
farmers from the South and Southeast.
Vallery answered this and favored the
formation of a Stock Company. Mr.
Windham, the Secretary, gave a very
lucid and exhaustive resume of the con
dition of the Society, its wants, its
present needs, and its future demands.
At present we stand very well, as well
as any Agricultural Society in the
state. Mr. Gilmour, V. P. gave hi3
views, in favor of a Stock Company, if
it could be made to good advantage.
Discussion by Messrs MacMurphy,
Hascall, Vallery, Windham and others.
A motion was finally, offerred as fol
lows: That a committee of seven be
appointed to rrport on the leasing or
buying of grounds, and further to as
certain how many Farmers, Merchants,
and business men would take stock in
an Agricultural Society, at $100 per
share with suitable restrictions said
committee to report at a meeting to
be held in February, to be called by
the Secretary, after suitable notice.
Considerable discussion ensued, and af
ter a fret understanding of the duties
of the committee the motion was car
ried. The chair appointed the following
gentlemen as such Committee: Messrs
R. B. Wiudham, Thos. Wiles, Lewis
Bird, Henry Wolfe, A. Holmes, D. II.
Wheeler and James Hall.
Meeting adjourned.
The Herald will have mora to say
about this in future; at present we
have only time to give the minutes of
the meeting. We hope the Committee
will attend to this matter and be able
to report in Feb.. satisfactorily, one
waj or the other.
TELEGRAPHIC !
New York, Dec. 19.
The position at Columbia. S. C, is
without material change. A formal
demand was made by Hampton on
Chamberlain for the possession of the
executive department of the govern
ment. Chamberlain, in reply, refused
to recognize Hampton's right to make
such demand and refused compliance.
A Herald interviewer says Gen. Mar
maduke, ex-Confederate, is now in the
city to confer with Tilden in reference
to the speedy organization ef the De
mocracy in Missouri to aid in enforc
ing Tilden's inauguration. Mariua
duke is to command the Tilden forces
in Missouri.
Congressman Buckner has also been
interviewed, and he expresses the opin
ion that war is inevitable.
Columbia, S. C December 19.
In the democratic house to-day 79 sen
ator and representatives were present.
This being a legal quorum of joint as
sembly a ballot was taken for United
States senator, resulting in the election
of M. C. Butler. Nothing was done by
the republicans or the courts to-day of
any interest. Every thing is very
quiet.
Look out for war! The Philadelphia
Chronicle thus insults the Queen: "The
British lion would get up and mash
things.but unfortunately he is unable to
get his tail out from between his legs
he has carried it there so long."
GRAND RATIFICATION.
CASS COUNTY JOLLIFICATION.
The Repablieans Come to the Scratch.
We Whoop up Hayes.
As per announcement the Republi
cans of Cass County met at Fitzgerald
Hall on Thursday evening, Dec. 14th,
to ratify the election of Hayes and
Wheeler as President and Vice Presi
dent of the U. S.
The meeting was opened by Hon. D.
H. Wheeler, and Capt. Paine chosen
Secretary.
Maj. Wheeler made a few remarks
on the importance of the occasion, and
was followed by Gen. Cunningham,
who insisted on the fact that there was
but one thing to do, and that was for
the President of the Senate to an
nounce the vote 185 for Hayes &
Wheeler.
The band then gave us some excel
lent music, and Mr. Reed, of Weeping
Water wi s then called to the floor, and
made one of the best points made yet
during this controversy. Speakinz of
the charge of corruption so often and
so recklessly brought against the Re
publican party, he said we had the as
tounding spectacle of 18. Republican
electors casting their vole for Hayes
& Wheeler, when millions were stand
ing ready to buy some of those votes
and there were no sellers. Hon. G. S.
Smith made some appropriate remarks,
aud after a song by the band and oth
ers, the whole party were invited over
to the Saunders House, where an oys
ter supper disappeared in short metre.
Still later in the parlor of the Saun
ders House, Colonel Dan Johnson
and everybody made a speech and
the boys all went home in the morn
ing sat isfied that Hayes and Wheeler
will be the next President and Vice
President of the U. S.
And while the above was going on,
Alex. Schlegel and the Gun Corps fired
31 rounds; one for Hays and Wheeler,
one for each State that went Republi
can, and oue for the Herald office,
and shook the solid earth they did,
too.
A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
The Illustrated History of the Cen
tennial Exhibition with a full descrip
tion of the Great Buildings and all the
objects of interest exhibited in them.
By James D. McCabe, author of "The
Centennial History of the United
States" Etc. Embellished with over
300 fine engravings of buildings and
scenes in tJie Great Exhibition.
The National Publishing Co. of Phil
adelphia and St. Louis, have issued a
handsome volume bearing the above
title. The intense interest everywhere
manifested in the great Exhibition,
and the desire to obtain a complete and
connected account of it, will unques
tionably causa this book to have a very
extensive sale.
This History of the Centennial Ex
hibition is not a dry list of the articles
exhibited. It is a superb volume of
874 pages, from the pen of one of the
most popular authors of the day. Mr.
McCabe received theeonstant and sym
pathetic assistauce of the Centennial
authorities, and enjoyed peculiar ad
vantages in the preparation of thi3
work. He went, note-book in hand,
through every department of the Exhi
bition, and the result of his labors is a
work abounding in brilliant descrip
tions of the great World's Fair, lie
traces the history of the great enter
prise from its inception to its trium
phant closing day. He then takes us
through every part of the Exhibition
grounds, giving brilliant accounts of
every building and other features of in
terest within them. We are taken
through the Main Building, Machinery
Hall, the Agricultural and Horticultu
ral Halls, the Art Gallery, the Govern
ment Building, and all the other struct
ures, and our deepest attention i3 held
all the time by the descriptions of the
rare and beautiful objects contained
in them.
The book is written with a vigor and
brilliancy which render it a complete
and Iife-1 ike pici ure of the great World's
Fair, and which make it invaluable to
all classes of our people. To those
who have visited the Exhibition it will
be a pleasing souvenir of their Yisit,
and enable them to recall the magnifi
cent scenes they have witnessed. To
those who could not make the journey,
the book is a necessity, for it will ena
ble them to enjoy the delights of a
thorough acquaintance with the great
Exhibition in the quietude of their own
homes.
There is not another book in print
which gives one-fourth of the inform
ation contained in this work.
It is superbly illustrated, and the price
is so low that all can afford to secure
a copy. The book is sold by subscrip
tion only, and the publishers want
agents in every county.

As arc the experiences of this life, none are
without its silver lining. Trouble aud cares
come ; some abide with us ; ome pass away.
To-day the body is vigorous, to-morrow it Is
dead and gone : lile at best is short aud the
great problem how to penetuate it is st'H un
solved. Life, however, can be prolonged, the
weak and feeble body made strong, no ntter
from what cause induced, and lnstear of being
a burden to dispeptic aud debilitated bodies,
can be made and endming pleasure : But how?
Simply by the daily and moderate use of Dr.
Green's Bitter Tonic. Thts truly medicinal pre
paration is not a cheap and trashy article, in
tended simply to stimulate and then leave the
second state of the body worse than the first,
but it generally relaxes the bowels, stimulates
the liver, making it work off the poisonous hu
mor of the blood, controls and regulates diges
tion, thereby removing the cause of headaches
and low spirits, relieves flatulency and foul
stomach, giving tone and stability to that or
gan with an increased and healthy appetite:
regulates female weaknesses, prevents fever
and ague and malarious ii.va-. protrrts th
system from nnwholesome all and impure wa
ter, and vitalizes and tones the whole body
against iill attacks of disease. Tiy it, and you
will find it pleasant to the taste and healin to
thebodT.
In sudden or severe cases of Liver Complaint,
or in constipithiii of the bowels, a ftxr dosee of
Dr. Greei.'s Liver Pills will assist the Tonic in a
cure, and if you are shaking with ague. Dr.
Green's Ague' Pills will drive it away.
