Hoiiso Hull Number L'3ll If enacted
into law would abolish the olllee of the
clerk of the Dlstiiet Comt in this
county, which illustrnUs the fact that
anything is liable to happen whenever
a legislature gets to woik. There is
enough for the members of tho No
' braslm legislature to do if they will
conlliiu themselves to the real needs
of tlie people and we see no reason
whyn county with fifteen thousand
population needs it clerk or the district
court and n county with fourteen
thousand population should not. If
this ofllce WrtS abolished in thlscouuty
it would cost those who have need of
the ofllce from three to tin times as
much as it does at tho present timo
We trust Hint our representatives will
give this their attention and defeat
the measure.
A GOOD SUGGESTION
In the last issue of the Aigus wo
notice a suggestion which st tikes us as
being n good one. We refer to tho idea
of conducting our own lectin o course
in tho winter time with out own peo

that it will profit us much moie to use
-juid develop v. hut ability e ,iiv,
than alwajs !o depend upon imports.
This reminds us that a similiar sug
gestion wi's made last suimmr in u
gard to the chnutuuquu. There is no
reason why we could net run a splen
did chautauo.ua piuctlcally flee just as
tho Funnel's Instituto is conducted.
We have as good a 'band as tho aver
ago that welmport, mid it is u gieat
