BMaasark Preclact.
Mrs. Daisy Burns was visiting her
parents Mr. and Mrs. Swartsley
lately.
Bismark is still increasing in the
number by its citizens, and in pros
perity. Mrs. Karline now has a new two
story frame dwelling-house with rock
foundation.
John G. Dreher has advertised his
farm for sale ; it is located sis and a
half miles northeast of Columbus.
George Hodel bought twenty-five
head of steers ; it is his intention to
fatten them for the spring market.
Almost every one is putting up
new buildings, for you know "you
might as well be out of the world as
out of the fashion."
Potatoes are a very poor crop in
most parts of the country, owing to
this season being an exceptionally dry
one. It is the dryest since 1880.
There is one consolation to the
farmers of this vicinity, and that is
no matter how dry the season is,
there is one sure crop, sand burs.
Mr. Sheldon has erected a two
story frame dwelling-house, with
rock foundation, also a large horse
barn on his cattle-ranch four miles
north of Columbus.
We have been very fortunate in not
having any hail-Btorms this year .to
destroy the corn. Last year there
were quite a nnmber which cut the
small grain up badly.
A few years ago the crops of small
grain were destroyed by chintz-bugs,
but for the last two or three years I
have not seen a chintz-bug, and it is
to be hoped that they will not return
to this country.
Last winter quite a number of cat
tle died in this vicinity from the ef
fects of the black smut on the ears of
corn ; this year, so far as I have no
ticed, it is very scarce, a fact to be
appreciated by farmers.
Mr. Bartle, the enterprising young
farmer who removed to this state last
spring, and bought a half section of
land southwest of O. D. Butler's,
has converted a large piece of prairie
into the "tilled soil," which shows
that he means to succeed, an example
worthy the notice of all good farmers
of this vicinity;

Corn is a good crop. Humphrey

My friend Truman spilled a little
water, in4his,.f effort; to prove that he
did not pay one-half more tax in '84
under organization than he did the
year previous, by trying to compare
it to some other years. If he got off
with light tax in '84, then it looks as
if he had tampered with the assessor,
for he is the first man that has made
the assertion. I should like to hear
from others in Monroe on this point,
but believe we can run; a good ma
chine with less oil, although we have
a rough township. But to undertake
to run a snide machine on 7 gills of
oil, "outside limit," it "can't be did."
And this beautiful amendment or
improvement, illustrates- well how it
panB out toundertake to' remodel one
of these bogus machines, while in use.
The thing wants'to be thrown into
the Jence corner and a new machine
built that will do,theork.
My friend thinka;my machine il
lustration noi very good, but puts the
question to me as a business man
whether I would buy a new and ex
pensive machine, without an under
standing wlththe manufacturer or
his agent, that if it did not accom
plish what it professed to do, it
might be returned. 1 answer no, and
we propose to return it. It was said
by those who read the contract that
there was a provision for its return
and so understood, but it seems there
was not, bo the manufacturers added
that proviso to it last winter when
they made that beautiful 7 mill im
provement along with some others
just as good, that I would like to
notice, but I do not want to crowd
the argument. If the illustration is
not good, don't use it. We bought
the machine to work in any condition
of ground, sticks and dirt in and
under the wheels should make no
difference with its work.
In reference to the cast-off bridge
that Monroe got when I was com
missioner I will Bay that I have raised
a large family and was poor as "all
large families are," and had a pair of
pants too small or had a hole in the
unmentionable and was fair material
otherwise ; I had the wife to remodel
them to fit some of the smaller ones ;
if too short, splice them, whether
colors corresponded or not; they
were whole, warm and good. So the
bridge.
The resolution of the Sherman,
board that was so quietly snubbed by
the supervisors spoken of, related to
the pay of assessors. A protest
against the payment of assessors by
the town, as there was no law re
quiring the town to pay it, but a plain"
law requiring the county to pay it,
and as they finally had to do this last
year. The law was never changed,
and the money paid to assessors the
previous year should be refuuded to
the respective towns. That was the
substance of the resolution, and it
was expected the supervisors would
back it and protect their constituents,
but they did not, and no one in the
county bhowed any disposition to
claim their rights, not even my friend.
Finally, my friend says that one of
the most remarkable features of this
crusade against town organization is
the number of ex-comtciesioners en
gaged in tho movement, and says
perhaps he may be able to' shed a
little light in the future, but in the
meantime advises the supervisors to
scan cloaely the signatures or char
acter of the petition, &c. Now, I
wish to inform my friend that the
supervisors hare nothing to do with
it, and that he haB several times
thrown out insinuations about the
honesty of ex-commissioners ; if he
desires to attack the official record or
honor of ex-commissioners, I will say
for my individual self that I am able,
ready and willing to defend my own.
There are nnmerous reasons why
the ex-commissioners should be ar
rayed against- town organization
under oar laws ; among these is the
fact that they can see the outrageous
defects and enormous expense our
county is put to. Some.eight or nine
years ago we bad unpaid warrants to
the amount of $9,000, or $10,000, now
it is about $40,000, and. the indica
tions are good to increase it much
more, and I can assure my friend that
the men who are put into power to
run the finances of tho county have
no pic-nic if they do their duty.
I remember that during the late
war, on some occasions, the rebels
wonld make a charge on our lines
with furious and uuearthly yells at
the Yankee devils, and swing their
rebel rag with but little shooting,
that all they had to do was to scare
us into a retreat It was usually un
derstood by os at such times that they,
were short of ammunition- and all we
bad to do was to wait till they got at
close range, then give them Hail Co
lumbia in Dixie's land.
Now, in conclusion I will 'say, that

will be ex-town boards, and 'in all
probability will be a great storm after
that event, for I remember a short
time ago I heard a low, deep, ominous
rumbling west of us that forebodes
a great storm, and I exhort my friend
to have his house in order, and be
prepared against the day of wrath.

Having noticed in a number of the
back Journal's this subject agitated,
I feel somewhat interested in the
matter. As a tax-payer and as a
lover of justice and right it looks to
me as if the subject is being agitated
at the present for the purpose of try
ing to overthrow tho organization, as
it is claimed in the interest of tax
payers and I will, through the col
umns of the Journal, ask some one
who knows and will, to answer the
following questions, and 1 desire
figures :
How much money did Walker,
Wise and his colleague receive for
services as commissioners ? I desire
figures, no guess words. And how
much more money is paid our super
visors the last year? How much
more is our county levy, I mean mills
on the dollar, for the year 1885, than
for the years of 1879, '80, '81, '82?
How much money has been lost
yearly in taxes on personal property
by parties liable for tax who skip
out without paying? How mnch of
that money has been collected by the
several town boards making known
to our county treasurer where these
delinquents reside? To be plain,
readers, I am. in favor of township
organization, and can also state my
reasons which are trnly American,
but believing that these parties in the
opposition must have some good
reasons to put forth the efforts that
they are doing, to-wit : telling people
that they pay more taxes now than
they did in 1881, (reader so do I for I
had no taxable property in Nebraska
that year) again haying their papers
circulated as has been done in St.
Bernard township, getting signers,
the man getting the signers cannot
read (writes his own name with a
mark "x") carries the paper to church
and after services gets other signa
tures by telling them that this paper
Is for township organization and the
man is honest in this as he thinks.
I say men that will put forth such
efforts have or ought to have good
reasons for so doing, and I ask for
the reasons. If there is good or
economy in the movement, let us
know it plainly, so we can consider
it yet before election.
