John A. Logan1, career was brilliant one and di'iuotistrittc again what may be accomplished by untiring energy ami Miduity, He was distinctively a H'll'-linule matt. He enlisted in the Mexican war without any previous knowledge whatever of that art. Though young and inexperienced, he demonstrated that he could be soldier, lie has ever been the Meal of the citizen soldiers of the late rebellion. His record in that war is not outshone by any.

Since the war, he hits been one of the lirst statesmen of the land. Whether in the front of battle or at the head of political hosts, he was ever bold, fearless anil aggressive. Those suspicions of dishonesty and self-aggrandizement which have lurked around so many of our statesmen since the war, were never breathed against John A. Logan, ne lived economically and yet died poor, in his death our country loses one of her bravest soldiers and wisest statesmen. It is useless to speak of tho possibilities that, lay before him, had he lived another decade, but death, the relentless avenger, ha seen lit to cut him down in the prime of his manhood and iu the vigor of years.

His voice will be heard no more at the head of a victorious army or defending freedom in the halls of congress, but his memory is enshrined in the hearts of millions who to-day mourn his Ioh. TOWNHHIP. Unit in Urn Mil. The follow ing letter recently chanced to fall into our hands. Saiiatou.1, Dec.

That was the best 1 could do, and I thought better that than nothing. Caswell is about tlead with consumption and 1 fear that collecting from him is a hopeless matter, There is (juite a disposition here at this time to consolidate Saratoga and Pratt Center. The Center is giving lots to any one that will move a building from here on the lot. Shall 1 move your house if I can get a good lot over there to put the house on? I think it the best you can do. By doing that you can save your property and eventually get some money out of it.

Let me hear from you at once. Very 'Truly, J. Bowman. Here is this "Pratt county" gentleman who has been posing before the people as possessed of such high traits and tine-haired morals, trying by misrepresentations to non-residents, to undermine his own town and neighbors. Here is the man who has so persistent ly claimed that he was for Saratoga, proved a hypocrite and falsifier by his own act in writing.

While the honorable, upright citizens of Saratoga have been working with untiring zeal for this town's best interests, right in their midst has been and still is a "wolf in sheep's clothing," in short, a traitor to their interests, a spy in their camp. Whatever his "other qualification, he has assumed this role and deserves treatment accordingly. Those to whom he has talked against the bond propositions south-east of here, will know where the animus of it comes from. It is merely the Center working through their pliant tool. Paul Trultt P.

ry the election. All talk of Pratt getting out another petition is folly, and if they should, no farmer having the county's interests at heart, will sign it. They have already put the county to thousands of dollars expense by one illegal petition, and no other should be signed until the Saratoga petition now in the courts is disposed of. In short, be careful what you do, for the Center is about ready to do something to bolster up their ricketv craft. TheReoM.ster man will find ere he has tna.

In this connection, the question suggests itself, of what utility are our $10,000 water works in case of fireP We have a wind-mill, an imposing looking tank, there is an alleged well and the mains are laid. But tbe most essential element necessary to the extinguishment of a fire, namely, water, seems to he, wanting. It scums to us that some provision should be made at once to furnish it. The $10,000 already Invested is money thrown away unless something is done to provide water. If it requires another appropriation it will cost no more to makeitatonetime than another.

Before we talk of street railways, eloctic lights and $10,000 hotels would it not be better to complete what is already begun. Let's be off with the old love before we are on with the new.
