Nothing gives a man more confidence in a town, when seeking a now location, than to meet with a hearty welcome at the hands of its citizens." the amount of fertilizer that is requi ed on an acre of that ground in order to obtain a crop, There seems to be an idea among some of our farmer friends that it would be a great benefit to the county to assess all real estate higher and give every real estate owner a rbaip of a stated amount per acre for every acre under cultivation on his land, whether he is a resident of the county or not. This is a new idea and we mention it to accommodate some of our friends. We do not feel disposed to discuss the question, but any to argue it are welcome to space in this paper.

But, when the law says they shall receive a pension ia proportion to their ability to do a day's work, we do not believe that means all nor do we believe it means as much as some of them have received under that law.

And farther, when the law gives the Secretary the right to look into the matter and decide according to the evidence in the case, we do not believe he abuses tho privclcge by so doing. We do say, and think he ought to give every old soldier, who is ailing, a pension ranging from six to twelve dollars per month, according to his inability to earn a support. He has no right to go beyond this point. It is not his business to make the law. Then if the people of the United States are not satisfied with the wayoid soldiers and sai losare being treated, let them pass a law pensioning-all ex-soldiers and HHilozs, and wo will be one of many to say amen to it.
