campaign; at HILLSBORO. Centre folks held a fleeting at tho yehool house on Monthly evening, presented their side of the county-seat question, and endeavored to proyo, though of course without success, that the removal would be detrimental to the. real interest of llillsboro. Several Hillsboro speeches were also made, but the, utmost good humor characterized the meeting as a whole. The Marion Centre brass hand was present and called the people together at the school house.

We are willing to bear a good deal of plain talk to hear good music, and when the last piece," In the sweet and Bye," was played by the band, we ci mldn't help feeling that it was chosen Iiir.o'nr particular benefit. Tho house was soon crowded by a large and very respectful audience, and our county attorney unmasked the Marion Centre battery, lie was followed by Messrs. Loekwood, Carter, Billings and others, on the Marion Centre side, and by Messrs Knowlton, Dole, John Funk, C. E. Westbrook and others, on the llillsboro side.

We were glad to hear Mr. Billings clear himself and his bank from the charges of foul dealing in their inducement to Carry the railroad tax in this township, Considerable logic and eloquence was produced on both sides. The meeting was marked by good order and attention, and the chairman, Mr. Morris, proved his desire to treat fairly our Marion Centre visitors. Mr.

Ram-seier expressed a desire for some German speaking, and the Marion Centre being unprepared for such a pro-gramne, adjourned, leaving the llillsboro people to organize a German meeting, at Messrs.

W. REIFF. MARRIED. Sigle and Eufford, Corresdonik'uce for The Phonograph, The trial between the Eagle and Bu-ford sulky plows postponed last week took place last Thursday in Gale township, and was witnessed by a number of farmers and citizens. To saythe least, the decision as rendered" by the judges, was a grand mistake, and the well expressed and firm opinion of all present, except those of the judges, was unanimously in favor of the Eagle.

The only point, and by far the most important one, which all the judges agreed on, was the lighter draft for the Eagle. Figures won't lie, arid there was no way getting round them as obtained by actual measurement. The result of the calculations show that 470 pounds of draft with the Eagle throws as much ground as 611 pounds with the Buford, or it requires a little over 28 per cent, more horse ilesh to plow with the Buford than the Eagle, livery farmer will' readily see then that 100 horses will do the same work with the Eagle as 12S horses can do with the Buford or that th same team can plow 128 acres with the Eagle while they would only get through with 100 acres if hitched to the Buford, all other things being equal. Both plows did good work, but the Eagle a little the beBt it seemed so much, so that two of the judges could not possibly, or conscientiously, concede the decision to the Buford. Both are durable' enough to last as long as any implements kept in this country, and everyone can see at a glance the Eagle is easier to" handle-Now, this enormous percentage of saving in the way of horse flesh in favor of the Eagle alone would outweigh all other points allowed the Buford.

The figures from which tho judges derived their deductions can be seen at Hoover's hardware Etore, in llillsboro, where the Eagle plow is also for sale. If anybody thinks the biased, or unbiased act ion or decision of any judge, when some Of whom did not even have an idea of the nature of the coldest, and were deciding upon quality of work when draft was being tested, atld vice versa, can in any way misguide a prao Justice's Court.

GRIMES. At her home in Marion Centre, on Hunday April 24, 1SS1, at 2:30 o'clock a.m., Iks. Margaret Grimes, wife of Michael Urimes.agcd 65 years, 2 months and 24 days. Mrs. Grimes was one of the earliest settlers in Marion Centre.

Among the pioneers of her town none have held so high a place in the esteem of her noighbers. The sorrow caused by her death will be no empty show of mournings All the virtues which characterize true womanhood were hers. Neighbors have cone to other climes, or into the grave. Many have been long since forgotten; others spent their time in vain regrets at the flight of happier days but Mrs. Grimes found a place in the hearts oi all hew comers, as well as her old neighbors, who all unite in luourning her departure, flweet he her peaceful rest.

llillsboro ladies and gentlemen drove into the country a short distance east of town, and met one John Wand, druggist of Marion Centre, who was also' taking a pleasure ride to sniff the country air, and at time of meeting was having considerable trouble with a fractious horse. Jacob Funk, one of the Hillsboro party, was unable to restrain a quiet smile at the ludicrous ffcene which followed. Are you laughing at me, sir? demanded Wand, and Jake humbly confessed that he was guilty of the dire offense. Wand felt himself to be very deeply aggrieved by such outrageous conduct of oilr townsman, and expos-tiilatcd with Mr. Funk in language which miglit be called more forcible than elegant; not to put too fine a point on the matter, his words were loudly profane, and entirely too oh' scene to be iipprfcinted 1 ears polite.
