Drainage.

There is a notice of a citizens meeting in another column called for Saturday, May 18th, 1882.

He has done effective work on the stump for his party and he beat Mr. Colfax fairly for Congress. It took nearly three weeks to “count him out.” in Hake, Jasper, Newton and Benton Counties, aud put Colfax in; b> a bare 250. after about three recounts.
