Why D. V. should desire to take our scalp, is more than we can imagine; we have no desire to attack him or any other of The Democrat's correspondents, but he, without cause, compared us to anarchist member of the black hand and a menace to society, and even spoke about the brotherhood of man. It is as much out of place for him to criticise ur

set himself up as a model, as it would be for the devil to talk about holy water. He has come just as near guessing who writes under the caption of the Three Corners as he did who wrote the Virgie items a few years ago. We will defend but we will not attack,and trust this is the last time we will be called upon to defend. But whoever runs up against the Three Corners, to which are attached lines that enclose us or tries to put new life into us with the sharp point bill of a hell-diver will find us in fighting array. We have all respect for the good people of Kankakee township ana remember many of them as our friends. Tefft too, has many good people, but I want to say they are in very bad company. We may be called upon at some future day to classify which parts belong to D. V. and which to Tefft.

Given Up to Die. B. Spiegel, 1304 N. Virginia street. Evansville, Ind.. writes: “For over five years I was troubled with kidney and bladder affeotions which caused me much pain and worry. I lost flesh and was all run down, and a year ago bad to abandon work entirely. I bad three of tbe best physiciana who did me no good and I was practically given up to die. Foley’s Kidney Cure was recommended and the flrst bottle gave me great relief, and after taking tbe aecoud bottle I was entirely cured." A. F. Long, druggist.

Vunn-ViUe Yes, sir; we are still in the arena. Charles Sands is working for Marshall Field & Co. at this writing. Mrs. Vandercar, of Knox, visited at the home of your correspondent a few days the last of the week. Mr. and Mrs. Hight were at Wheatfield last Monday on a shopping tour. Say, Ed, did you find those socks? If you wish to see a fine straw-stack, one built on a true scientific plan, just take a look at the one on the farm of Conrad Meyers. We can truly say that no one in this county can beat it. All that see it pronounce it an ideal. While getting a tank of water for tbe Collins & Wills threshing company, a few days ago, William Cullen got mired down in tbe river, and it was with difficulty and much mental effort that be succeeded in landing his outfit. Auother argument in favor of river cleaning. Let the three corner fellow with bis triangle make music, let him make melody; lor music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, saith the poet. He loves darkness rather than light because his deeds are evil. His diet of muck and flies, which he requested us to try, is surely a catcher of greatness. He can’t be on the square because it takes two like him to make a square man. He is on center, and oh, how he puffs. Ob, tor a horse-fly to light on the fly-wheel and give it a start

My friend of San Pierre, while co-op-erating with us and others in a threshing tournament a few days ago, had experiences that would turn the hair gray on a marble man. He loaded up a load of wheat and it immediately tipped over. We repitched it, and on his way he shed a bundle every ten feet, binder like. He drove up to tbe machine and this load caught afire while a cinder went down San Pierre’s back. While the cinder was playing havoc with his underclothes, San Pierre was pounding the flaming bundles with deep interest, tor he knew that it was a case of sink or burn. To cap the climax, a friend of his, seeing tbe flames and smoke issuing from his collar like Vesuvius in all her glory, throwed a tub of water on him and thus ruined a dollar hat. The triangle man of the three cornered tribe, shot at us last week but the shot was backed by weak powder and it fell at our feet. He imagined that he was loaded for bear, but he was only loaded for pewees. tor you can’t expect an airgun to do much damege. He tried to rise on the wings of eloquence, but his angelic wings were too weak. He said something smart about the clique we trained with, but of course he was talking at random, for as we train with the people of Kankakee township, he was trying to cast a reflection upon them. Such an attack, from a fellow who does not dare to tell who he is, amounts to nothing. Veracity is not coined by a fellow ashamed of his writings. By the Jersey bull and red flag figures of speech, he tried to represent us and him respectively; of course you all know that the red flag represents anarchy. To be the personification of anarchy is not very nice.
