Carrent Comments.

As soon as the busy season is over and the farmers have more leisure time, they will lind it to their advantage to spend a few days at the -World's Fair. The new ideas to be gained from a study o f the agricultural exhibit alone, will much more than pay for the trouble and expense. It requires Us much brains and study to be a successful farmer as it does to succeed in any other vocation. * * * Two little boys play a game of marbles, fall into a dispute, and finally come to blows. A peace officer arrests the aggressor and drags him before a justice (?) of the peace, who fines him one dollar and costs, amounting to more than eleven dollars—one dollar to appease an outraged law and ten dollars to individuals whose duty it -is to» see that the law is enforced. Such cases are of frequent occurrence in this county. Great is the majesty of the law! * * * What has become of the Fleener & Perkins investigation of the county records. One of the bosses boasted shortly after the election that there would be no investigation and he seems to have made his word good. * * * Some one should present comTabor with a bicycle. The heavyweight on top of his shoulders would make it a difficult matter for him to maintain his equilibrim. * * * What has become of “Three Stars?” His latest effusion was over the nom de plume of “Ida May” and, Falstaf like, he seeks to hide his identity in the disguise of a woman’s gown. No wonder he is ashamed of his production. There are boys fourteen years of age in the common schools who are capable of producing a much more sensible article. * * * Hogs are way up in prices, but where, oh where, are the hogs? Barring the court house ringsters, they are few in numbers in Jasper county. Jack the Critic.
