Columbus Republican. If men have to stop in the midst of the planting season to repair fences, work will be delayed, aijd.it will be impossible to get through with it in time. The commissioners should order that no, stock shall run out until such a time as the farmers can have their fences repaired which will not be tor several months The interests of the farming community demand it, and if it is not done thousand? of dollars will be lost by the ravages of stock and loss of time in repairing fences that should be used in getting in h( crops. The State of Illinois appropriates $lO,000 for the immediate relief for the sufferers by the dreadful Braidwood mine disaster. It will be fully three weeks before a single body can be recovered from the pit.
