It is interesting to go over to the county clerk's office and read over the names of those who have applied for army clothing and for rations until July and August. Especially is it interesting to look over the Walnut list of thirty. Who would have thought that wealthy township was in such a condition. We are glad to be able to congratulate Mission and Irving township. They report being able to take care of themselves. Padonia is also to be con- gratulated.

AUGUST 14. Lieutenant Randall, of the regular army commenced issuing rations to the destitute of Brown county. The Advocate says: "Lieutenant Randall doubtless thought there were more than six of us. The days were last Saturday and Monday when Bacon was plentiful. Twelve thousand were dis- tributed to 520 persons. Of this number there were perhaps two-fifths who really needed something to eat; the other three-fifths took the oath because they could, finding it much easier to swear it out than tosweat it out. Weare of the opinion that, the number of destitute in Brown county one week ago, or to-day is very small indeed. There was a time in April and May, and before and after when there were those in the county who were in actual destitute and hungry circumstances; but even then the complaint was not so much in favor of the people as of work animals and seed. * *
* When men who live in fine houses, drive sleek teams, have a good prospect for corn and lots of stock to eat it, and if no money, have credit, walk up to the clerk's office and confront a United States officer with the oath that they are scrub paupers, we confess ignorance as to what constitutes thoroughbreds. The most deserving men did not come to town Saturday, they said when their neighbors, who were well-to-do farmers, whose daughters had done real well in marrying not six months ago, could cheek their way to sow belly it shamed them and they were content to forage for roasting ears, potatoes, peas, beans, etc."
