Big CoRS.--Naylor, of the Chatham
House, brought into our sanctum the other
day an ear of corn nearly IL inches in
length well proportional and filled to the
very tip with sound kernels There may
net be much consolation to cur farmers in
the fact that this big specimen cane from
Kansas, but it may encourage them 10 know
as we can testify from actual observation,
that the greater part Of the corn in Buchan-
an County, this year, is better than that
grown in the "corn region Of Illinois. Corn
in this region, considering the gauntlet of
rain, hail, and cold weather, is a very fair
crop.

ArrLEs.. Mrs. Knight made us a very
acceptable present this week of number
of apples raised in her own orchard, just
east of town. They were of several varie-
ties. some of them quite large---one weigh
ing over pound and all as fair and tempt
ing in appearance as fruit raised anywhere
else. The time was, in the days OF trees
from eastern nurseries, when the popular
mind had settled down upon the conviction
that fruit could not be raised in Northern
Iowa, but that notion has passed into the re-
gion of exploded humbugs. Mrs. Knights Or
chard is yet young, but has this season well
repaid the care given it; yielding in some
cases I and bushels to the tree.

MuHsoN & DUSHAM-- Great changes
have been transporting in the store in Nun
sons Block, during the past two weeks.
Durham has purchased one half of the
block and formed partnership with Mr..
Munson. They have torn down the par
tition between the Durham store and that
recently occupied bp Weidenfeld, and have
filed the magnificent room which this
makes with large stock Of groceries, boots
and shoes and hardware. 1t is not neces-
sary for us to say anything in praise of the
new firm. They ere well known as men of
integrity and good business qualifications,
and undoubtedly will at once enter into a
large and remunerative business.

CursLEY & MoEsE.-In the hurry Of
making up our paper last week we mad
vertently omitted to call attention to the
new advertisement of the above firm in the
BULLETIN. They have just received their
new stock Of fall and winter goods, com
prising almost everything in the line OF dry
goods. clothing, boots and shoes, and of
every variety and style. The firm have a
reputation Cor taste in the selection of
goods, and we think the ladies especially
will be well repaid by visit to tie store
next the bridge.

TIE New School BuILDISG.--The en-
tire contract for building the new School
House on the west side of the river has been
let to G. A. & NJ. J. Baker, Of Cedar Falls,
at $l7,e50. The. contractors have already
broken ground on their job and expect to
complete the foundation to the surface of
the ground before snow flies. Enough of
the bonds voted for the erection Of the build
ing have been negotiated as par to meet
present expenses, and parties stand ready
to take the whole upon the same favorable
terms whenever issued. The School Board,
however, have very wisely determined to
save interest by issuing them no faster than
the money is actually needed in the prose
cution OF the work.
