Playing Seyen-Up for n Wife.

The epidemic of weddings which has
prevailed in Covington for the month
past has given rise to an incident that has
awakened much ccumiseration among
he gentlemen, and no small futtering
among the ladies. Three young Ken
tuckians had gathered for game of
whist. and, while awaiting the fourth, fell
to talking of the marrying and giving IN
marriage, each bantering the other to join
the loving caravan, aud each promptly
declining any portion of il for himself
Finally, It being agreed that they owed
one sacrihc to their country, 1t was de-
termined to play game of "seven-up."
the loser to marry within six months.
Solemn pledges were exchanged and the
game com menced amid the most profound
silence, They were all gentlemen of the
keenest sense of honor, and as likely to rob
the public treasury as to reDudiate bet
fairly won Itmay be conceived, therefore
how earnestly contested was a game upon
which hung so heavy stake.
From the very start luck set in against
the most confirmed bachelor of them all
"a gentleman thoroughly at home In So
ciety, and much admired by the sex. but
as deeply opposed to matrimony rs Deci-
mus Roach or St. Simeon Stylites. He

game avoided him as society does a con-
Wet, and as his last opponent went out on
a turned Jack, his hand came down on
the table with terrific crash, and a half
shout, half groan, Its just my luck"
This was his only complaint. however.
He took his loss as quietly as usual May
be he drank few more glasses of beer,
and sat little later over the fire place at
night. May be his laugh was a little
less CHEEKY, aud the hsggard look about
his eyes more frequent, but he made nc
moan. Sympathy was profered him in
abundance, but he quietly put it aside.
A half dozen good parts. were sugges.
ted. but he gave the testers to under.
stand that he was competent to cnoosl
his own wife. and there was a sort O,
savage look about his eyes that rendered
jesting uncomfortable.
Nobody knows. as yet where his choice
may fall, and the general impression is
that when the time draws near he will

EDITOR NEWS: do not believe in
making statements through the papers
that will not hold good. A. III. Wees
ner in his statement to the NEWS gives
the average yield of wheat at twenty
bushels to the acre. Now, l have
made some little observation, and can
safely say that where one field of
wheat yielded twenty bushel to the
acre there were at least eight that
would not yield twelve. This way of
overrating the yield is bad idea. 1t
creates wrong impression. 1 don't
mean to say that Mr.. Weesner would
purposely make wrong statement,
but it is evident he is wrong this time.
Such things are more of Il detriment
to country than a help. We have
every element here for the production
of large crops of all the serials, if the
proper care is taken in the preparation
of the soil and their cultivation.
The Rev. A. w. McCoin, OF Amer
icus, Protestant Methodist, seeing that
VIC nCIC dCSI1tulC Va PA-tASh-
ing at this place, finally volunteered to
serve us, and left appointments to talk
to us every two weeks. He is plain,
practical, common sense talker, and
although young in his profession is
destined to do much good. In his
short acquaintance with us he has al
ready made good impression on this
people, and to show their appreciation
of his services they have generously
contributed to the amount of $50 of
the necessary articles for the susten-
ance of life, which they have the as
surance is highly appreciated and at
the same time well merited. Mr.. Nc
Coin will preach here every two weeks
two weeks from last Sabbath will be
his day here, at 1O19 o'clock, prompt.
According to previous notice in
the NEWS the Pike Township Farmers
Club met at the school house at this
place, with, 1 regret to say, small at
tendance. There don't seem to be
of opinion enough to make
any project success. The farmers
store matter was pretty well discussed,
but no very definite conclusion arrived
at. The salaries of our county officers
was pretty severely commented upon,
the end of which is not yet.
Putting up hay is now the order
of the day, and a great amount will be
handled in the next two or three weeks.
1 think the yield is nearly up to the
last season, where the grass is under
fence, although the overflow in a
of instances cut down the
yield per acre. The late dry weather
has had a tendency to dry up the grass
on the upland, so that the quality of the
hay is injured to ssme extent. A good
soaking rain now would do an i'm
mense amount of good. j. E. L.

NEOSHO RAPIDS.

The prairie is fast being dotted
with groups of hay stacks. Many are
obliged to go three or tour miles out to
get good chance for hay, from the
fact that over Thousand head of cat
tie and two or three hundred head OF
horses range within three miles of
town.
The Rapids is fast getting to be a
great place for stock, and always was
good place. No better range can be
found in the country, and Badger,
Dry and Plum creeks furnish an album
dance of good water.
The yield OF hay on the prairie is
not very good; much ground is being
cut over that will not yield q ton to
the acre.
: My prediction that the Rapids
would follow the lead of Emporia in
the temperance movement seems to
have been premature. I'VE hope so.-

members of your body, who have

the correctness of their assertsons, a
petition, signed largely by those SYM
pathizing with them, was presented to
your body praying you to set day for
them to prove through the ballot box
the truth of their statement. Very
injudiciOusly, in my estimation, you
acquiesced and called an election, and
what is the result? Have they sus-
tanned their position Have the ma.

for this measure? Gentlemen, the re
suit is before you. Not third of the

ALocAL SPoILED.-The other eve
ming q big granger was coming in on
the cross-lots road near the brick
school house, on a load of hay. At the
same time two smallish like grangers
were vending their way home in an
empty wagon. The wagons met.
There was crash. The wagons ran
into each other. The small grangers
stopped, looked arou nd ferocious, made
some remarks of a profane nature, and
extended an invitation to big granger
to ''git down if he wanted anything"
Big granger got down. We rushed
out for local. We pictured in our
mind tattered shirts, hair flying
through the air, 'button-holes'' over
the eyes, pools of blood, tearing up of
the ground, maullng, swearing, etc.
There was a bright prospect for rich
ness. But the prospect soon faded
Small grangers showed grit, but the
big granger merely fixed up his wagon,
jumped on the hay and was off. The
worst feature was that he spoilt good
local. That's all we care for.
