ously given the use of the school bull
ding that our thanks are also due to
the church committees for their favors.
Amendment 1st. And that our
thanks are due to those who have SO
kindly lectured tor us.
I'd. RESOLVED, That our thanks are
due to the press of our county for
fav0rs shown to the Institute, and that
they deserve . moro liberal patronage
from teachers.
Sd. Resolced, That we recognize in
Mr.. Woods supervision of the schools
In our county an earnest and intelli-
gent purpose to promote their highest
intcreste, and that we heartily appre-
ciate the beneficial results he has al

him anew our constant help both in

much class work in our Normal Insti-
tute fails somewhat In giving Us that

have elementary instruction in the

for discussion and interchange OF
ideas.

without comment. Now, should ad-
yocate over fictitious signature, as

to restrict the franchise to those only
who could read and write, Just on the
eve Of . convention to nominate Rep.

can who had faith in the party, and
believed they would make all needful

me repeat that the question Of liCensl

US, and we cannot ignore them. We
may refuse to recognize them in our

understand that come two or three
fields OF wheat in the Southeast part

Of 40 bushels per acre this is about
six bushels in advance of the general
average of the country. Our wheat 10
of excellent quality, and brings $l.10
per bushel readily. The oats crop is
good, making from As to GO bushels
per acre. This crop has been dsmsg-
ed to some extent by heavy raina
which have continued from the Let Of
Of July up to the 2sth, ct which time
We had eight inches ofwatsr fall. We
are not dry by no means. Wheat has
also been damaged in some portions Of
the country, but not to any great ok
tent. Barley IL making from 30 TO IS

''ANOTHER WHAT Is IT,
A Jaw Bone Fit for a Moth
er.in-LaW.
Ten Feet Around and Full of
Teeth.

Mr.. e. L Warren, general stock
agent of tho X. & ID. NJ. railroad, in
formed . COURIER reporter this morn.
Ing of the discovery of one of the
greatest curiosi.ies of the age, near
Independent, Van Buren, county. He
says that either on Sunday or Mon
day, some person., whose name Mr..
Warren has forgotten, was on the
west side Of the Des Moines river
hunting aud came acroes the 10 1er
jaw-bone, In good state OF preserva-
ton, OF some animal of huge proper
lions judging from this remnant. It
was partially buried when discovered.
but was soon unearthed, rolled over
on the ground and . measurement
tsken which proved it TO be ten feet
around from one hinge to the other
It ie said to be in . remarkably good
state Of preservation, and several teeth
remain in the jaw. In turning it over
one Of the teeth dropped out on the
ground and was taken to Independent
where Mr.. Warren examined II at
length. He says that the tooth meas.
ures eight inches long from top to
bottom, 10 four inches across and 10
ribbed like fluting iron, although the
creases are fully three-fourth Of an
inch deep. The weight of this tooth
10 four pounds and nine ounces. Our
informant did not see II weighed, but
hes no doubt but that the weight 10
reported correctly. A party had
started after the jaw bone but had not
returned when Mr.. W, left. The
party who claims this relict Of . by.
gone age, We understand, proposes to
ship Il to Burlington and have 1t ex-
amined by Mr.. Letter, who can tell,
II any man living can, to what ago the
animal probably belonged, and We
hope he will give % ~ complete .
history Of It - possible.
