Charles Downing. Wilson, Col. Cheney,
Kentucky, and one other we cannot
now mention. These several varieties
occupy about 2 II acres, and hr.
Smith estimates the present seasons
YIELD at over 100 bushels. We. enjoy,
ed rich repast as We were invited to-
sit and eat, which we did till the ber-
ries we're too mshy for us,-:-a sea OF
carrnine all around us. MIR. Smith
utilities all his ground like the true
gardener He raises three or four
crops off one piece of ground, for In
stance: his early cabbage field is in
terspersed with squash hills every
third or fourth row, and lettuce is
transplanted between the plants BY
the time the cabbages are large enough
to demand the ground the lettuce is
out of the way, and by the time the
SQUASH vines call for more room the
cabbages are marketed. In this way
he makes one acre yield as much as
otherwise would demand four times
the area of ground. The various gar
dens are 80 arranged that there is no
Inconvenience to be apprehended from
a mixture of seeds. The Allen Plan
ct Jr for sowing and wedding is Who'll
ly used by Mr.. Smith who highly rec
ommends it above all others .fr.
Smith has paid for seed the present
season about 100. Although he has
a big thing on his hands, he proposes
each year to make it bigger, and ulti-
nately TO furnish every town on both
railroads with vegetables and fruit as
early as they can be procured from the
Milwaukee or Chicago markets. We
wish Mr.. Smith the most abundant
prosperity and We know his determine
ton and enterprise will win it for
him. ~
HI:.aNays.- Only four yesterday
. morning, all in heap like verses in
an epic poem. First, Gen'l Reynolds
frey charger cast his net and lit out
for the race track to determine, we
suppose, if h. could get around the
half mile ring in six minutes. and of
course Cnoper's milk cart took except
ions, and proceeded to chase it up
, Sampson lane presenting the urchins
with tin wedding presents along the
route. This made Nike. Ab2l's patient
animal indignant, SO he "tied loose"
with a little beer keg in white. and a
dozen or so of girls with revenue
stamps on 'em, making EN- jingle,
which grated on the tin pan an, of
Doc Writer'S cream colored mule.
Johnny, we believe it was Johnny
who was driving, who would have pro-
ceeded to scatter pukes and purges
over the highway, but for Johnny who
took in the UNDERESTIMATE al a
glance, and checked the reused ire of
the beast in a mastery manner, DEM
oustrating his ability to drive Their a
circus wagon or hearse at funeral.
The quartette busted the sulky.
Shall We have Il meeting Of the
, County Board. There is every
, reason why the new County Board
should come together, and not one for
, longer delay. Interests the most
vital are awaiting its deliberations
The q B. & NJ. r Il. bonds will
have been sued very soon if some action
relative thereto is not Immediately
, taken by the proper authorities, and
, none other than the county supervisors
are authorized to, or can take any
action in the premises. That the com
: pany will obtain a judg if an
action is brought and the case prose-
;. cuted is as sure as anything CAT be
not already determined, Negotiations
f are in order. Compromises may avail
e something if the county board is dis
posed to take cognizance of the mat
: ter, but in the first place We must have
i, a Board. We know of several bills
that of right ough. no longer to be neg
] lected, and much other business that
: will probably come before the body
for its immediate action, but We have
i, no body, and the old corpse is too dead
