Married AZ the he'd OF n Dying Mother.

Fayette, Missouri, Advertiser: A
few friends of the family gathered at
the residence of Mr.. R. NJ. Patrick, in
this city, Tuesday afternoon, to witness
the nuptials of Mr.. MILFORD Settle and
Miss Sallie Patrick. The wedding was
to have taken place to-day (Thursday),
but the mother of the bride, who has
been very low for many months with
consumption, had been sinking rapidly
for several days, and it became evident
she could only survive few hours 1t
was her desire that the marriage should
take place before her death, and at her
request all former arrangements were
waived and the marriage ceremony was
performed at , o'clock Tuesday after-
noon, by DR.. w. G. Miller, in the pres,
ence Of the family, DR.. Radford, the
family physician, and few intimate
friends, the solemn vow being given at
the death bed of the brides mother.
The scene was very impressive, one
never to be forgotten by those who wit
messed it.
The young couple thus united under
such trying ordeal, have our best
wishes along the journey of life, and rs
they grow older may the skies grow
brighter.

Facts AbOut wheat.

Reports from experienced wheat
growers in this state and Ohio give some
Important facts in regard to the value
of the different varieties experimental
with both this and last year.
The Fults wheat has stiff straw is
hardy, stands up we'll smooth head,
amber grain, ripens in June, yield ex'
cellent, and, being hard and tlinty,
stands much wet weather in the field
after harvest
The Russian ripens same time, is
bearded, red berry, good straw and
hardy, but the straw is not quite as
stiff as the Fultz.
The Clawson ripens the first week in
July, smooth head, white berry, very
good straw, prime milling wheat, not
quite as productive as Fultz.
The Tappahannock ripens the FIRST
week in June, smooth variety grain
white, only half hardy, poor straw, ana
yield and quality inferior.
The Red Mediterranean ripens frst
week in July, bearded, red, is hardy
but the straw is weak, fair in quality
moderate in yield.
II seems from these experiments that
the Fultz and Clawson stands first.

"You see fellers, good way back
a long time before jograiy was dsooy'
ered-there lived an old farmer by the
name Of ProdIgll, and he had two sons,
He was pretty solid-lhe old man-had
several quarter'sections OF land aud
cattle, aud sheep, and hogs, until you
couldn't rest, There warn't no politics
in them days, aud so old prcdigai didn't
pit any fool notion IN his head OF run,

strictly TO the agricultural business, aud
threw money down into the barrel hand
over fist. Well, his boys come OF age.
and one Of EN- told the old man he d
take his sheer of the stamps that would
be coming 10 him when the head of
the rancho pegged out, He'd take his
right away, ind go OIL and prospect on
his own hook. Old Prod gave him half
ofall he had, and the smart Aleck shot
into the city the FIRST thing, He was
green you know, and the oappers spot.
ted him rs soon as he landed They got
him TO buck agin monte and faro, and
bunko, and it warnt long before he
reached the bottom nickel, He played
il on the soup.houses and free lunches
for awhile, but he got bounced al last,
and sent TO the rock pile for a vag,
When he come out the burned sneak
started home to get anoteer stake Old
Prodigal took him in, and got up bars
becue, and put up for him generally, |
The other son-the one which had stay |

this. 1t peared to him that he warnt !
gittin' a square deal And when the
old man took his Durham calf, and |
made meal of it for his brother he got
on his ear and called old Prods hand.
Then old Prodigal laid it down like
