At Sabetha the train is halted alongside of q
cattle train, while the other cattle, those in the
passenger car, 60 up town and get dinner. AZ
ter dinner the pass engers solemnly contemplate
the cattle, packed in at the rate Of about three
or four to the square inch.
"How on earth" asked young lady, very
pretty young lady, who gets off ut Seneca, show
on earth do they pack them in so close Z"
"Why," asks q mld-looking young man, with
tender blonde whiskers and wistful blue eyes
he is an escaped divinity student, Just going out
to take charge Of Baptist church in Western
Karsas-"Why," he says, .did you never sec
them load cattle into q carr
"No," said the pretty Seneca girl with quick
look of interest; II never did how do they do
it!"
"Why," the divinity student remarked slowly
and very earnestly, "they drive them ali in, ex-
cept one, 0 big fellow, with thin shoulders aud
broad quarters; they save him for o wedge and
drive him in with q hammer"
Somehow or other it didn't look hardly fair
to me; nobody protested against its admission,
however, 80 it went on record, but the CONVEX
sation went into utter bankruptcy right there,
and the theological looking young man was the
only person in the car who looked supremely
satisfied with himself-BWdette, in the Harkeye.

ROCKCAsTLE COUNTY.


THE CRoPs.-The wheat crop in this
county is better than the average yield.
The crop Of oats is a failure. Corn, in
spite Of the late cold, and the difficulty in
procuring "siand," is looking we'll. There
is considerably more than the usual acre
age Peaches are a total miss, apples, in
some localities, are abundant and promis-
ing.
IMPRovENENTs.-The wOrkmen are now
tearing down the old building Of NJ. F.
Brinkley, and the new building will 60 up
like fash. DIR. W. p. Mckee will erect
a neat Office in the corner Of his yard as
soon as he can get the hands to do il. We
are glad III note these indications Of ener-
getic advanceaents. There is much of il
needed here, and we say, "Hurrah for the
man that improves"
COURT DAY.-Last Monday was County
Court day. There was the usual small
crowd in town, and little business in the
Court. Some sort Of Convention or cOun-
ell, was held by the Republicans late in
the afternoon, but as their proceedings
were secret, we are unable to say whether
they nominated a candidate tor the Legis-
lature or not Mr.. Houk, the Greenback
nominee tor that position, II is said, was
seeking an endorsement from the Republic
cans, bat the latter did not take kindly to
the idea.

Danville, is visiting her mother, Mrs. j. l..
Slaven, Of Pine Hill......Mrs. Sallie Crooke

KY, who has been on visit Of several
weeks to her parents at this place, left for
home Wednesday morning.
The COMMON ScHooIs.-The Board Of
Examiners held a session last Saturday for
the examination Of applicants for certif-
Gates to teach. The applicants were eleven
in number, and the course Of examination
mas rigid. There were few failures, but
most Of them procured "second-olsss" pa
pens. Only one "irst-class" certificate was
issued, and that was to our handsome
young friend, w. C. Mullins, Of Pine Hill
...... Miss Matte Lewis, one Of the best
and most popular female teachers In the
county, was a pupil at the last term Of the
Carlisle Normal School. She returned
home last week, and will teach this year in
the Freedom distriet......T The number Of
applicants for schools greatly exceeds the
number Of schools 10 be taught. We are
glad 10 note that the newly elected trustees
are endeavoring in most instances to pro-
cure the best grade Of teachers possible,

agreeing with the editor Of this paper, We
desire to say that We do not believe Judge
Hargis IA guilty Of the charges made
against him by MIR. Thos. NJ. Green. We
take Il that his denial and the proof which
he Offers in his defense, are good, and that
Judge Hargis has dow done all that any
innocent man would door would care 10
