Wet and Dry Seasons.
BY D. MACKLEY.

b I II. MAChLE1.
Many young persons conclude that
there never was so dry a summer as
the present one. | can remember
something about the seasons for the
past fifty seven years, and having lived
in Jackson county during all that
period, l propose to speak about few
very dry, and few very wet seasons.
There are some circumstances in each
Of these years which lead me to re-
member very dry, or very wet wealth
The summer Of 1927 was wet. My
father had two acre field planted in
corn that year, which field was situa-
ted on a steep north hillside, quar-
ter of mile south east of the Jeffer-
son Furnace. The soil Of this field
was sandy, and many small sand stones
lay near the surface. The corn was
planted early in May, and soon after
it was planted there was hail storm
the like of which | have never since
witnessed. The little corn field was
so washed that the corn was re-plant-
ed, but the first planting also came up
pretty thick, where the seed corn had
been washed about.
During that summer, in one Of the
heavy thunder storms, a great oak
tree on the south west of our house
was stricken by lightning, and strip
of wood some four Or five inches wide
and two or three deep, was taken out
of the side of the tree from the top to
the roots.
The summer of the year 1880 was
dry. The Ohio Baptist Association
was held at the place where Oak Hill
was afterwards laid out. This was the
second Saturday and Sunday in
August. We lived two miles west,
but some four or five Of the preachers
stopped with us, and we had to take
their horses half mile to get water.
Just below the place where the road
crosses bridge, near Jefferson Fur
mace, there was deep hole Of water
in the Black Fork Of Symmes Creek,
which had not dried up, although the
water in the creek had ceased to run
for along time. Il
The summer of 1888 was very dry.
cut cord wood at Scioto Furnace
during the latter part of that summer,
near road that was cross-laid with
fence rails. We called it railroad.
It was three miles east of the Fur
mace, and there was an extensive coal
ing out there. Teams were passing
all the time, hauling coal and ore, and
could see the dust long way off,

Our old friend T. B. Dickson, of

YIN Olu lIlcuu l.. -. DlChdSOu, VI
Hiawatha, Kansas, in writing to re-
new his subscription, says:
"Our corn crop will be short about
one-half of the usual crop, though we
have plenty, and to spare. Many
fields Of corn will yield go to Is BUSH
els to the acre-felds that were plant
ed early and well cultivated, and had
the benefit of an occasional shower,
that was not general over the country.
We are having quite boom" in
building, this summer, in town and
country. The extension Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad from Atchison,
Kansas, to Omaha, Neb., crosses the
St. Joseph & Western Railroad on our
town site. Track is now being laid
at this point-steel rails, and we will
therefore be on a through line from
the Pacific by St. Louis-thence east"

ALBANY, May 26.-The battle of
the ''stalwarts" and "half brseds''
RACES fercely. The leaders ON both
sides are working night and day to
"yard" their men and "brapd" them.
This is difficult task, and even when
once "yarded" and marked, some of
the henchmsn manage to slip out and
get oyer to the ether crowd. It ID .
struggle between gratitude for past
favers from the ''stalwarts" and the
lively expectation Of favors to come
from the sshalf breeds aud the Admin
istration. That favors TO come are
placed before thoir ey, In the current
talk Of the hour. The Custom House
patronage is being put where it viii
do the "half breeds" most good. This
is the first time that Senator Conk-
ling since his contest with Fenton
twelve years ago has been placed In q
position where the Custom House pat
ronage 10 used against him. As soon
as Conklipg secured his representative
as Collector he defeated Mr.. Fenton.
During his fight with the Hayes Ad-
ministration the patronage ofthe Gus.
tom House was 90 handicapped with
civil service rules that 1t did not be-
como factor Of the least weigh,
against Conkling. Ali this II now
changed. Patronage 10 now not only
an element but power In this contest
against Conkling. Mr.. Cowlsy, Of
Monroe. who was one of the hrst sign,

ILLEGAL LIQUOB TRAFFIC.
Batlfm Brady's Plans for its Erect
ual suppression.

The new liquor law, and the appoint
ment OF baiiiff for the suppression Of
illegal selling, puts an entirely different
phase upon the sale of liquors In this
city. Already number OF dealers
whose applications for license were re-
fused have called upon Bailiff Brady to
learn what course he will pursue, and
all have been promptly informed that
tho law will be strictly enferced. Not
only will unlicensed dealers be rigor-
susly prosecuted, but these having L.
csnses will be held to . strict observance
ofthe law. Sunday selling, In particu
lar, will be sternly dealt with. II is The
intention of the Court to refuse to renew
the licenses OF those convicted of viola
ti0ns Of the law, and to grant none to
those who sell illegally at any time. All
the unlncky applicants who called upon
Mr.. Brady were advised To promptly
close their places Of business and sell no
liquor under any circumstances, ~ by
this plan they would be most likely 10
gain the favor Of the Court when they
again make application for license.
Tomorrow Bailif Brady will call
upon the unlicensed dealers, about sixty
in number, and notify them personally
70 cease their business. Ali violations
subsequent to this notice will be acted
upon BY him. Tomorrow afternoon be
win meet with the licensed dealers, In
the Herdman Building, and explain the
provisions Of the law and the manner in
which he intends to enforce them.
He desires to correct the impression
existing in the minds OF soma dealers
that the new law does not go into efiscI
until June 10th. 1t is already In effecI
aud will be enforced forthwith.
An important fact for licensed dealer,
to bear In mind 10 that the new law re
quires them under peDalty Of $50, Il
hang their licenses in q conspicuous pos
ition In their places Of business. Here
tofore many dealers never troubled them
selves TO take their licenses from the OF.
fice Of the Clerk Of the Peace. The,
will have 70 be particular ln this respec
