Last Tuesday evening the people Of Maple |
Glen neighborhood were highly entertained
by lecture, or social talk as he termed it,on
Europe, by Judge Goode, Of Plsinield, N. j.,
who has just returned from trip through |
that country. He has been spending week |
| here with his relatives, Messrs. John and |
Robert Smith. He gave q very interesting
| account OF his travels and obssrvstions while |
| In Europe and told much OF the manners |
and customs Of the people there. The lee |
ture was full of instruction. and interest, IN |
| terspersed with fun and good humor. All
who failed to attend missed rare treat.
While tho corn crop will be cut short byt
the drought 1t will not by any means be Q
| failure In this county. In some places the |
| chinch bugs have done q great deal Of dam |
age, but where these little pests have not
foraged there are some very good crops
Mr.. X. ]. Smith, who called on US few days |
| ago, says that he has q field that will make |
| twelve barrels to the acre. OF course this |
| ia an exceptionally large yield, but where |
there Is one such field there must be many
| that will approach It. All the early corn will |
make . fair crop. This is . wonderful coun- |
try to stand drought, and those farmers who |
got their corn planted In fair time, and cul. |
tivated 1t well are going to have Johnny
cakes and something to feed to their stock |
The "chinch bug" fields are the unfortunate
ones.
Last Friday night Mr.. W. G. Eggleston,
in starting home from the lawn party at Mr.. |
Keene's, and while still In the front yard,
drove his team across Q forked log In order |
| to get into the road. Just as the team were
stepping over the log, q dog barked near
them, and one of the horses reared, and as
he had been newly shod, his hind foot
caught In the forks OF the log, and the horse
| fell, breaking his hind leg at the knee joint. |
The horse belonged to Messrs. Green l. Cor |
| don, and was valued at $50. Mr.. Eggleston
offered to pay for the horse, but these gen.
| tlemen examined into the facts. and became
| satisfied 1t was not done through careless.
ness, and told him they would be satisfied
with $75. He paid them $50, and as neither
he nor they cared to be troubled with the
animal, and not wishing to kill him, they
told Dr.Owens that he might have the horse
The doctor has him under treatment, and
thinks he will soon be almost as sound and
valuable for farm work as ever.
| We had hoped TO be able to print the in
side Of this issue by steam, but have found
much more work in fitting up shafts, pull
| leys, pump, &C., than we had anticipated,
and will consequently not succeed In using
the engine until the latter part OF next
week. 1t will ensbIe US to do Job work more
expeditiously, especially where there are q
large number OF Impressions to be made.
This. with some improvements to be made
to our job presses. and the new type We
have purchased for that purpose, will enable
US to DO work AS rapidly as 1t can be done
anywhere and As we'll. We hope hereafter
that no one In Lafayette county will think it
necessary to send printing abroad. especial
ly IN blanks. pamphlets, &c. Onr friends
are invited to Call after next week to see
how full and complete printing ofice we
have; until then our press room will be In
too much confusion for US to receive them
| there.
