Hon. g. w. Brown of Boone
county, and Wm. Brown, his father,
started from here yesterday morning
for Omaha, where George will take
in the State Fair. His father has
been visiting with him for some
months past, and thinks very highly
of Nebraska soil and climate. He
returns to his home in Harrison
county, Ohio.

Nebraska should be the most active
and busy of all the year. If winter
comes upon us like it did year ago,
there will not be a moment to loose
from finishing the hsying, threshing,
putting up snug shelters for stock,
huskiug corn and fall plowing,--all,
some or either, just as may be the
necessities of each particular farm.

ID. Anderson has returned from
Wisconsin with a hundred head of
yearlings and thirty calves. He says
that all along the road through GEN.
tral and northern Iowa and Illinois
and the larger part of Wisconsin the
corn crop is an average, and he don't

died in about fifteen minutes. Mr..
Bristol thinks the death was caused
by green corn, which had been CIV
en- it contrary to his orders.-Se,c-

"A five-inch snow last week at
Deadwood is indication that Winter
is lingering at no great distance
from us. No telling how soon your
haying may cease and your cattle
need shelter, and yet again, if we

kaus. The JOURNAL has found that
the most reliable weather prophets
are those who tell about it after
wards, and the surest way to man
