sPEAREVmLE DOINGS.

On the 18Th inst, between the hours OF
4 and o'clock, p. M, the voters OF Spea-e-
vile township met at the school house ard
organized themselves into q convention,
electing Josiah Taylor, chairman. The first
motion submitted 10 vote was to receive
votes for thirty minutes for the various can
didstes as delegates TO the county convention.
The motion being voted upon it was declar-
ed carried by the chairman; and after vote
were received for thirty minutes, the polls
we're declared closed, and they proceeded 10
counting votes; and after that had been GO
ing on Tor sometime, the chairman upon
own responsibility opened the polls and re-
ceived votes. That being considered illegal
and contrary to the usag.s and customs Of
conven ions, was the cause Of the Speare-
vile delegates being rejected at the county
convention on the 18th inst, causing them
to become indignant at what they considered
an injustice, and then left The convention in
a body, except VIM. Hsady. taking with
them Wheitland township delegate, and
crg AIMING themselves into convention at
the Great Western Hotel, proceeded to nom-
mate candidate, for the different county Of
fees, and the regular convention at the court
house did likewise. We are we'll aware that
it is necessary to have two tickets in the feld
but it wou!d have been much better to have
had the nominations made without 50 much
contention. wrangliug and bitter feeling.

SWEET PorAToD.-A Meade county gar
dener says there ia no end to sweet potatoes.
He has been digging and eating from the
beginning Of one, and has no expectation Of
reaching the other end Of that potato upon
his own land. He came for legal advice;
wants to know If he be- any right to 90 up
on another persons land to dig pototoes,
even though he can prove he planted the
seed upon his own land. Any intelligent
judge or jury, we'll acquainted with our soil
in ths county, would rule, that, II the po-
taio seed were planted within forty rods Of
the line, that any one owning the seed and
planting the same upon his own ground, can
follow the drift and capture the potato, even
though they BE- mile or more from home.

beeak bounds without owners knowledge OF
consent. Pumpkins. mslsns, equashes, pea.

Volunteer cottonwood trees will surely
come if you keep out the fires. We have
heard this often, and now We believe it. On
our homestead, two miles north Of town. are
growing nine cottonwood trees. from two to
four feet high. These sprouts are growing
on land that was broken in August OF last
year and in May of this year. The seed un-
doubtedly waited with the breeze from trees
in Mr.. Zimmermann's fields, his trees hav-
ing borne eeed for two years past. John
Anderigs, who lives about four miles north
west OF cur place, has about seventy-6ve cot.
tonwood sprouts that have come Up on land
broken this summer. These volunteer shoots
thrive on newly broken land for the reason
that cod ground holds the moisture much
better than cid plowed land, the surface o.
the sod not baking to crust as is the case
with old ground early in the season, which
may possibly prevent the tender seed from
terminating. This would seem to be the
reason as the seed undoubtedly had equal
Oh ,ncee on old and new ground. Tie cult
walton of forest trees under these promising
circumstances is encouraging. The land is
high and rolling, AID abou, 100 feet above
the level Of the bed of the Arkansas river.
There is nothing strange about this, hut We
refer to il as fact which establishes the pos
sibil,ty Of making the desert blossom rs 4
rose-if prairie fires are kept out; and thus
giving the cottonwood pollen chance to
germinate. No FIRE has gone over this land
for over four years past.
