COTTON CULTURE In KANSAS.
CherryvilIe Globe.


There is not the least doubt that in the
near future cotton will be added to the
staple crops of this section of our state.
Its culture is no longer an experiment.
and many farmers are now turning their
attention to il. The experiments prove
beyond doubt that the climate of South
ern Kansas is particularly favorable and
that il is a much more profitable crop
than wheat or corn, Notwithstanding the
fact that we have the finest wheat grow
ing belt to be found anywhere in the
west.
The first man in this county 70 try
the experiment was Capt. McTaggaTt, Of
Liberty township. Last year he planted
Is acres, both bottom and upland and
although he did not get the seed until
late in the season, it came up nicely and
turned out we'll. He got from the TWEEN
" five acres twelve bales weighing five
hundred pounds each. When he saw
that the crop was going to be q success
he put up gin and press at an enpensc
of $1,000. He built the gin near his
water mill, and runs it by water power.
When il became known that he had .
gin farmers along the line of the X. g.
s. L. s. road, IS far north as Chanute,
sent cotton to him to be ginned, and the
industry at once sprung into an i'm
pOrtant and profitable one.
This year McTaggart has sixty-tive
acres in cultivation, and he says it is
looking much better than the last years
planting did ut this time. He cultiVates
il the same as corn, and finds exoduster
labor quito convenient and satisfactory.
Cotton seed ID an admirable fertilizer.
The Captain says his plan is to drill the
seed and then when the cotton comes up
thin out, leaving about two stalks in q
hill.
A great many exodusters have with

The number of marriages will be seen to be the highest for any year except 1874-5. The increase in the number of divorces is small
 The Hartford Post says: But so far as not appear that the repeal of the omnibus clause" in 1878 worked the miracle which was predicted. In point of fact it will probably be found that most of the divorces which were granted under that clause could have been obtained under specific allegations now enumerated in the law, but were al- lowed for general misconduct in order to shield innocent persons, particularly chil- dren. from the stigma attending the criminal relations of father or mother. Then there was discretion lodged in the court and the whole question of divorce was dependent upon it's proper and discriminate exercise by the judges, who were more at fault, if there was anything loose in the system, than the law under which they acted.

Cheshire,

The religious interest in the M. E. church still continues unabated, over 100 already having become the subjects of renewing grace, and 1t is an interesting fact that some of these have in the past been among the most hardened and profigate of any in our midst and often have made the midnight hour frightful with the shouts of their pro- fanity, revelry and debauch. But now what & changei A new song is put into their mouth, even praise to the living God, and in the great congregation they speak forth the praises of Him who called them from the ways of sin to the shining pathway of peace. For the past four weeks meetings have been held nearly every evening with constantly increasing attendance. The Rev. W. R. Webster, pastor of this church, is untiring in his efforts to lead souls to Christ, and assist ed by several consecrated laymen from Mer1- den and Ansonia has visited from house to house, holding meetings in manufactories, nifty is afforded unfurling the banner of the cross and inviting the weary and heavy laden to seek rest in Christ.
 few days ago the Rev. MT. Webster was asked when he was expecting to take 8 vaca- tion, to which he replied, 'f am now having royal vacation. find sweet rest in leading souls to Christi Surely for such faithful servant the crown in waiting must be all studded with stars A revival so extensive, and especially at this midsummer season, is indeed very unusual occurrence, and we are led to exclaim, 'sIt is the Lords doings, and it is marvellous in our eyes" It evidently teaches us this lesson: That God in the dis pensation of the Spirit is not confined to times or seasons, but whenever his people are ready and earnestly seek the Spirit g presence then the Lord will have mercy and will abundantly pardon.
