The school board lately purchased a
tellurian, which will greatly aid the
teachers of our schools in explaining the
seasons, length Of days, tides, phases Of
the moon and many other ideas difficult
of apprehension by the pupil without ap-
paratus The principal has received a
fine microscope of high magnifying
power which will be used in connection
with the Botany class and for general
investigation of the mysteries OF nature,
too minute to be seen with the naked eye.
Fourth of July is coming, and the
committee in charge Of a celebration
have raised nearly $500, so good time
is assured. The American Eagle can be
joyful because he has a right to be.
Now, we hope the committee Of arrange
ments will plan something new and novel
for the crowds this year. Let us have a
change of program. A friend has sug-
gested an old-fashioncd barbecue. 1t
would be something new in Austin and
we are inclined to favor the idea. Lend
me, gods, whole OK barbecued."
The late S. W. Doak, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction of Tennes-
see, who died recently at his home in
Tuscolom, Queen county, was cousin
of Rev. S. G.. Lowry, Of our neighboring
town or Oakland, Freeborn county. Mr..
Doak and Mr.. Lowry were grandsons of
the pioneer Presby preacher in Ten
nessce, who founded the first educational
institution west of the Alleghenies. For
this interesting piece of news we are in
debted to Mrs. w. NJ. Catherwood of this
city, who is daughter of Rev. Lowry Of
Oakland. Mr.. Lowry is now in his eighty
third year.
The creamery is churning out the
yellow butter, and everybody about the
institution is busy with work. 200 gal
Ions of cream was received Saturday,
and the quantity received each day this
week will be double that of Saturday.
All the milk-setting cans are sold, and
the timers are being pushed for more.
The $50 carrying cans are also in use, and
80 more have been ordered to supply the
demand. Messrs. Page & Richardson are
paying 10 cents per inch for cream at
present, which, being higher price than
the butter market will warrant, will
probably soon be reduced,
Another new swindle, says the Vino
ma Tribune, is being practiced on the
guileless granger. Two rogues watch the
papers for estray notices. When one is
published one of them goes and looks at
the animal. Of course, on application,
the unsuspecting farmer shows the beast,
and the fellow decides it is not his, and
then he returns to his partner and de-
scribes the animal infinitely to him. No.
goes to the farmer, and after proving by
the thorough description that he is owner
of the animal, says he cannot take it away,
and offers to sell it at a bargain. The far
mer buys, and in few days the rightful
owner comes along and claims the animal,
and, of course, the farmer is out just SO
much.
Monday we enjoyed call from H. J..
Lockwood, a thrifty farmer Of Frankfort
township. He says the wheat acreage is
very light in his section. He has not
sown an acre of wheat this time; but has
rs acres in corn, and the remainder of the
farm in barley, oats and grass. BENZ.
Wright, Charley Lamb and F. Rafferty,,
all in Frankfort, have each about 100 acres
planted to corn. What change from
only year or two ago3 Mr.. Lockwood
has quite dairy. milking now 20 cows.
Several of these are but 2-year olds, and
a few are farrow, yet his income from his
cream for the past two months has ex-
