He has three hundred acres ia corn, and
much of it has been cultivated the second
time, aud the stand is uniformly good.
Bunny is boss of the rancho, and takes to
the cultivation of the soil like one born TO
the work. When the maturing suns shall
have filed the ears of this immense field, he

Gov. Powers, formerly governor of Mis-
sssippi, but for three years past making his
home at Prescott, Arizona, has been visiting
Col. ii. w. Lewis for Il week. They were

strong for publication. and would probably
beget us a libel suit. We can say this much,
however, that the superintendent Of insur-
ance records shows this c0mpany's capital,

j. c. Hyde did not attend the Kansas City
fine stock sales. as was announced last week,

The cool nights and cloudy days have not
only kept the weeds back, but the corn as
| well. Warm nights are indispensable TO
rapid growth OF corn, and no season in the
history of the State has been more cloudy
aud cool than the present one, so far. But
