to the kinds already on exhibition at the
TRIBUNE office. The heaSs are nearly six
inches in length, ere bearded, and contain
kernels of grain of unusual size. Mr..

years and reports large yields from it.
Afield trial occurred in Mr.. Wunsch's

Quite number of friends gathered at
the residence of DR.. and Mrs. Hulhurd, on
last Friday evening, to witness the flower
ing of the Cactus. Refreshments were
served and the evening spent in social
pastime. The Cactus is of the night
towering species, cereus grandiaorus,
whose flowers endure only for part of a
single night. The flower began to open
in the early evening and by 10 o'clock was
in full bloom. The flower was large,
splendidly colored and very fragrant.
Rev. Henry Steadman, wife and two
children, of Mendoza. Illinois, arrived in

his wife, son and daughter; E. J. Mans
field, member of the Chicago board of

and are enjoying the delightful climate of

start for home the last of this week.
During the past few days there have
been quite number of harvest hands in
and about the village. At least, these
strangers pretend that they are here for the
purpose of getting work in the harvest
but we cannot help doubling the sincerity
of some of them, for when help is as
scarce as it is now they ought to succeed
better than they do. Some of their mum
Der evidently belong to the tramp per-
suasion and our citizens are being annoyed
by the calls of these fellows, and their i'm
portunities for something to eat AL
though these wanderers have not, as ,et
been caught in the commission of unlaw
full acts, yet it is best that the village au
thorities keep an eye on them.
The genial countenance of Henry Olson
of the firm of A. p. Krop s. Co., at Scan
| diaville, illuminated our sanctum for
short time on Tuesday. From him WI
| learn that the name of this new town is il
| doubt. There is another Scandiaville il
the state, consequently the post Office to b.
located at this place cannot receive tina
name. We understand the post office is t.
be called Cyrus. If it is to be so callet
the town will no doubt receive tie sam,
name. The name however will soon b,
definitely settled SO we will speculate n,
further. The store of A. P. Kron s. C,
is we'll supplied and is in fourishing con
dition, as their new lad" in this issue O
the TRIBUNE will abundantly testify. Tw'
other stores are also in good running orde
there. The town however is waiting pa
tiently for the cars on the L. F. & d., ant
as soon as they arrive numerous othe
buildings will at once be erected, other in
dustries will be commenced, and Scandal
vile Tor Cyrus will at once assert hcrsel
rs thrifty rural town.
