Mr.. Charles LOOMS has made additional
improvements in his store.
Our friend, Van Anglen, must be sure,
hereafter, not to "make" hay when the sun
shines. He must "gather" it. Nature sup
plies the hay, and the farmer gathers or
collects" it.
The rain fall Thursday night, inside of one
hour, was n and ffty-seven hundreths
inches. This is a great deal of water to fall
in SO short q time, an inch in a whole day be-
ing quite q good rain.
Mr.. George Wilson brought two prairie
dogs from Texas the other day. He turned
them loose in the bank Thursday evening,
when one of them sought refuge in the CHM
ney, and was still cup the due" at last ac-
counts.
So far as we have been able to learn, the
wheat crop of Lafayette county will be an
average one, last seasons yield being ex-
ceptionally large. Our farmers ere becoming
more systematic and careful in wheat grow
ing ;still there is great room for improvement
There is not enough attention given to care
full selection of seed. The same rules that
apply to corn and other grains apply with as
great force to wheat raising. The large,
healthy grains of wheat will produce the best
berry-as in the case Of corn, where the
farmer is careful in choosing his seed. The
farmer who cleans and selects his wheat in
order to be able to SOW the very best will
almost certainly get the largest yield and the
best price in the market. The most success
full wheat growers sow upon clover lands
or sow clover and wheat alternately. By
turning under clover in the summer the very
best preparation is made for wheat. In this
way 1t Is estimated that from five to ten
bushels more wheat per acre can be raised
than by the ordinary course. Sow number
one seed upon clover land, and you will real
ize a much heavier yield and a much better
quality of grain. This is a subject of very
great importance to our farmers, as q little
reflection will show. W. express our view
OF It, and we should be glad to print the
| opinions Of our farmers upon it, as well IS
upon all kindred questions.

The telegraph tells us this story from
Sedslia the first trial un.
der the Downing law resulted in the
conviction of the defendants. 1t ap-
pears that two weeks ago last Sunday
the Sunday-school of the German
Evangelical church gave a picnic, at
which tickets were distributed, each
ticket emitting the holder to one glass
Of beer. A boy named Lyser-- got
some tickets, drank some beer, then
smoked . cigar, and became deathly
sick His mother found him in this
condition and the result was that on the
following day she filed q complaint,
charging George Schumacher, who dis
tributed the tickets, and John Helm
who supplied the beer, with selling
beer without a license. It was proven
that Mrs. Lyser had herself given, her
son the first glass Of beer, but never
theless the jury brought in a verdict of
guilty. and each of the defendants was
fined $40 and COSTS" Surely, all sen
sible people must applaud this verdict.
It matters not that the offense comes
in the name Of a church; The plying
with beer and tobacco of q child is not
only q violation Of law, but it is an out
rage of the moral sense of all good
men and women. If this punishment
in indicative of the fruits of the Down
ing law it promises to be q blessing to
tho state.
The beautiful in nature has some
thing to do with success in educating
the young. Lexington is a beautiful
place, situated on a bluff, above all
malaria, with a view of four counties.
The panorama that passes before the
eye as one gradually turns from left to
right when gazing from n of her hills,
taking in as it does miles of river, hills,
valleys, the bottom lands of Ray and
Carroll counties, forests, farms, and the
faraway line of blue upon the horizon lis
picturesque in the extreme. The sun
sets are grandly magnificent. It is an
in itself, simply to breathe the
pure air of heaven and to view these
scenes from day to day. lfthere is any
poetry III the soul of a boy or girl it
will develope it-not the poetry of
particularly, but the poetry
which enlarges the soul, which broad
ems thought, which fosters generous
impulses, and teaches the brotherhood
of man,
