fOrty-three Well-flled bOlls on it, several
of which are fully open, and all of them
show signs Of opening. The seed was
planted late in the season, simply from
curiosity. The size and thrifliness of
the plant indicate that cotton can be
successfully grown here. There is little

fact to a certainty. This only goes to

Leon Quill A few days ago Harrie
Jones brought to our Office a branch of
an apple tree on which there had grown
within a space of four inChes) ten well
developed apples. How is that for
drouthy Butler?
Moran Herald: A. E. CuIbertson has
on display at this Office a lot of potatoes
of the White Elephant and Red Peach
blow varieties, which say a good deal for
the prOductiveness Of his farm. One
potato which he had in the lot weighed
twenty-six ounces. II any one can beat
that, bring on your samples.
Baldwin V7s1or. Mr. h. P. Moore
brought to this Office two burrs of ma
tured chestnuts which grew on his
grounds, on Eighth and Jersey streets.
1t has been said that chestnuts viii not
grow and mature in Kansas, but this
proves thestatementtO beincOrrect. This
is the second sample of these nuts which
we have seen this year, grown in this
county.
Clay Center Times Al. Mussleman has
several fine chestnut trees In his ward
that are but three years old and measure
over twelve feet high. He brought as a
little tWlg on which are TWO perfectly
formed burrs, but the nuts seem to be
small. Age viii remedy this perhaps. 1t

widow, but is now the pride of a third
husband. The lady alludes to her hus-
bands as her "frst," former" and pres

ries of husbands one and two. The latter
she describes as a man who always en-
deavored to appear perfectly cool and
collected on every occasion. One Sum

were aroused in the middle Of the night
by an alarm of fire. The flames were
burning iercely, but the husband calm

Well, they finally left the room and got
out on the lawn IN safety, with their

the advantage of always taking things

she thoroughly agreed with him, but

A Doctor Wanted---The Troopers oi 40 Years Ago vH. the New Cavalry COmpany---B Business Dull ar
 the Bolt shop.

Editoq. Netrs:-It would seem with all the talent our pleasant village possesses. there might be found some one to give you week by week some little news items.
 We have professors, a chemist and ministers, but we lack a doctor and a lawyer We can perhaps get along without the latter, but the former l think we need and should think that some good smart doctor might make a good living with us, the nearest one lives three miles distant and that is quite long distance when a person needs doctor in an urgent case. We certainly need doctor here and think the right man might do well to locate in our pleasant village. We are only It miles from the Housatonic railroad. We have nice church, good schools, four mails daily to and from New York and everything except a doctor that IS want ed in country village.
 There is some effort being made at this place to form a cavalry company. They have had few meetings at the hotel of Mir c. H. Rowley and they are to have a meeting at Mir Dudley's at l might be formed in this part of Litch- field county, if some one will step for ward and push it. It wants means as well as force and we have some young men with us that might help the thing along and be a credit to themselves as we'll as to the state and county and when I look back 40 years when there was 6 company of troopers with their beal skin caps with black plumes, buff pants and vest, blue coat with buff trimmings I see that they maintained good com pany; why not now? I remember the last time the company appeared il Lime Rock. Capt James Reed of Corn wall in command. They numbered about 20 and the captain addressed then and told them they were made laugh ing stock at that time, but the tim' would come when company of troop CTS, as then called or cavalry as nov called, would be wanted. Capt Reed prophecy proved true, for when the re bellion broke out the demand was UT gent for good horse companies, but l took sometime to form and drill then before they were fit for duty.
 Now let some of our first men stel forward with their means and favor anC we shall have a good cavalry company for we have plenty of good young mel ready for the drill.
 Business IS little dull in Lime Roc, just at this time as the bolt shop Ina f been idle for the last two weeks, bu they expect to start soon; they have
 large amount of bolts made, somethin over 700, ,000, which will not be wante until April.

Legislative Notes.

An effort was made to increase the salary of the adiutant general from S12OO to $2000, but it did not work.
 A. H. Fem of Winsted is member of the proposed committee to revise the probate laws and report to the next general assembly.
 Senator Cook of Riverton at first de- clined to net as one of the committee to investigate the Storrs Agricultural school, but finally withdrew his decli- nation.
 The judiciary committee held on ev- ening session last week, to hear argu- ment concerning the Housatonic rail road taxes. President Barnum was present.
 The claim of Farley of New Hartford, which passed either the senate or house for several years, but only one at time, was up again this year and after being reduced from $12O0 to $500, passed both houses.
 The senate on Wednesday, passed the bill which abates over $14, GOO of the Valley railroad tax ;on Thursday they vot- ed to reconsider. The vote stood II for, II against. Lieutenant Governor Sumner cast his vote for reconsideration.
 The temperance committee had an immense audience when the bill allow ing women to vote on the question of license or no license, was given hear- ing. MT and Mrs John Hooken, Henry E. Burton and Judge Sheldon appeared in favor of the bill. The proceedings were of uncommon interest, several of the advocates of the bill are bitterly op- posed to woman suffrage.
 It looks as though Connecticut was getting along some on the road to civil service reform, when MT Hyatt, although democrat, was kept in office a few years ago by republican governor and now Senator Yale, a democrat, extols the virtues and good management oi Hon Jeremiah Olney. commissioner of school fund, the compliment must be deserving when it comes from his politl- cal opponant.
