One of the least comprehensive remarks
that we have noted lately was to the effect
that the corn crop was maturing rapidly and
very perfectly, owing to the dry weather.
porting this same crop as being in danger
from the same source. This thing Of farm
ing is one of the most intricate things We
know of and we are only sorry because we
do not own several hundreds Of acres in the
"Glades," so that we might use it for expert
mental purposes. Bat even then it is prob
able that we should not fad out about the
seasons; none ever have, it seems.

A LYNX, CATAMouNT, oR-W HAT.-ANou;
three years ago our people was excited over
the reports of an animal that prowcd in and
about the foot of ihc mountain, that uttered
a cry not unlike that of child. Some saw
it, others supposed they did; of the latter we
have u doubt, as they reported having seen
something very large, even Of the length Of
Il fence rail and tho height of a hcitcr. 1t il
probably lynx, or wild cat and a patient
watch with a shot gun would probably re
ward some one with q trophy.

does not rebel the bird will have "a full

That solution meets our hearticst APPROX

to acquicsce in the above and their desires
may be considered as being tantamount.

These good words are from the
Tucker Democrat, and right glad
we are to see SO many of the polit-
ical papers Of both parties coming
out aggressively on the side of the
People.
But here are the Democrats cheer
ing words:
"The temperance cause is strong
er to-day than ever before. A vast
number of our people are thorough
ly aroused on the subject and will
not stop short of absolute prohibit
ton of the manufacture and sale
of all intoxicating liquors in the
State if they can secure an amend
ment to the Constitution to that
effect. Many influential men are
espousing the temperance cause,
and the day is drawing nigh when
the matter will be decided by the,
people. The women are all on one
side and the question is march
ing on"
