the past week very warm, with splendid
rains 49, The corn crop is rs promising Us We
proper time, and no storms, the yield Of corn
in this vicinity will be larger than ever

slowly, on account of wet weather. Enough
has been threshed already 10 prove to us that
the crop Is just splendid, making from 20 TO
35 bushels per acre. The average of the en-
tire bottom will be at least % bushels per
acre, and Of a good quality. Price low buy
ers have been paying 6a to 20 cents per bushel.
The trial of the parties who were arrestedclar-
ged with riot. in tearing down three dwelling
houses on the land Of james Peake, came up
before Esquire Rawlings, Of Odessa, July "A.
There were about IS witnesses in the case,
which occupied two days in trying. 1t was
taken there on u change of venue from rs
quire Hale, of Lexington. The names of the
parties who were arrested are Thomas ii.
Casteel, james B. LAUGH, William Schrim-
scher and A. j. Porter. Marshal klOtz was
also one of the first that were arrested, and
he pleaded guilty to the charge when before
Judge Hale's court. There being nothing
proven against A. j. Porter, he was dis
charged. The jury brought in a verdict of
guilty against Thomas II. Casteel and
assessed his fine at $500. Also q verdict
of guilty against j. b. LAUGH and William
Schrimpsher, and assessed their fines ut 800
each. A pretty dear spree or frolic. MIR.

our next sheriff, has got the right ring TO ii.
II votes will tell, Joe will get there. He will
have an easy walk over....We hope Judge
Robert Hale will permit the use of his name
to go before the people ut the primary for
county court justice. He will get q strong
vote In this part of the county. We think
Judge Hale is the proper man for the Office
~ he has already had q good opportunity of
learning about our bond troubles 49, We
spent two days in the town of Odessa last
week and were surprised to see how much
the town has built ul'. Business seems brisk,
but the most we heard talked of on the streets
while there was politics; the main issue
seemed to center on who our next collector
was TO be. The first man we met who APP
preached Us on the subject, was Benjamin
Kile. He claimed that his man Harrison was
solid In and around Odessa. Tit next was
our old friend from Clay township,
Mahlon Hall; who said DIR. Chambers was
solid without Il doubt. During the two days
while there we were very particular In feel
ing the strength of the various candidates for
collector, and find it very much divided. Our
old friend Mountjoy will get Il good vote
there. His friends are not so excited as the
others are. While there we heard bets
freely offered that Mountjoy would be our
next collector, but no one had confidence
enough to put up on their man. Harrison's
and Chambers friends are doing the quar-
reling, and Mountjoy is getting the votes. He
is getting stronger every day. Some one is
going to be badly left on the 9th Of August.
But it will not be our man. Two to one is
being offered that Mountjoy is the winning
man on the ticket for collector. Judge
Rvland has done as much for the democratic
party of Lafayette county rs any man in the
whole party. Judge Rylandi is a man worthy
of any office in the gift of the people,"
