EXPERIMENTS will be made in
Rock county next season with new
variety of tobacco, which, if sue
cessful, will be introduced in this
section by many growers, in place
of the Spanish leaf now generally
raised The seed was obtained from
the island of Jamaica, and it is
thought that it will be adapted to
our soil and climate. The plant is
thrifty growing, and produces a
wrapper leaf Of superior quality
and firmness.-JdReSUiHe Recorder.
AMONG several of our citizens the
opinion seems to exist that it would
be sensible investment if the city
were to buy up the old building
on the corner of High and Chestnut
streets, petition for the removal of
which is now before the council.
Why would not that be good plan
providing that it could be secured
reasonable figure? Once in the
city's possession she could then more
easily comply with the desirses of
adjoining property owners, and ought
not to lose anything in the long run.
A large hunting party-one not
after Office, but game, gore and
glory-left this city Tuesday for the
vicinity of Paul Mobiles, and upon
getting there Paul joined them, you
bet. They were well equipped with
arms, ammunition, yictuals, vinegar,
etc, etc. Expert cooks were among
the number, and as the game was
slaughtered feasting followed. 1t
was all day and one of the greatest
days in the experience of each at
tending. Noble is declared the ex-
pert of the age for skinning game
Upon their return a squirrel tail
adorned each hat.
TIE OLDEST POSTMASTER. r IIav
ing seen some Of our exchanges
claiming that they have unearthed
the postmaster holding Office contin
ually for the greatest number of
years in this state, we now come to
the front with ours. Celestin Kal-
tenbach, of BOtosi, received his first
commission from Amos Kendall,
posWaster-general under President
anBuren, in August, 1888, making
his term up to date forty-seyen years.
No stronger proof of a mans integ-
rity and business ability can be
given than such long continuance
in Office under changing times and
administrations and since Mr. Kal-
tenbach cannot be removed under
the plea of "offensive partisanship'
his chance of completing half
century term of office is most excel
lent. For the present, we claim the
veteran postmaster-Gro1,t County
Herald.
THE old reliable establishment of
Guudry, Gray e Co keeps to the
front on substantial winter goods.
Ladies you must not fail to inspect
the fine display of cloaks, etc, to be
found there.
A PARTY calling himself Sam
Jones lectured to our citizens three
nights, commencing last Saturday,
and created a furore never before
known in Richland Center He
commenced operations by mounting
a dry goods box in TIE street Friday
afternoon, and preached an eloquent
extemporareous sermon from a text
given by one of the by-standers.
The impression among the people
was that he was Sam Jones the
southern reyiyalist, and while he
claims to be "Sam Jones" when
questioned he does not say he is the
Sam Jones the people took him for.
His lectures were very interesting,
and it don't cut much figure what
his name is. lie has fund Of
knowledge which he has gathered
in all parts Of the world, and he can
tell it in an entertaining manner.
lie knows the bible "by heart" from
