THD CROPS.

THD CROPS.
Since cur report of week before last,
the crop prospect has improved. We
have interviewed farmers from all parts
OF the county, and there is but one re-
port, viz: that the outlook ''never was
better.' Some think that all crops
promise better than last year.
ard promise, and the rumors about
FLAX dying out' originated in a few
pieces in nearly every neighborhood
where the land had been exhausted by
former flax crops or had become too
foul. Oats is said to be ''toe heavy"
in fact, that is, in danger of lodging
from the winds. Wheat is in fine
shape, headed out. and giving good
promise. Corn a little backward, but
promising a good crop if not caught by
early frosts.
AS to the grass crop it is superb.
Cleaner Of weeds, we are told, than
last year, and in splendid condition.
Hundreds of tons are being cut now
every day.
The fact is, we have now ripening
and now harvesting by all odds the
best crop ever known in Mobiles coun-
ty, and if no very serious drawback de
velops, our farmers will have another
big "boost." Last year they were lifted
up on the shoulders of Il good crop and
set down far in advance. This year
the "boost' and lift" promises to be
higher and farther ahead.
\ gentleman from Illinois SAID to US
that our county would advance more
in the next five years than in all the
past. lie spoke from what he knew of
the efforts of large real estate men to
send settlers to our lands. We have
found that AL depends on the crops,
and it the present promise is fulfilled,
this gent'eman's prediction will also
be fulfilled.

ROUND LAKE STATION.

.
On Tuesday last we helped Mrs. AD-
VANCE and the little ADVANCES into
4 buggy and drove through Indian
Lake township with Round Lake sta
ton as the objective point.
This station is about ten miles from
Worthington on the 3. G. II. & n.
railroad. and is in Indian Lake town
ship, Mobiles county, half mile from
the county line bstween this county
and Jackson.
A town has been laid out and some
of the lots sold. The streets running
east and west are named Main Street
and Rohrer Avenue. Those running
north and south are numbered merely
from 1st to 4th. The town plat lies
south of the railroad. A handsome
little depot, uniform with the b. c. r.
& n. stations, was built two years ago.
E. A. Tr,pp is the station agent. NJ.
J. Barber, of Marshall county, Iowa,
came w IN April last and opened out
with a stock of general merchandise,
which is quite convenience to the
farmers. The postof1ice is kept st Mr..
Barber's store, and he is the acting
pest master. Mr.. B. also sells lumber
A third house is occupied by section
men.
We had not much time for visiting
the farmers, but we looked in on X.
L. Erskine as We drove by. Found he
and his son recovering from the at
tacks Of that bull, (many fellow has
been laid out In Wall Street by the
bulls.) but not fully over it yet. We
saw his herd of GO cattle and learned
that he is milking now only about Is
cows and selling the cream to Ter
rance. Crops are generally in fine con.
ditien in Indian Lake. Some farms
reported damaged by wild mustard.
Stopped and took tea with Geo. Bull
lis. on the original Charley Bulls place.
This was one of the first farms we Wis
tied in Mobiles county. In 1872 we
mounted a pony and rode for the Sher-
iff, Mr.. Bulls then being sheriff Of the
county. The only ''houses" between
Worthingten and the farm were dug
out" on Ocbeeda and q deserted log
hut.
The farm now has one of the finest
groves in the county, and Mr.. Bulls is
quite encouraged with his crop pros
poets. He is milking six cows and
selling his butter to parties in Brain
erd at good figure. He showed US a
fine Holstein baby bull recently pur.
chased from which he expects great re.
suits when it gets to be ''man.''
Indian Lake is at the ''fore" owing
to her stock and grass. Her farmers
are ''out of the woods'' and into hay.

debts and will soon be rich.

should investigate spiritual and all
kindred phenomena from q purely

sole object of finding the truth. His
efforts have been rewarded. In Sep
tember last the American Society for
Psychical Research was organized in
Boston, and recently the Western So

the dissatisfaction does not emanate from

THE BARK LOUISE DOOMED.
A Gray BGg Annihilating the Maple
Tree Pest-.0bseryatiOns Of One
Who Has Been Watching
the Insect.

The bark louise, which for two years
has been welding devastation to the ma
pie tree, is doomed, it appears. A person
who has been watching the workings of
the insect, reports that little fat, gray
bug, that looks like thousand legged
worm in miniature, has appeared, and is
preying upon the maple tree pest. These
bugs lie athwart the cottony. sugary nest
of the louise, feast upon it, suck all its
substance out of it, and it dries up and
falls from the limb. One may see scores
of trees on the bluffs which have been rid
of the louise by these bugs. A resident
who has been at much pains in examining
into the cause of the disappearance of the
maple pest from trees on his grounds,
says that you would find these bugs in
places where large black ants abound,
and where the black ants are not the bugs
cannot be seen
Of course there are many trees on
which the louise appear to be thriving
still, but it will not be long until the gray
bug will be in the midst Of them to feast
upon and kill the shade tree destroyers.
A great number of maple shade trees
in the city have been killed BY the bark
louse-and in some places the thinning
out of the trees was a benefit, because
they stood in such thick rows; and this
summer the louise was progressing with
the destruction OF many more trees when
the black ants introduced the gray bug
opportunely-and the bug will save the
trees that are left May tue gray bug live
long and prosper-but like as not the
naples benefactor will fall victim to
some other bug that will take liking to
it before many weeks.

NEW REVENUE COLLECTORS.
Maurice Kelly Selected for the Rock
Island. and Andrew Welch for
the Aurora District.

The appointment of collectors for the
Aurora and Rock Island districts were
made late yesterday afternoon. Andrew
Welch was chosen for the former and
Maurice Kelly, of Quincy, for the latter.
Neither appointment was a surprise, as it
was generally known few days ago that
both gentlemen had been agreed upon.
Congressman Morrison and Riggs sup
ported Kelly. Mr.. Burton, of Macomb,
was the candidate of Congressman Neece.
Mr.. Welch's opponent for the Aurora
office was Hon E. l. Cronkrite, of Frees
port, who was endorsed by Congressman
Morrison, Neece, R ggs and Eden Mr..
Cronkrite's chances were bliyhted by the
lateness with " hich he entered the field.
Mr.. Welch was one of the earliest appli-
cants for appointment from Illinois, and he
was endorsed by pretty much everybody.
He had his local ifuences back Of him,
and many prominent Chicago democrats,
such as Postmaster Judd, Judge Trum
bull, and Mr.. Fuller were on his papers,
and his backing carried him through in
spite of the recent efforts made IN behalf
of Mr.. Cronkrite, who was handicapped
to some extent by the opposition of q
set of democrats in his own town,
who apparently have more indu-
euce abroad than at home,
