In company with the Isecretary 1 took
q drive four miles south TO a gypsum
bed cropping out the side of hill. The
vein Is seven feet thick and of good
quality. The inhabitants use it to
plaster their houses, and have seen
good work done from this material. A
large spring gushes forth a stream of
water as large as mans thigh from the
base of the hill containing the gypsum,
runs throughout the year, cold enough
to cause ones fingers to ache if left in
the water for few moments. Another
spring is found short distance to the
right of this but with less volume.
Monday Col. Fosters mammoth men
menagerie and circus entertained the

every one knows that circuses visit only

hotel and restaurants combined was
barely sufficient to meet the demands of
the throng which accompanies such
events.
We are not beyond the rain belt, as
farmers and citizens will attest who hap
pened to be caught in the rain of Satur-

PuIex irritans seems to be q natural
product of the soil, causing wakefulness
and wishing one had the eyes of an owl |
that the pests might be caught.
