The win of Judge Davis.

There Is paragraph going the rounds OF
the press to the effect that the late David
Davis merely willed $500 to his second
wife, who was formerly Miss Addie Burr OF
North Carolina and member of the family
OF Representative Green Of that State. AS
a matter Of fact, within q few days after
the wedding ceremony, which occurred at
Mr. Green's country seat, Mr. Davis made
arrangements by which his bride should re-
ceive an annuity Of $1,000 in the event OF
his death, and the money was invested in
Government bonds 10 carry out this idea.
The witnesses to the will OF the dead
jurist, which has been sent here for
probate, are all residents of this
city, their names being Judge Otto,
reporter Of the Supreme Court ofthe United
States; Robert Beall the Avenue stationer,
and Mr.. Frank Orme. These gentlemen
were all told by Mr. Davis of the provision
that he had made for his wife, and the under
standing was that the arrangement was per-
fectly satisfactory to Mrs. Davis, who ac-
cep,ed 1t in lieu Of her widows dowry of
one.thrd which abe would be legally en-
titled to ifDo will existed. This statement
was furnished by the witnesses to the Will,
who thought that there should be refuta-
tlon OF the implied idea that Judge Davis
had ill.proyided for his second wife,

els, three thirty bushels, two forty
bushels and one sixty bushels. In
seventeen counties oil Iowa one re-
| ports ten bushels, three fifteen bu,h
