yDARD: JACKSON, OHIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER g.

Wash. Armstrong, of Scioto Township.
died very suddenly on last Friday. He
was watching friend feeding thresh-
ing-machine, and asked the privilege OF
feeding for a little while. He began
feeding, and was noticed to reel, as If
about to fall. Friends ran and caught
him, and in few minutes he was dead.
He leaves a wife and eight children.
Since Mr.. Armstrong; death, q some
what remarkable incident is recalled,
which may be considered as indicating
that he had some premonition OF sudden
death. A night or two before his death,
as he was winding the clock, just after
family prayers, he remarked to his wife:
81 believe I'll turn this job over to you,
pretty soonw Armstrong was converted
some months ago, and was believed to be
an earnest, enthusiastic Christian.
We shall, as soon as we can get time,
make some notes of the improvements
that have been and are going on in Jack
son. These improvements are of a sub
stantial, permanent character, and all
paid for The town is rapidly building
up, and in safe manner. There are no
people in the State who deserve success
more thoroughly than the Jackson people,
and no people anywhere extend more
whole-souled, hearty, courteous treatment
to all comers. The good qualities of the
Jackson people are proverbial. They
wish everybody success, that is why they
themselves succeed. For educational adj
vantages, and musical culture, Jackson
will not acknowledge a superior in any
town in the State. Show us a man who
does not love Jackson, and we will show
you man who does not know our people.
The Nellie Free Dramatic Company
was greeted by a large audience at the
Crescent Opera House on Monday night,
on its first appearance in this place. The
Company is an exceptionally strong one,
and the play, "Fogg's Ferry" was deliv-
cred in splendid style. Miss Nellie Free, |
as "Chip," was particularly charming, and |
as a song and dance artistic she is hard to |
beat The Company is under the efficient |
of Mr.. Nelson CompstOn,
and is composed of only first-class actors.

The absence of Col. J. J. Appler from
the reunions of his old Regiment recalls
the early experience of the Regiment
here. We recollect one day, when the
Regiment was moving along at Camp
Diamond, with Appler at the head of the
column, number of citizens were ad-
miring the determined bearing of the
man. One enthusiastic citizen remarked:
"Ah, I tell you he's l5o1a" That was
about the last time that was ever said.

This number OF THE LAND AND LA
BoR Spy presents picture of the Ag-
ricultural College as it will appear when
completed. 1t fronts the west, is OF
modern gothic architecture, and will be
completed as soon as demanded,
The college was located at Brookings

the building was completed in Septem-
Der, 1884. 4 fine dormitory, similar III

and equipped on the college campus
during the past summer.
The size of the college building is to
be one hundred feet wide and two hun
dred and seventy feet long and four

thoroughly educated and practical
farmers. Thus it will be seen that a
knowledge Of the studies which under
lie scientific agriculture are required.
While the college farm is being subdued
and brought into high state Of culti-
vation, thoso who present themselves
as candidates to pursue the agricultural
course of study and are not prepared to
enter the technical course at once, are
required to obtain at the college, a
thorough knowledge Of the sciences, in
Guiding good English and business
education, which underlie an enlight-
ened agriculture.
Active experiments in forestry and
landscape gardening will be commenced
on the campus in the early spring.
An educated agriculture will teach
man to love the earth which gives tire
daily food and feeds all living things |;
which moves all industrial life and
makes the daily toll secure the daily
bread, the home and the raiment; which
causes manufactures to start busy work
shops, and trade to build its marts of
traffic; which creates the commerce,
which sends ships and steam propellers
into every sea; which yields bounteous
harvests Of crops, herds and iiocks for
the use Of mankind; which adorns her
self with flowers, vines and forests, and
spreads out her beautiful scenery of

the right in cut is now erected and will
afford ample accommodations for the
present year. The rooms are pleasant
ly situated and commodious.
The college has been in operation but
one year, and it's attendance has in
creased from sixty-One to two hundred
and twenty students, and its facilities
have been expanded until itnow has a
farm, laboratory, museum and all the
modern appliances; full corps of well
trained professors and instructors, and
furnishes thorough instruction in the
several departments which are divided
between the courses of agriculture;

paratory; commercial and practical bus
mess: music and painting.
The farm las beer purchased and
partly equipped. An effort is being

and seas to please the enraptured eye
and turn the aioring heart to its eter-
nal God as the giver Of this source OF
wealth. The danger of agriculture is
not too Wuch but too little education.
Toomuch stress cannot be placed on
the value of an agricultural education,
for al enlightened agriculture is the
basis OF all national wealth.
The other courses furnish every IA
cility for the prosecution OF scientific
studies. The college, through its ply
sical and chemical laboratory, its muse
um and collections in the several de-
partments, is able TO furnish field of
work, broad and thorough enough TO

German, French or Greek, logic, math-
ematics, ethics, psychology, metaphys-
les, English literature, constitutional
history, political economy and natural

yides for future usefulness and the du-
ties of life by giving young ladies thor

The Land and Labor Spy.
The yield Of wheat in Dakota for 1884
was 1896, ,4l3 bushels. The yield for
1875 is estimated at 10000, 600 bushels.
When the Dakota farmer gets 20 cents

at twenty-nine bushels per acre and
average quality at hinety points.
The average yield of potatoes for 1885
is estimated at seventy-five bushels to
the acre, and the quality at ninety-two
points.
Hay is estimated at an average yield
OF l.30 tons per acre.
Flax yields from ten to fifteen bushels
per acre on new breaking. which at the
lowest prices paid in Dakota will pay
for breaking, seeding, harvesting aud
threshing and leave a margin large
enough to pay for the land at five dol
lars per acre, and have some left for
further improvements.
