unusual energy. Tho result is apparent,
and on many folds, the effect IF the
floods are almost oblitcratcd. Some
grain Is being harvested and the output
is rather encouraging. Eall sown oats
arc better than was expected, and those
sown in Ii Spring promise to bc very
superior in both quantity and quality.

better times ahead of us.

Much damage has been done by tho
recent heavy rains in this section by
sweeping away bridges, washing lands,
&C., but the small-grain crop, which is
greatly needed now, has been consider
ably improved. Never havc we seen
oats grow more rapidly than they have
since the rain. Ifthc gain in this direc-
ton does not equal the loss i'm tho other,
it will he a great help, since it will como
in just ut Il tiuo when stock food il

We had an interesting and lively dis

preparation, rotation of crops and the
application of home made manure vas
the best plan. Several ladies attended
the meeting, whose presence are not

Sun-dogs and fragments of pris-

No dew in the morning is mostly
followed by rain, and IL heavy dew
in the evening by a fine day.
y halo around the moon, cspc-
cially If some distance from it, is a
sure indication Of downfall at hand.

Right about, Facet

This is undoubtedly the order recent
" issued from the headquarters of the
great Boss in regard to railroad lcgisla-
ton. Two weeks ago the three news
papers owned and controlled by Gov.
Smith simultaneously announced their
approval of railroad supervision in
some form, and now the governors lieu
tenants, one after another, are rising
to express their innocent surprise that
any one should suppose for moment
that Gov. Smith would try to defeat
such useful legislation.
Both DO Hatch and Chef Writer'S
the governors most Trusted strikers
within few days have said to various
parties, with suspicious identity of lam
guagc, us we are credibly Informed,
that Railroad Commission is just
what the railroads want, and they We're
surprised to learn that any opposition
was anticipated. Innocent creatures!
They give the people credit for very
short memories when they say these
things in the face of the fierce and sue
ccssful fight they made against Dr..
IIolton's Commission Bill two years u
90, under the leadership of GOV. Smith
himself, backed up by all followers of
the ring and all members of the Free
Pass Brigade. The fact is they have
seen the hand writing on the wall.
They have discovered that the people
are in dead earnest, and that their will
cannot longer be resisted. Hence this
new dodge, full of cunning and deceit.
Since they cannot prevent the crea-
ton of a commission, they experience a
conversion almost miraculous i'll its sud
dcnness, and endcavor to assume the
lead in support of a commission, hop
ing thus to accomplish three things:
/. TO cmasculate the bill and de-
prive it of all vigor and capacity to ac-
complish what the people want done.
2. 70 disarm suspicion, and, by q
cunning flank movement, to secure the
election of a governor who will appoint
Just such commissioners as Gov. Smith
names.
3. To secure a Senate that will con-
firm these commissioners, so nominated
In short, it is one of Gov. Smiths
underground crafty schemes to snatch
victory out of defeat.
