Kansas City Star: A Clay Center
widower made a second matrimonial
venture four weeks and half after the
death of his first wife. He is upwards
Of 70, and it is safe to say that the
woman that he married is not more than
Is years old.
Minneapolis Messenger: The Berry
Bros. have sold ten sections of their
land in the vicinity of Vine Creek for
$4,000. The purchasers are eastern
people who will open large stock ranch.
The land sold is partially under cultiva-
ton, having been rented to tenant
farmers by the Berry Brothers, who still
have considerable quantity of land left
in the same locality.
Smith Center Bulletin: The corn
crop is the most spotted in Smith county
this year it has ever been. There are
localities in the county where farmers
will have larger crop this year than
they have ever he'd since they have been
in Smith county, while in some neigebor-
hoods, and perhaps just across the road,
bis neighbor has no crop ct all. We
also find that in the same field one por-
ton will make from forty to fifty bushels
per acre, while the balance will not yield
a bushel to forty to fifty acres. It is
something that we have not heard q
satisfactory solution Of.
Sslina Republican: Cyrus D. Miller
committed suicide one mile east and one
mile north of Bavaria, the other night,
by shooting himself in the head. No
cause is known why TIE rash deed was
committed. He was coming from his
home in Greeley county to visit his
brother, and camped for the night only
a few miles from where his brother lives.
He wrapped himself in blanket, and
evidently made careful preparations.
The ball entered The forehead, and he
seems to have died without struggle.
He was 81 years old and has always
been good citizen.
Troy Chief: With an immense crop
OF wheat and oats, harvested and saved;
an unprecedented hay crop; corn crop
never surpassed, that is beyond the need
Of any more rain; an apple crop that is
too heavy for the trees, and q hog crop
that has escaped the ravages of cholera,
Doniphan county was never in better
shape. It is good place to live, not
outstanding there are some very wicked
people here, who ought to be very
thankful that they are so greatly blest,
while counties IN which good, pious
people manure the ground with goodness
and water it with holy sweat will not
raise enough to pay for even such cheap
fertilizers.
Wichita Eagle: There is citizen of
Great Britain, named Scully, who owns
immense bodies of lands in this state.
He owns large number of farms in
Marion county. Marion county suffered
