Kecne Beazley, a well-known colored
laborer, in this place, cut on S. II. Ander-
sons farm, on Tuesday, twenty-five
shocks Of corn, in a field that would aver
age twelve barrels to the acre. This was
a good days work, and it takes an expert
to equal it. The current price for cutting
this season has been from Sc. to lOc. per
shOck.-Ldacdster Record
The Times takes occasion again to ask
why an establishment for the canning Of
corn, tomatoes, beans, &c, would not
prove profitable in Georgetown. They
are grown here in abundance, could be
grown more extensively, and shipping
facilities are good. Besides the demand
for goods Of this kind is increasing all the
time,-GcOrgetOUp Times.
Strength Of the F. and NJ. Union in a
few mountain counties: Magoffin has
500 members, Wolfe 200, Morgan 1000,
johnson ! 200, Neneiee 500, Owsley GOO
These are estimates we get from @. S
Miller and are only approximate. There
is a quiet growth going on all through
Eastern Kentucky, we learn. The prob
lem which the Union is trying to solve is
a difficult one and one Of vast importance.

There has been some misunderstanding
as to the positions Farmers Alliance
Democrats occupy in the Democratic par
ty. 1t has come to our knowledge that
some members Of the Republican party
are interesting themselves in no small de
gree in quietly spreading the impression
that members of the Alliance have cut
themselves loose from the Democratic
ranks, and that the leaders of the party
consider them outside Of its pale. We
desire to correct this false impression.
There is not a word Of truth in it.-ML

exander for four years past, and each sue
cessive bunch has eclipsed the other.

Smut in wheat calls forth an able paper
by Joseph H. Arthur, D. Sc, and it has
been sent out in pamphlet form by the
Kentucky agricultural Experiment Sta
ton. He says clean wheat on clean
ground produces a clean crop. The seed
must be free from smut, when sown, and
If it is not it should be soaked over night
in a solution Of blustone, which he SAYS,
is the best OF all known fungicides. Then
no manure made Of straw that had rust
must be allowed in the field. Your wheat
crop will then be free from smut. Care
should be taken to cover the sown wheat
thoroughly so that smut spores from
neighboring fields cannot lodge on it.
If the Wheelers of Kentucky have
done nothing else, they have at Leaf ac-
complished good in one way. BY their
meetings and associations they have got
ten up spirit OF inquiry and desire for
information. Laboring men, Just as well
as any others ought to be well informed
on all subjects. They should study the
science Of government and be able to IN
derstand its workings. The country will
be safe only 50 long as the great masses
take an interest in national affairs. Every
man ought to be politician in the sense
that he should be able to vote intelligent
ly upon every subject presented for his
consideration. This move is great edu-
cational factor and one that viii no doubt
in the end benefit the whole people
