than to advance 10 cents a bUshel {
the farmers who had corn whicl
they must sell unless assisted to hol,
1t. Corn at that time was worth |
cents: 1t is now worth 23 cents. Tw
thousand dollars would have hel,
70, 900 bushels of corn, the owners q
which would have cleared 81 800 h,

investment of g, 900 would have nette,
those for whom it was invested 81 80

The frost on Thursday night was ,
nger,-the heaviest we have had =,
late in May for many years. But from
all we can learn by careful inquiry, i
seems not to have done 40 mucl
damage as there was Mt first reason Il
fear. Grapes were hurt badly il
places where they were not protected
and strawberries and raspberries wer,
probably cut some. But with thes,
exceptions the fruit does not seem Il
have been injured. Beans and Other
delicate garden vegetables were killed
and great deal of corn was cut to tht
ground. 1t was close shave and we
may be glad it was no worse.

1t is being reported, q little too often
and little too definitely to be secuted
as mere suspicion, that there are two
places in lola where whiskey is sold
by the bottle to every customer who
has the money and the right variety
of wink. We trust these reports will
be sufficient to put the officers on their
guard to the end that the transgress-
Ors of the law may be speedily
brought to justice. lola has most
reputation as a temperance
town and it should be jealously guard
ed.
bronson Pilot: In the case of Albert
Carter, who was tried last Friday, at
Fort Scott, for criminal carelessness, it
was shown by the evidence that the
shooting was accidental, and a verdict
Of not guilty was rendered by the Jury
without leaving the box. The shoot
ing was done about year ago, at the
Fair View school house, four miles
south east of town. Carter was ex-
revolver when it was dis
charged, shooting young Harris
through the lung.
