the distinction Of being regarded as Gig

a complete vegetarian. His mother in his
early youth did not weep sweet, praverful
words over his bedside as che taught him TO
say: Now lay me-" On the contrary
she spanked him soundly, and told him as
she threw the photograph In tights and the
ticket for q gold watch out OF the window
that if she caught him with any more of
those blamed coffin nails about him she
would "warm him good" But her pious
warnings were Ineffective. Augustus just
said he was gong TO visit his aunt in Grand

Mr.. Lawton was born in Newport,

In 1865 he was discharged from the

While Mr.. o. A. Chi.son's family were
IN Washington during the winter of 1890
.92, Mrs. ABBY was taking care of his
residence for the privilege of using part
of it. Miss Louisa Johnson was working
for Mrs. ABBY during this time and was
taken sick in Dec, 1890. In January,
Mr.. Chilson who was boarding with Mrs.
ABBY, went before the board of county
commissioners with a bill for room rem
and fuel, which the board refused to
allow. Mr.. Chilson then proposed that
if the Board would call the doctor and
see if the girl was fit to be moved, and
if so, take charge of her, he would with
draw his bill, which the board did, plac-
ing Miss Johnson in charge of Mrs. Cis.

are made to show hat the rumor float

driven the girl out of doors, is not true

The experience our farmers are hay
ing in securing their magnificent har-
vest this fall, together with the low
price of grain, is discouraging thing for
them. and is another illustration of the
futllity Of depending wholly upon grain
raising for a living. 1t is plain TO all
that this country never can be 3 success
until there is a diversity Of farming in
~terests. such as can be had under our
climatic conditions, and these are stock
and sheep growing, cheese and butter
productions. and possibly small fruit
growing, if conducted by a system of
surface irrigation by means of wind mills
and plenty of shallow wells! 1t is a sui
cidal policy for the country to longer
rely solely on n n crop, and that
wheat.-Boudel Pioneer.

Tn is has been a calm, month.

Tn is has been a calm, month.
Temperature ranged from 95' on thu
10th down to So on the 30th.
The average temperature for the
month was TO- which was about normal
There were 4:47 inches waterfall, dis.
tributed through IL days and amounting
to sol hours.
This month, like June and July gave
us frightfui thunder storms, and the
County in consequence, has suffered
thousands Of dollars loss, in the form Of
houses, barns, haystacks, cattle and
horses as well as machinery.
Aurora Borealis was observed on seven
nights; they were generally very bril-.
liant and beautiful.
One third of the mo nth was so calm
that smoke asceDced straight up to hea-
ven.
Preyilipg winds have been from the
south.
Half of the month was hazy.
Thig has been the best August in ten
years.
No frost; no drouth; vegetation is
green and lovely now on the 9Th day of
September.
Vegetation is mostly out of the way of
frost with the exception that the longer
it holds off the more prolific will be the
yield of pumpkins, %citrons, cucumbers,
etc.
We believe we have reaped a bounti-
full harvest; farmers stacking; a few
threshing.
