pleasant home of Capt A. W. Lee on Friday last

day of Mrs. Sarah Lee, wife of Capt Lee. About
eighty guests were present, many from a

recitations, both humorous and pathetic, and with
the social intercourse, caused the day to be pleas
antly spent. The very many friends of Mrs. Lee
wish for her many happy returns of the day.

The extremely dry weather has cut the corn
crop one-hah. The late potatoes will not make
much more than the seed. Feeding stock will
have to commence at very early period unless
the earth is soon refreshed by copiOuS showers
Despite the dry weather large amount of plOw-
ing has been done, and the average wheat crop
will be seeded.

The agricultural papers state that wheat fed to

Our grangerS will use large amount of fertil-

wheat, they will try to increase the yield.
If the Harvest Home Picnic at Stewards grove
fails to bring the longneeded rain there will be no

What a Bad Digestion Does,

All life looks black to a miserable
man with stomach in which his food
lies like lead. Woe to his companions if
they expect good fellowship from him!
Woe to his wife unless she has the wom-
anly intuition that will make her humor
him as though he were a cross babyl
Man delights him not, nor woman either;
nor is he best pleased with himself,
though he jealousy demands homage
from others.-New York Ledger.

Velocity of the Earth.

The highest velocity attained by can
non ball has been estimated at 1922 feet
per second, which is equal to a mile in
BE- seconds. The velocity of the earth
at the equator, due to its rotation on its
axis, is 1000 miles per second, or mile
every 3.6 seconds. Therefore it has been
calculated that if a cannon. ball were
fired due west, and that it could main
tain its initial velocity for "a hours, it
would barely beat the sun in its ap-
parent journey around the earth.-Phila-

That the primitive man was black
man is the view held by Bishop Turner
as stated in the African Congress at
Chicago. He believes that portions of
the human race have gone through
bleaching process by which they have
changed from their original color, and
claims that geology and ethnology sup
port his proposition. Whether his ideas
are correct or not it is certain that not
all white men are white.

In many cities the unemployed are
daily holding large meetings to discuss
the prevailing depression and devise
means to live until work can be secured
At some demonstrations wildeyed anar-
chists rant and rave, but to the credit of the
American born workingmen and many
foreigners as well, in most cases the
speeches are discreet and only express
their opinions as to the cause of the
financial disorders, with exhortations
to their brethren to be careful that no
outrages on property be committed in
these trying times, The sentiment is
usually healthy, and cannot fail to do
good in the end, bringing both employer
and employe into feeling of mutual
interest.
