He also thought there would be as
much difficulty in eQualizing the land
values as there is in eQualizing values
now, and that there would be the
same chances for partiality, that
might now be shown. He also thought
that one effect of the single tax might
be to increase the burden of the
farmer, while the speculator would
escape. Other objections were also
touched upon which we have not time
to refer to.
The question was quite generally
discussed and a general desire shown
for a wider range of information upon
the subject. The general opinion
seemed to be that our present system
of taxation is far from perfect and
that any new scheme or theory should
not be condemned until it had been
carefully considered and its good and
bad points noted.

DEATH OF MISS KARr1ANY.

The fact that the old must die and
the young may die was again brought
before us Mondaymorning when it be-
came known that Miss Katie Karma-
ny, eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Karmany, had died at six
o'clock, after an illness Of twenty-one
days with typhoid fever. She was II
years of age and has resided here all
her life, and was universally loved by
those who knew her best. She spent
two months visiting relatives in st
Paul and Minneapolis this summer
and while there her cousin, Miss Hat
tie Karmany, was ill with typhoid
fever, and it is believed she contracted
the fatal malady while there, although
she apparently gained in health and
strength while absent. She COM
menced a course of study at the bust
ness college this fall, but had only
attended one week when the dreaded
disease made her it's victim.
Katie nKarmany was womanly
young lady and will be greatly missed
by her large circle of friends who will
be panied to hear of her untimely
death She was devoted member f
the Presbyterian church and actively
connected with the young peoples
auXiliaries of that church. She lea yes
besides her parents, two brothers and
two sisters to mourn the loss of an
affectionate daughter and sister.

Government Crop Report.

The substance of the last government
crop report is as follows: The wheat
crop is slightly above an average in
yield, and in volume has only been ex-
ceeded in 1881, 1882 and 1884, though
the crops of 1889 and 1890 nearly
equaled it. The area, as estimated, is
3S ,554 ,430 acres, the product 515, 949, 900
bushels, and the value 1922 Ill, eS1.
The rate OF yield is 1874 bushels per
acre. The average value per bushel,
62. &c, is the lowest average value ever
reported, that of 1884 being Ga SC and
that of 1887 oslo. The average of
the crop of 1891 was $3.50. The weight
of measured bushels will be deter
mined later, but it is probable that the
aggregate above will be equivalent to
nearly 500,000,000 commercial bushels.
The corn crop is short. 1t was exceeded
in quantity seven times in the last ten
years, but is slightly larger than in
1888, 1887 and 1890. The average yield
per acre, % bushels, has been exceeded
six times in ten years. Its area is con-
siderably reduced, the reduction being
very heavy in the corn producing re-
gion, though offset in part by increase
in the Atlantic states and throughout
the entire cotton belt. The area, as
estimated, is 20 BOG ,656 acres, the pro-
duct is 1.62S, 464 900 bushels, and the
value is S642 Jag $50, averaging 80 &c
per bushel. The estimates for oats are:
Area, 27,206,65S acres, product, $751;
035 900 bushels; value, 5000, 1858, GIL;
yield per acre, "a 4 bushels.

The American StOnehenge.

Far up on these abandoned mountain farms,
Now drifting back to forest wilds again,
The long, gray walls extend their clas ping arms,
Pathetic monuments of vanished men.
Serpents In stone they wind DER hill and dell
Mid orchards long deserted, field, unshorn;
The crumbling fragments resting where they fell,
Forgetting, worthless to a race new born.
Nearer than stones of storied Saxon name
These speechess relics to our hearts should com
No toler for priests or monarch's fame.
This farmer lived and died to shape a home.
What days of lonely toll he undertook
What years of iron labor; and for what2
To yield the chipmunk one more secret nook.
The gliding snake one more seqIestered spot
SO little time on earth; so much to do;
Yet all that waste of weary toll worn hands,
Life came and went; the patient task is through;
The men are gone; the idle structure stands.

it has only been in use about twenty
five years, and no one knows how long
it will last; but as none of the roofs
needs repairs as yet, and looks as well
as ever, l rather think that, with a

MYTH appctites sharp as the swords
wv OF SPAN,
w And pie-crust as long as the coast
of Maine,
No wonder you're seized with an inward
pain,
And made cross and grabbed.
But when you do shorten the pastry with
lard,
You render digestion remarkably hard:
We beg of the cooks of the land to discard
This dangerous habit.
1t ruins digestion. The experts insist it
Should never be used in pie-crust or
biscuit
And never in cooking at all should you
risk it.
But people must,
1t seems,
Have crust
To make pie;
And think it hard to Danish lard
With which to fry.
Now "CoTToLENE" is pure and clean,
And will supply
The place of lard in this regard.
Suppose you try
Croquettes, and see
How delicate and crisp they'll be.
Physicians, chemists, cooks, all say,
BY using "CoTToLENE" you may
Prepare your food in such way,
That children and dyspeptics too
Can eat what other people do.
Its color is quite golden looking,
No odor rises from its cooking;
1t will at once enlist your favor,
When you have tried its matchess aavos
Your health and wealth you will enhance
BY giving "CoTToLENE" q chance.

ENGLISH horsemen have been very
slow to recognize the worth of Indian
corn as feed, or part ration, for horses;
but they are at last realizing from prac-
teal experience its great value. In a
a recent issue of the London Live Stock
Journal it is stated that the use of
maize as food for warehouses in lead
ing British cities is constantly increas-
ing as the merit of this grain, which is
cheaper than other feeds, becomes bet
ter known.
