c. W. Price, who lives on E. B.
Coleman's farm, brought his last
load of watermelons for this season
to town Tuesday for the teachers
feast. He told us that his watermelon
patch consisted of IT'S hills from
which he had sold S45 worth of
melons. This, we think, is pretty
good for a dry year.

1t has been reported over about
Salisbury that C. C. Colt and 81. A..
Adams. two deputy U. s., marshals,
were run out of town" during tho
late railroad strike. at Marshall,
Saline county. Mr.. Adams formerly
lived near Shannondale, this county,
and is not of the running kind.
Besides, we are reliably informed
that he was not at Marshall during
the strike, but was staying in United
States Marshal 10 Shelby's Office at
that time.

Bountiful Crops in Indiana.

Franklin, Ind. Democrat, July %, 1894.
This year will be memorable fol
its great harvests. The yield o.
wheat in Indiana will probably ex-
ceed that of any former year. Just
at this time it is especially inviting
for one to drive into the country
and visit some of the threshers at
work.
We had the pleasure, one day this
week, OF witnessing five machines in
operation. The first was John Bak-
er's outfit on the farm of Cornelius
Ditmars, whose crop of fifty-fve
acres averaged 81 bushels per acre.
this being no exceptional yield in
the county this year. Improve
ments in farm machinery have been
varied and rapid, but none more
forciblbly impress one than
the scene here witnessed. There
were no men on the straw stack and
yet there had arisen a rounded
stack OF straw, more perfect in out
line than could be made by hand.
Ten teams were kept busy bringing
wheat to the machine and the
Farmers Friend stacker" was
stacking the straw. We were told
by Mr.. Baker that the stacker was
doing its &ork perfectly and en-
abled him not only to do more work
in one day than by the old method,
but gave better satisfaction to far
mers. This statement was corbora-
ted by every one with whom we
conversed.
Passing on one mile further, we
came across George Bante's outfit. |
This Is bis fourth season and with |
each recurring year he finds the
stacker more popular. Here If has |
been fully tested and the points of
superiority demonstrated NAV be
briefly summarized as follows:
More work can be accomplished in
one day; fewer settings of the ma
chine are required; straw is stacked
more evenly than by hand and
turns water better; fewer hands are
required and the labor diminished
not only for the farmer but bis wife
as well; chaff and dust ara entirely
removed by the blower; the expense
OF threshing has been greatly dimin-
ished.
One man had been offered two
cents per bushel less for threshing
by the old method, but refused say
ing he preferred a Farmers Friend
even at two cents a bushels more
for threshing.
The stacker, we are glad to know.
is the product of q Hoosier brain,
the patentee being James Buchan,
of Indianapolis. where it is manufac-
tured by the Indiana Manufacturing
Allthe leading separator
now use it. The
stacker is aptly named "The Far
mer's Friend" 1t is without ques-
ton q wonderful invention and we
speak of it because OF it's practical
value and worth.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
Central Office, Columbia, no.


The week ending Saturday, Aug.
11th., another week OF sunshine,
high temperature and continued
drouth is now anything but encour-
aging to the farmer. In the south
ern sections, the excess in tempefa-
ture was.slight but in the nfral
and northern portions the mean
for the week was from 4 to 6
degrees above the normal The
week opened cool but the tempera-
ture rose steadily and during the
last three days temperatures rapg-
ing from 100 to los degrees
occurred at large number of sta:
tions. Local showers on the 10th.
and 11th afforded q temporary
relief in q few scattered localities,
the heaviest rains being reported
in Boone, Lincoln, Montgomery and
Warren counties. but over the great
er portion of the state the drouthI
continued practically unbroken. The
conditions on tine 18th, were, how
ever, favorable for local showers.
In the central and northern sec
tions. a large percentage OF the corn
crop is beyond recovery nnd much
OF it is being cut for fodder. In por-
lions OF Lafayette, Platte, st Charles
Usage and Miller counties and on
bottom lands in Pike and Moniteau
counties, it is still in fairly good
condition. In the southwest section
the condition of the crop has
declined considerably during the
week, and in portions of Johnson,
Barton, Mcdonald, Dade, Wright
and Greene counties it has been
greatly injured. In a few counties
it is doing we'll and early corn is
made, but unless it has rain very
soon, much OF the late planted will
be light crop. In the southeast
section, corn is doing fairly well
in st Louis and portions OF Howell.
Perry and Ripley counties, and with
early rains there win be an. Average
crop in portions OF Jeiiefson county.
In most counties, however, it is
drying up rapidly.
The second crop OF clover is re-
ported good in Perry. st Louis and
portions of Barry and Moniteau
In few localities there is sufficient |
grass for stock but feeding is becom-
ing general in the central and
and northern counties. In many
places the water supply lie at the
lowest stage known for years.
Cotton in New Madrid county has
been damaged to SONS extent by
the drouth.
Grapes are ripening and in some
are badly dried up. Apples
have fallen of badly in some sections
and a few correspondents report
that winter apples are ripening
prematurely.
Flowing for wheat Is progressing
n some counties but in most sec
lions the ground is too dry and
hard.

After the Ball-GAme.

A game of base ball was played, at
Shannondale. last Friday afternoon
between the Shannondale and Arm.
strong teams resulting in a victory
for Armstrong by a score OF Is to
16.
~he battery work fer Armstrong
was done by MARYLAND Bros. and
for Shannondaie by Lum Wright
and Frank Horton.
The game, on the whole, was a
decidedly rocky" one. beng noted
for it's numerous errors and unusual
ly heavy batting.
Alter the game had ended, A. p.
MARYLAND, OF Armstrong. and Jack
Edwards, OF Keytesville. became in
volved in an alteration growing
out VI controversy over pros
pective ball game between Keytes-
vile and Armstrong.
During tais heated colloquy, it is
alleged that MARYLAND called Ed
wards vile name, and that Ed
wards went to Dodson & McEuen's
drug store for the purpose OF getting
his pistol from "Bill'' White, another
keytesville boy, who had induced
Edwards to give him his artillery
short time before.
White, however, did not give Ed
wards the pistol. but returned with
him to Mrs. McCune's where Mark
land was. As Edwards entered the
yard at Mrs. McCune's, Markland. il
is said, rushed out OF the house and
knocked Edwards down two or three
times. White interfered in Edwards
behalf and struck MARYLAND. Two
or three others took a hand in the
mill, and for time the fight prom
ised to be a free-for-all affair.
The belligerents were finally separ-
ated and peace restored. but another
round followed shortly afterwards
when Edwards and White returned
to Mrs. AcCune'e. In the second
round Markland attempted to
throw glass at'white when White
drew his revolver and snapped it at
MARYLAND. The weapon failed to go
of and White threw it away. Mark
land in the mean time secured a pis-
tol for the purpose, it is supposed, OF
using it on White. but was dis
armed by by-standers.
About this time Deputy Sheriff X.
II. Ford, who lives at Shannondale,
made his appearance and, assisted
by Squire Henry Hayes and Others,
placed Markland, White and Ed
wards under arrest.
All three OF them were placed under
a bond OF 5000, each, for their ap-
pearance before Squire Hayes, at
for trial last Monday.
When the day for trial arrived
complaints were only made against
and White. the former be-
ing charged with exhibiting a dan
gerous or deadly weapons in a rude,
angry and threatening manner in
the presence OF one or more persons,
and the latter with a similar charge
together with the additional offense
,f carrying concealed weapons.
Marklsnd was tried by the court
md fined $50 and costs, which he
paid, but White took a change OF
venue to Squire DeMoss' court, at
where he will be tried on
Friday, Aug. Gath.

NOTES.
At the literary given by the teach
ers, at the courthouse, last Friday,
the exercises attracted considerable
attention and were of q very inter-
esting character.
J.C. Crawley made a talk on gen.
eral topics.
Prof. Dimes read a paper on "In.
centives to Study"
We think the exercises have con-
tinued to grow in interest from day
to day.
Prof. ID. K. Thomas, OF Brunswick,
sketched the life OF Tyndall, the En-
glish philosopher.
Considering his environments we
thought Mr.. Holman's effort was
very creditable indeed.
Prof. Il. p. Robbins gave a bio
graphical sketch of Victor Hugo.
We had the pleasure Wednesday
morning OF hearing portion of the
opening exercises-the rendering
Of Poe's Raven by Prof. A. l..
Holman, and a vocal solo by Miss
Grace Edwards. The circuit court
room is detective in acoustic prop
critics as everyone knows who has
tried tosalk, sing or listen in it.
Prof. Lilly, teacher in one OF the
schools OF Moberly, and school COM
missioner OF Randolph county, as
sisted very much in making the in
stitute interesting and profitable by
becoming one of the instructors dur
the last two weeks. We are sure he
will be remembered by every member
OF his several classes as a competent
and painstaking instructor.
Miss Grace Edwards. though an
amateur in vocal solos, did we'll as
was shown by the hearty cheers
given. We have been around some
little in our time, and our notion for
some time has been that Keytesville
has as much musical talent as any
town of it's size in this or any other
state. Now and then in some indi-
vidual cases that talent has been
only partially developed. This is
said to our discredit rather than to
our credit.
The music for the occasion was
furnished by Misses Bean, Harlan,
Moore and Grinstead, which was
highly appreciated by the large au.
lience. Perhaps, the most enjoyable
so far, connected with the
was the watermelon least,
donated by the courthouse officials
Ind some of the citizens of Keytes-
'ille. The luscious melons had been
Itored away in Miley Holcomb's ice
house to be kept cool, and were cart
d up to the courthouse yard by the
hundreds and were then turned over
o Prof. Dimes and several other ex-
,ert carvers. When the last named
gentlemen had completed their work
he teachers were released from study
or the day. The invitation to par
axe of the feast was extended to
and his cousin, and so
ar as we observed all did the occa-
ion ample justice.

tanned much valuable information regard
ing this building that has never been pub

sixty. four feet four inches, with an extreme
depth of seventy-seven feet ten inches The
basement will be nine feet in height, the
first story eleven feet and the second story
hall sixteen feet eight inches, making the
building two stories and an attic in height.
1t is to be constructed wholly of granite in
regular coursed ashlar. The exterior walls
will be two feet two inches in thickness,
with the exterior windows OF plate glass
The main entrance is to be through an open
