George Eerdon got 70 acres OF
wheat sowed in March.
Geo. Spencer, who owns several
pieces Of land in this town, expects
to sell some of it, possibly all Of it,
very soon. A man from Iowa IS
coming to see it.
T. II. Prideax last week sold the
wheat that he had stored for some
time in the Peavey elevator. He
had something over 500 bushels
and got 49cts. for it.
R. Prideaux arrived at home on
Thursday last and on his way stop
ped at Minneapolis to hear McKin-
ley; he thinks himself we'll repaid
for doing so. He says Mckinley
is not fowery speaker, but for
good common sense and logic Nc
Kinley is the man, and he hits
the nail square on the head.
A few days ago the Shaw BROTH
ers, of Little Rock, had the mis-
fortune while threshing to loose
two stacks Of oats by fire started
by sparks from the engine. We
learn that Ed. has been under the
doctors care troubled by to much
exertion in trying to save things
from the fire. March is not very
good month to do threshing in.
The Easter service on Sunday
was a very pleasant one. The
children had been thoroughly
drilled, and rendered their differ
ent parts remarkably we'll. The
great truths taught are old as the
dispensation under which we live
but old as they are, somehow they
always seem new. We suppose
at the end of time they will be full
of interest. More children took
part in the service than ever before
and the service proceeded with the
regularity Of clock works and those
who took the matter in charge are
entitled to much credit.
We believe that Miss Ida Dow and
Mrs. Nellie Shore had the super
vision Of the preparatory work and
was ably assisted by some others.
The rendering of the musical part
was delight to every one. The
members of the choir we're: T. H.
Prideaux, O. M. Ferrin and E. Mel
son, Miss Clara Prideaux, Miss M.
Scott and Mrs Nellie Shore; Miss
Minnie Dow at the organ.
That the influence of Sunday
School in neighborhood is salu-
tary, we think none will question.
Even apart from any higher con-
siderations, how much better it is
these children should come togeth-
er on Sunday and learn to be near
and orderly and respectful to their
o1dorr no H. or than that thew shou1d

EDITOR ADvANcE:-As no doubt
there are readers of the ADVANCE who
are interested in this section of the
"Sucker State" I will try and give
few items. At the present time the
weather and crops are subjects of the
greatest interest to residents here.
March, up to the 22nd, would have
passed we'll for early May; but little
frost and very pleasant up to that
date. Murcury sometimes reaching
500. Vegetation of all kinds, had
got under full Roadway, the wheat
fields had become green,-a fine pros
pect for heavy crop.-Buds of fruit
trees had swelled very much and
some of the smaller fruits had partly
leaved out. Ground being in splen-
did condition the farmers had their
oat all sown. Many of them had
their potatoes planted, and made a
good start in the gardens
When Presto, what change in the
elements, it turned cooler, then cold,
and continued in that line until but
few degrees above zero was reached,
often with stiff northwest wind
thrown in. To-day, milder, 18o
! above zero this morning, now spring
may open in reality. What the eff

Troublesome Initials

Some years ago several wealthy
men Of Memphis, Tenn, built q
steamboat, and named it after one
of their best citizens, Charles B.
Church. But in painting the
name on the paddle-box, as they
wanted the letters large, they put
simply the initials, so that the name
read &c. B. Church"
When the colored people first
caught sight of the boat they puz-
zled themselves not a little over this
name. Such of them as could read
reasoned about the matter at great
length.
"What kind oh church am dat G.
B. Church," they queried what
does de c. B. STAN for? OATS what
we want to know"
At length bright thought struck
one of them, and he exclaimed joy.
fully, Il know what dat ere stan
for! Wonder l didn't see it fore
Dat c. B. stan for Colored Baptis'-
it's de Colored Baptis' Church, dat's
what it is"
The steamboat went by that name
for some time, until the owners, ir
desperation at the jokes about it
erased the initials, and had Charlie!
B. Church painted in full.

Cody's Biography Written Abroad.
The following sketch of. Buffalo
Bill is credited to au English paper
by the Savannah News:
1.-THE cablegrams announce that
Colonel Cody, who will be we'll re-
membered in London, has returned
as Mayor of Nebraska. No better
selection could be made. Colonel
Cody was friend of man named
Boon, who discovered Kentucky in
1869. After marrying the grand
daughter of a distinguished gentle
man named Sitting Bull Frog, Cody
was twice Governor of Chicago, and
at one time was made Mayor of the
Arkansas Legislature. He also served
in the Confederate army under Ben
Butler, who so gallantly defended
New Orleans against General Long
street. The province Of Detroit re-
warded him for his military service
by sending him to Congress, where he
introduced bill for the relief of the
citizens Of Buffalo. 1t was in this
that he got his name of Buffalo Bill
While Mr.. Cody has a large ranch in
St. Louis, he finds time for litera-
ture, and writes for the Atlantic
Monthly, newspaper edited by
Mark Twain and Uncle Thomas
Cabin, a gentleman who made fame
by his negro dialect sketches"

LAFAYETTE'S BLUNDER.

Amusing Mistake Caused by His Lack of
Acquaintance with English.
When Lafayette, in 1924, made his
memorable tour through the United
States, many amusing incidents &C.
Cured. Lafayette spoke but little
English, and understood less. He
had retained few phrases, such as
"Thanks~ my dear FRIEND" Great
country" Happy mani" "Ah, I re-
member!" And, though he usually
uttered these in an effective manner,
they were sometimes ludicrously NAL
apropos. At Halifax the cortege was
met by General Daniel, who had sta
toned a company of soldiers by the
roadside, flanked by the ladies who
has assembled to do honor to the
guest of the State. 1t had been ar
ranged that the ladies should wave
their hankerchiefs as soon as Lafay-
cite came in sight, and when Daniel
exclaimed, welcome, Lafayette"
the whole company was to repeat the
words after him. Unluckily, the la
dies misunderstood the programme
and waited too long, only to be re-
minded of their duty by steDtorian
command of "Flirt, ladies, flirt, I
say" from the general as he walked
down the line to meet the marquis.
Equally misunderstanding their part,
the soldiers, instead of shouting
"Welcome Lafayette!" in unison at
the close of the generals speech, re-
peated the sentence one by one in
varying tones down the line. Gen
eral Daniel, frantic at this burlesque
Of his order, vainly attempted to
correct it; but as he unfortunately
stammered when he was excited, his
"Say it all to-to-to geth-er!" could not
overtake the running fire Of swell
come Lafayette." which continued all
along the line. Great country! great
country" replied Lafayette, turning
to General Polk, who was vainly try
ing not to smile. Recognizing an old
acquaintance, Lafayette greeted him
with great effusion: "Ah, my dear
friend, so glad to see you oEce more!
Hope you have prospered and had
good fortune these years." "Yes,
General, yes: but I have had the
great misfortune to lose my wife
since saw YOU" Catching the word
"wife," Lafayette guessed at the idea
of a recent marriage, and, patting
his old friend affectionately on the
shoulder, he exclaimed: Happy man!
happy mani"

Insulted.

Recently in Paris a person who is
classed as poet was sent to prison
for an assault with intent to commit
murder: and his case recalls that of
another poet, Chapon by name, who
about the middle Of the present CEN
fury ended his days in prison for
theft. Chapon was, indeed, an in
veterate thief, and was apprehended
more than once.
At the prison of Ste Pelagie, DUR
ing his incarceration, Chapon once
met Felix Pyat, revolutionist and
communist, who was generally in
prison for some political offence. AS
political prisoners were generally
sent to Ste Pelagie, and as Chapon
was somewhat pretentious and well
educated person, Pyat supposed that
he, too, had been sentenced for some
revolutionary attempt. So, stepping
up to him, he extended both his
hands and said, with a friendly smile:
1--WE, sir, political offenders"
Il beg your pardon, citizen" said
Chapon, strengthening up and look
ing down very coldly on Pyat," "I'm
in for stealing, if you pleased"

RELIGIOUS controversy is, after all,
the bitterest and most wrath-provOk-
ing of all forms of argument. At a
Vanceburg, KY, prayer meeting the
other night Deacon Lawhern was
powerfully uplifted and prayed with
great strength and eloluence. After
the services he was congratulated up
on his effort by Deacon Dills, who,
however, ventured to call his atten-
ton to what he deemed a flavor Of
heresy in certain raet of the prayer.
Deacon Lawhern repealed the insinu-
alton; Deacon Oils reiterated his
assertion: Deacon Lawhern felt it
his duty to say that Deacon Dills was
falsif1er; Deacon Dills retorted that
Deacon LaWhern was another; Dea-
con Lawhern seized stone and hit
Deacon Dills in the neck; Deacon
Dills clinched with bacon Lawhern
and bit his thumb off: Deacon Law
hern drew a slungshot and caved in
Deacon Dills' head and would have
dispatched him to his heavenly home
altogether if the pastor had not in
terfered. The whole affair was most
unfortunate, and as it turns out, ut
terly useless, because at last accounts
Deacon Lawhern still maintains his
orthodoxy, while Deacon Dills still
proclaims him to be hereto. There
is no more use disputing about doc
trine than rhere is in disputing about
tastes

SOME miscreants, who had gotten
into the Yellowstone Park, have
chased and exterminated the last of
the herd of buffalo which had been
preserved within it's precincts by the
United States Government at such
trouble and expense Unless there
be some still left north of our Cana
dian border. this interesting bovine
animal is now wholly extinct. The
millions that populated our Western
prairies are gone. The white man
found the quadruped easier to kill
and eat than the Indian, and it has
disappeared even in advance of the
disappearance of the red man. Here
and there some domesticated buffalo
are preserved, which may perpetuate
in captivity race which exists no
longer in wild and natural condition,
but these are all of the bison Ameri-
canus that now survive. The Indian
no longer feeds on buffalo hump. He
lives on reservation, aud his gov
eminent agent brings him at such
and such intervals so many cattle to

"BIFF" ELLISON, the cowardly New
York bully, wants to get out Of Sing
Sing, and petitions for his pardon are
being circulated in the clubs. "Biff"
evidently has press agent at work
in his behalf also. One New York
paper declares that ito man of his
birth and early associations the pass
ing inside the walls Of Sing Sing
and his incarceration there for a
month would be as severe a punish
ment as would ten years imprisop-
ment to an ordinary criminal" This
sort of dollar-a-line slobber is not
likely, however, to cause Governor
Flower to forget that "Bif" assaulted
and beat nearly to death feeble old
man; that he had frequently been
mixed up in similar affairs before,
and that his birth and early associa-
tions" did not prevent him from act
ing like brute and BLACKBOARD
toward a woman whom he progressed
to love. No; "Biff" should remain in
Sing Sing-that is, if the "ordinary
criminals" don't object to associating
with him. In that case it might be
we'll to electrocute him. But in any
event he ought not to be turned
loose on society again.

enable the passage from Southampton
or Liverpool to New York to be made
in four days. The rollers are to enter
the water to depth of about twen-
ty-six feet, and revolve within plat
form placed about twenty-four feet
above the water, so that there will
be rolling instead of gliding body,
as is the case in ordinary ships. The
rollers presumably are to be worked
by engines to secure propulsion. M.
Balm claims to have settled by ex-
pertinent that the stability OF the
roller type of vessel is at least as
great as that of the ordinary type,
and believes that the construction Of
his design of ship will be much less
costly than that of the usual descrip.
ton. According to French report, it
is proposed to put M. Bazin's plans
to a practical test by constructing a
vessel about 400 feet long and Of
about ninety foot beam, kwith rollers
seventy-f1ve feet in diameter and
thirty-fve feet wide. The latter are
to make twenty-five revolutions per
minute.

CURIoUsLY enough the first person
of consequence who expressed the
opinion that the Premier Of England
ought to be member of the House
of Commons was the great Duke of
Wellington. On the overthrow of
the Melbourne Ministry in lS41, act
ing on the advice of the outgoing
Minister, the young Queen sent for
Wellington and asked him to form a
Cabinet. The Iron Duke declined
the task, told the Queen that the
Premier should be member of the
popular assembly, and advised her to
send for Sir Robert Peel. Peel was
then counted one Of her enemies by
Victoria. She wept day over the
matter. then Peel was summoned and
became Premier. The precedent es-
tablished then Of taking the Premier
from the House Of Commons has been
frequently disregarded, however, as
in the case Of Lord John Russell,
Lord Aberdeen, Lord Derby, Lord
Salisbury, aud also in the case of
Lord Beaconsfeld's last administra-
tion.
