the unusual dry weather, there was oft.

failure. For this reason, coupled with
the beneficial effects Of the state bounty
bill, which enabled tho manufacturers
to pay "a uniform price OF s. per ton, the
first Of May found both the Norfolk and
Grand Island factories closing their
books with their full complement Of
1000 acres each-all contracted by farm.

acres more refused by each place.
Planting began in good season and with
less damage than in previous years from
blowing Of coil. There was a lack Of
misture in the latter part Of May, but
fortunately before the situation became
very serious, the copious rains Of June
brought the crop out Of it's only critical
situation this season and started the
plants growing at a very rapid rate, 80
that now the crop is lie a thriving condi.

given to the favorable weather that has
prevailed, it would be unjust to the

KEELY oUTDONE.

The Greenville Reflector is response
BILE for the following:
MI. Alfred Forbes tells us that he
thinks he has accidentally discovered
a cure for drunkenness, at least some
thing that kills the effects of whiskey.
The other day q man badly under the
influence of liquor staggered into his
store and asked that something be
given him, complaining that he felt
bad. Thinking to get rid of the man
Mr.. Forbes said Il will give youa dose
of salts if you want it," The man
agreed to take the salts, it was sent
for, he drank it and staggered away.
About twenty minutes later the man
was seen going by the store walking
straight and apparently as sober as
any man on the street. The sudden
change in condition of the man was
spoken about, and concluding that the
salts must have had something to do
with it a dose was given to another
drunken man. This man reported
afterwards that in a very short while
after taking the salts all effect of the
whiskey left him.
II the taking of a simple dose of
epson salts had such an effect as this
upon persons under the influence of
whlskey it is worth giving a trial by
others. We remember tohave several
times heard druggist say that salts
was the greatest medicine in the world.
and If In addition to it's other virtues
IL proves to be in reality a cure for
drunkenness it will make for itself a
greater reputation. If any others
try a dose of it with the same result as
these two cases they should let it be

about a tramp riding On the truck of a

A gentleman from Henderson tells
us that will surpass it. He was
standing near the track whena through
freight on the S. A. L. road passed.
The train slackened it's speed a little in
crossing the switches, and as it passed
he saw two tramps, between the cars,
On the bumpers, each one holding on to
the brake rod. AS they passed one
tramp had a string tied around a tooth
of the other tramp and he pulled out
the molar as they sped along and just
as they got opposite this witness. It is
hard to down a tramp.-DWrhGm Sun.
