Yesterday morning In temperature
and aspect more resembled an Octo-
Der day than the Tuesday succeeding
the Fourth of July. The thermometer
measured fifty degrees. and heavier
clothing, when available, was donned
and found acceptable.
The Fourth of July here passed very
quietly, outside of the popping of fire
crackers, but it was generally observed.
Fireworks displays were given by
several citizens in the evening, and so
the day ended. Our correspondents
give the proceedings in other localities.

Mrs. j. T. Axes hen-house had been
persistently robbed of eggs for week
or two, but no trace of the thief could
be had until last Sunday, when a five
foot blacksnake was discovered under
the nest. He was dispatched without
DELAY, and the fruit of the hens, it Is
hoped. will hereafter be not misappro-
priated.
Our old friend, Jack Dewitt sends
us a specimen bunch of millet from an
eighteen-acre patch, which is wonder.
The stalk is fully four feet long, the
head measuring four inches. He says
the Weld will be the finest ever grown
in this section. A few days before the
late rains set in the prospect was very
unpromising.
The City Council met last Monday
and did two good things-one affirma-
tive. and one negative. The good
thing done was the introduction and
first reading of an ordinance that will,
when it becomes law, abate the loose

the rejection of a proposition to in
crease the rate of taxation. The vote
was close-Gicvanoni, Baldwin and
Marks for increase, and Bishop. Clay
baugh and Kendall against 1.-THE
Mayor giving the deciding vote.

parents with this fruit. rather than
commonplace apple. But maybe thell
taste, poor things, wasn't cultivated.
The Madison County Democrat claims
that we missed the point in our last
article IN regard to the Marvin lnsti'
tute. That the ground of complaint
was that the Board of Curators failed
to make any provision for Conference
School. which they were in duty bound
to do. and not because they failed te
accept an unfinished building. Would
not the election of q faculty. the ap
pointment of officers. and the organi'
cation of the school, amount to an &C
ceptancep The REGISTER takes the
ground that the conditions preceden,
must be fully met before Conference
can properly take any action.
