Indian Agriculturists.

The Indians on the Shoshone reser-
vation have to the present time this
season sown 125, ZOO pounds OF grain,
and it's expected they will SOW as
much more before the close OF the
planting season. The Department is
not giving the seed to the Indians this
year as heretofore, but is loaning it
and expects the Indians to repay it
when they harvest their crops. The
pupils of the Indian school are farm
ing extensively under the direction OF
the Indian agent, Captain Wilson, and
the teachers of the school. They
have put out $4,000 cabbage plants
and have q model garden. A test will
be made on the farm with sugar beet
seed, the Department having furnished
a large quantity for experiment. Under
the present management of Indian
affairs the Indians of the Shoshone
reservation are improving rapidly In
condition, and the majority of the
tribe will soon become self-sipport.

ANNUAL REUNION
OF the Confederate Veterans at
Greenville.

OF the Confederate Veterans AZ
Greenville.
The following order has been issued:
CHARLESTON, 8. c., July Is, 1897.
General Orders No. 90.
/. The annual reunion for 1897 OF
this division will be held at Greenyille,
s. c., commencing at 10 g. m. August
25th. The low railroad rate of cent
per mile, which will be given from all
points within the State, will allow q
largo attendance Of delegates. All COM
rades of the division are earnestly IN
vited to be present. Whether delegates
or not they have right to be IN the
convention. Confederate Veterans who
have not yet joined the q. G. V. are
cordially asked to join their former
comrades in this grand reunion.
The division now has nearly one hmm
dred camps, and this reunion is apt to
be the largest ever held of ex-Confeder-
ates in this State.
The good people of Greenville are
making every arrangement for the en-
tertainment of the veterans, and We can
be sure of the most hospitable and low
ing reception and care.
2. Each camp will appoint one young
lady as sponsor, whose duties and place
at the reunion will be designated in
subsequent orders.
3. AS soon as further details of the
are fixed, they will be

Holmes calls the katydids ''this testy
little dogmatist," for they never tire
of saying "katy did" and "katy
didn't"
But about this improved man and
woman that these skeptics would make
if they could. Sometimes man does
fall over a wheelbarrow in the night
and bruise his shins, and remember
we'll how many hard licks we boys got
when we played shinny at the, old
schoolhouse on top of the hill, but the
sores got we'll and no bones were
broken. If the calf was in front the
bruise would be as bad and it would
make mans pants bag at the calf
instead OF the knee, and woman's
calf when riding q bike would look
awful! About that third eye IN the
back of the head, it would very much
interfere with our sleeping position
and give no room for woman's back
hair and utterly paralyze her devotions
in church. If we are to have third
eye the optical nerves and muscles
should be 80 arranged that when the
two in front are open the one in the
rear should be shut, and vice versa
But this third eye would of course
necessitate larger cerebellum to hold
the machinery, and that would give q
man the big head. As to q double
jointed elbow for scratching purposes,
I've no particular objections, though
on a pinch man can do like Sidney
Smiths pigs: He can rub up against
a post or the edge of door and get
relief. As to that Munchauson busi-
ness of running and swimming and
flying, it is folly to discuss. Man has
no need of such powers, and if he had
four legs like horse and fins like .
fish and wings like bird he wouldn't
be a man, but sort of quadruplex
amphibious aerole, too smart for tins
world and not good enough for the
next.
Good gracious! what world OF new
theories about man and the creation
these modern thinkers have got up.
They can't fool the old folks, but I
fear they do demoralize some OF the
young. Young man, stop and think
before you desert the faith of the faith
ers. It is safe to say that such great
and good men as Calvin and Luther
and Knox and Wesley and Whitfield
and Sir Isaac Newton and Addison,
and Pope and hundreds of others who
lived and died in the faith we're not
mistaken. Wait until these agnostics
and skeptics all agree on religion
that will give comfort in adversely
and peace in the hour and article OF
death. No, don't wait, for they have
had time enough and offered nothing

that Altman struck him first with the

of his house, beating him over the head

followed the gun was broken, and Bull,

to the growth Of sugar beets is
written by Col. W. G. Lyon, editor
Of the Newark, (Ohio) American,
who visited many sections of the
state during the late campaign:
During an extended trip cover
ing the greater portion of the pro-
ductive sections of the new and
wonderful rich state of North Da-
kota, we find that in parts Of that
state there has been experiments
in beet growing and with results
in productiveness, both as to guam
tity and quality, that insures to
that state in the near future a
large share of the sugar production
for our whole country.
In much of the lands where the
drouth makes cereal crops uncer-
tain, beets, turnips: cabbage ond
potatoes are sure of an immense
yield each year. The soil is rich
and deep, and while beets grow to
an immense size, larger than we

world-where sugar beets can be
grown in such immense yields as
to surprise those not having in
