WAYS OF TAKING A DRINK.
How One Fellow Asks Another to
Have n Nip.


1T is a peculiar thing how customs vary
the world over when it comes to taking
a drink" remarked a club man yesterday,
throwing his patent feathers over the var
nished surface of table at one Of the
clubs of Savannah and talking to a group
OF julep lovers, pending the order which
had just been given the boy.
Now, up In Kentucky when a fellow
proposes to take a drink with his friends
he says Let's get together Down here
in Georgia we say, We'll, what's the mat
ter with a nip?' In Charleston, since the
dispensary law has been put in vogue,
they say, Let us dispense The old re-
mark of what the governor OF North Car
DINA said to the governor of South Caro-
lima holds good in the Tarheel state to this
day. Out in Texas a fellow will walk up
to another and say, I've sold a steer and
have got the price-let us spend it,.
"All Of these methods of proposing to
take drink are well understood In their

THE CORN CROP.
Favorable Reports Received from lows,
Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas.

Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas.
CHICAGO, June L. Reports received
by the Corn Belt from more than 900
correspondents in Iowa, Nebraska,
Missouri and Kansas show that corn
planting has been practically finished
and that the conditions Of weather and
ground are highly favorable. Plant
ing was finished from one to three
weeks later than last year. Rains in
Nebraska have placed the ground in
excellent condition, and II the present
warm, bright weather continues vege-
tation will have rapid growth during
the next few weeks. Corn blowing
will be in full swing next week, and
under the present favorable weather
conditions will be prosecuted vigor-
ously.
In Iowa corn planting has been
pushed to practical completion. So
favorable has been the weather that
corn is coming up rapidly and cultiva.
ton has already commenced in many
localities. Iii generally believed that
the late season will not have any seri-
GUS effect on the crop II the present
weather holds good during the month
OF June.
Heavy rains have fallen along the
northern counties Of Kansas and the
ground is now In excellent condition.
Corn blowing is now under way. The
warm, bright weather which has gen.
orally prevailed in Missouri during the
past two weeks has brought the corn
out Of the ground and cultivation is
now going on in many localities. About
three-fourths Of the crop was big
enough to pillow during the last
week Of May and blowing will
be general during the first week
of June. Reports as to acreage Of
corn in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and
northern Kansas confirm previous re-
ports to the Corn Belt that there will
be material increase. The condition
of winter wheat in the above states is
not all that could be desired and the
crop will be much below the average
in the west The outlook for spring
wheat in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri
and Northern Kansas is much better
than a year ago. The fruit outlook is
encouraging.
