( Mr.. ]. A. Latta lost mule from
collie last Friday night.
A/'Mr. McClain has been having con.
siderable trouble with his dynamo
during the past two weeks. 1t is
probable that he will have to buy
new one.
|NCensus Enumerator Witherspoon is
getting along with his work in York
vile quite rapidly. He is not allowed
to give out any information as to the
count, and people are, of course, guess.
ing at the population of the town.
The guesses range from 1000 by the
more conservative people, up to 1000
by those who are more enthusiastic.
1t is quite likely that the 1000 mark
will be exceeded.
Hhe York Drug Store has installed
| for the entertainment of its customers
Regina music box. 1t does not work
except with nickle in the. slot; but
when it gets its nickle it exhibits mar
vels of mechanical ingenuity, and rem
ders music that is simply per.
feet. The instrument is very ex'
pensive one, having cost several hun
hdred dollars. Its like is not often seen

M the games with Union last Fri
day and Saturday, the Yorkville base
ball team beat, and was beaten. The
score of the first game was 10 to in
favor of Yorkville, and of the second,
IL to 9 in favor of Union. Manager
White is very we'll satisfied with the
work of his team. He thinks that it
outplayed Union both days; but he
does not care to offer any excuses for
having lost the second game. He
promises to clear up that matter when
Union comes to Yorkville. The boys
had hard, tiresome trip of it through
the country both ways. They did not
reach Yorkville until Sunday morning
at 5 o'clock, having travelled all night.
The town council held meeting last

Mr.. Smith turned the three punches
over to the reporter and they are now
to he seen by any one who may be
sufficiently interested to call at THE
ENQUIRER Office.
During the conversation with Mr..
Smith last Saturday, the reporter got
out of him also some very interesting
information as to the quantity of seed
that should be sown to the acre. 81
have six acres of wheat" he said.
"Four acres of it are on red land, and
two acres on grey land. That on red
land is generally acknowledged to be
the best anywhere in the neighbor-
hood but that on the grey land is not
so good, principally because the grey
land is not 30 we'll adapted to wheat.
But the most important thing is in
the seeding. Up to year before last I
practiced the bushel TO the acre idea !;
but as 1 had been noticing for quite a
while, the much better results that
were being secured by my neighbors,
Messrs. John and w. L. Caldwell, who
each SOW only half bushel to the
acre, I finally worked up nerve enough
to try it also. 1t is the very thing for
any sized seed upon any kind of land ,
except if the seed be smaller, the
quantity to the acre should be less.
Why, if you could get stand like that
81 head bunch, a gallon to the acre
would be enough. But it is just this
Put half bushel to the acre on good
land and it will stool out and give you
all the stand the soil can carry, and il
you put it on poor land, it will still
get everything there is there for it-no
more and no less. If you sow more
than half bushel to the acre on good
land you will crowd it so badly as to
prevent the best results"
Before he left, Mr.. Smith stated that
he had, during the morning, harvested
forty dozen bundles of oats from one.
third of bushel of seed, sown on one.
third of an acre of land. He was satis-
fed that the oats would yield bushel
to the dozen at the rate of 12O bushels
to the acre.

when the highest prices of the session

from spring wheat states are undoubt-

Congressman Finley thinks that the

Democrats has been consistently right.
He holds this not as matter of opinion,
but as a matter of fact, and he does

- No, the Transvaal war is not yet
over. That fact is much clearer now
even than it was last week. The re.
ports of few days ago indicated that
the next determined stand of the
Beers was to be made at Lydenburg,
about half way between Pretoria and
Lorenzo Marques, and in territory
through which the British had not yet
passed. There was little reason to
believe that any more effective opposi-
ton could develop on the back trail of
Roberts's army; but that is exactly
what has happened. As yet there are
no full details; but London dispatch
informs us that Londoners are disgust
ed. They are disgusted because the
conquered" inhabitants of the Free
State have arisen behind Roberts and
torn up the railroad, thus cutting off
the British source of supplies and oc-
casioning a delay of several weeks.
Although General Butler has crossed
from Natal into the Transvaal by way
of Lang's Mex, he is still confronted
by strong force of Beers, and it ap.
pears that the whole country is still
filled with bands of Beers capable of
harrassing strong parties of British.
The war may be close to its end ; but
if this be the case, the Beers are prob.
ably going to have sayso in the terms
of settlement.

information that does not yet belong

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.

The York County Summer school

teachers, from all parts of the county,
in attendance. Mr.. J. w. Thomson,
the principal, was on hand at the open.
ing, and also Miss F. L. Saunders, the
instructor in drawing; but Miss A. A.
Dunbar, Mr.. Thompson's assistant in
the regular branches, did not arrive
until yesterday morning.
Most of Monday was consumed in
the preliminary work of organization.
Those present were divided into two
sections, the first section consisting OF
the teachers who attended the school
last year, and the other consisting OF
teachers who have not previously at
tended. About half dozen elected
to repeat the course of last year with
the newcomers, and this is to be per.
mitted. Those who decided to 60 on
will receive more advanced course.
Mr.. Thomson announced that the
daily sessions would continue from 9
a. M, until l p. m. He also said that
he would expect prompt attendance
and faithful, painstaking work that
nothing else would be accepted as
satisfactory.
In connection with drawing, each
teacher is to take three other studies
of his or her choosing, and at the
close of the school there is to be a
strict examination on the branches
chosen. Those who pass successfully
this examination will not have to be
examined on the same branches at the
regular public examination. Those
who fail to pass will, of course, still
have the right to try at the public ex
animation, and all will have to stand
at the public examination on branches
not included in the summer school
course.
