RottIng In the Ground. ......t
1t has been an unfavorable spring
on Irish potatoes. The weather has
been too cool. Mr.. Bolivar Carson, of
the Delphos neighborhood, reports the
planting Of about two barrels some
weeks ago, and the indications are
that most Of his seeds have rotted in
the ground.
A Good Season.
| The rain Of last Saturday is gener-
ally considered to have been one of the
| most beneficial that has fallen this
year. Coming as it did in a gentle,
even, prolonged shower, instead Of
washing plowed lands away, 1t sank
into the soil, loosened up the earth and
gave recently planted crops something
to start on.

Smallpox In London.
A case Of SMALLPOX developed at
London, just across the Cherokee line,
a mile from Smyrna, last Friday. A
family Of Negroes are the victims. The
Smyrna people are doing the best they
can to protect themselves from a
spread of the disease. They have noti-
fed the supervisor Of Cherokee Of the
situation, and it is probable that he
will look after the comfort and we'll
fare Of the stricken family.
Snow Tn April.
"Fifty-two years ago today-the 18th
OF April, 1881 measured five inches
Of snow on dry goods box in front Of
where Strauss store now stands"
said an old citizen Of Yorkville to the
reporter on Monday. 1T was an un-
usually forward spring." the speaker
went on to say, land the leaves on. the
trees were more than half grown.
Corn was knee high in places and cot
ton was growing right along. Many
people were looking for their first mess
Of green peas within the next few
days. but the snow paralyzed every
thing, and there was much replanting
to be DONE"
Sad Death at winthrop.
Miss Florence Loryea, one of the
Winthrop students, while sitting
watching the Saturday evening play Of
her companions, suddenly collapsed. and
before any aid could be given her she
had breathed her last. She was a
special music pupil in the college and
this was her first year here. At the
time Of her sudden death she was in
the college dormitory where she ROOM
ed. A fortnight ago she had measles
and had apparently about recovered.
President Johnson at once notified her
parents, who reside in st. Matthews,
and they arrived Sunday evening.
Will Make Other Arrangements.
The use Of the supervisors office by
the grand jury Is embarrassing to the
supervisor and county board Of COM
missioners. The supervisor Is pretty
busy with his office work at all times
that he Is in town, and this Is especial
ly the case while court Is in session.
1t has been the custom for quite a
while to turn the office over to the
grand jury during the attendance Of
that body on the sessions court, and
the arrangement does not suit at all.
We'll have to change that" said Su-
pervisor Gordon on Monday. The mat
ter will be brought up at the next meet
ing of the board and we will see II we
make other arrangements for
the grand jury
