John Cleary threshed over
5000 bushels of wheat from 100
acres.
Elsewhere in this paper you
will find an article entitled
Green Corn For Hogs" Every
farmer should read it.
Farmers should be very care
full and not let hogs and cattle
run in the same lot when corn

extensive stockmen of Union
township, was Il pleasant caller
at this office Tuesday afternoon
says the Paris Appeal. In dis
cussing the record breaking
corn crop and the scramble for
stock to consume it he said:
my advice to the people is to
go slow. Cattle and stock of
all kinds is now at tie highest
tide and it is more than likely
that many man will feed out
his crop and next spring find
that his stock is worth no more
than to-day. | am Judging by
experience of 1895 when a
bumper crop was raised. l
went to the city markets and
bought 200 cattle at a high
price, expecting to feed them
myself. When l got the last
load home l found tie people
over in North Missouri simply
wild for cattle to feed. The
prices were very high, compar.
atively, and l dc cided to make
a sure thing by selling out and
saving my crop. The cattle
went like hot cakes. Men who
were short of funds gave me
mortgages ou the cattle, on
their hogs or anything they
had. They lost their corn,

Corn growers have been
troubled for years with chinch
bugs coming from wheat fields
and fastening on the corn after
wheat is harvested, sometimes
in such numbers as to destroy
much corn. John Brown who
cultivated some corn ground
for Uncle Peter Baton last year
got rid Of the ougs which enter.
ed his field, by simply cutting
the corn infested and placing 1t
in small piles. The green tod.
der soured and the bugs were
attracted to the piles aud there
was no further damage to that
corn. In a few days Mr. Baton

The petition filed by H. H. Myers regular republican candidate for gov ernor, for an injunction against Secre- tary of State Crockett to prevent him from certifying to the county boards of election commissioners the name of Charles D. Greaves as a republican candidate for governor was dismissed Tuesday afternoon by Chancellor Martin of the Pulaski chancery court, on the ground that he had no juris- diction.
 In dismissing the case Chancellor Martins opinion was delivered in few well chosen words that presented the case, and his reasons for dismiss ing it, in 6 clear and lucid form. His words in part were "The petition for temporary injunction is denied on the ground that the chancery court, under the constitution and statutes, has no jurisdiction to adjudge and en- force purely political rights, or to determine questions of purely po- litical character"
 According to the decision, the names of MT. Greaves and MT. Myers will appear on the ticket as simply republicans"

 "They sat on the steps at midnight, two fools that were better in bed; murmuring honeyed nothings, while the silver moon hung her head.

The bachelor thinks it is nothing, the old maid says it is vice, and mama says it is naughty, but the youngsters know it is nice. ."-Ex.

DAVIS VERSUS DINSMORE.

Fayetteville, Aug. 12.-The nine teenth speech of the gubernatorial debate was listened to by 2,OOO people here Monday. MT. Greaves ad- dressed a large crowd at Il o'clock and did not interfere with the regular debate.
 Governor Davis referring to the al legged opposition of Hon. Hugh A. Dinsmore, candidate for congress, said: "I told the people of Eureka Springs the other night that Dinsmore was opposed to me and I see him in the audience and I will say in his presence what said to his back.n
 Gov. Davis then said: "Mr. Dins- more, l was told by w. c. Byrum of Harrison that you said recently while there at court with Senator Berry that you would vote for me, but would not do so if you were not so situated and I was not the nom- inee, and that I was the worst dem agogue in the state."
 ''Did you say this, MT. Dinsmore?n
 Gov. Davis then paused for reply, and Mir. Dinsmore rose and said he did not admire MT. Davis as a man and did tell MT. Byrum, who, he said, was a good man, that Gov Davis was the biggest demagogue in the state, and said that he would vote for him, but did not like to do so Dinsmore went into statement of personal ex- planation when Gov. Davis stopped him and said: "Mr. Dinsmore you do admit that you said I was a demagogue and you would vote for me reluctantly, since I was the nom- inee. Did you say this?"
 MT. Dinsmore replied: "Yes, sir"
 Gov. Davis said: "This is not my kind of democracy; you are the nom- inee for congress; if you had re- publican opponent I would not call you demagogue; I would not crit icise you, I would canvass every county in your district, if I could help you. Would you do this for mel"
 MT. Dinsmore did not reply.
