Newton.
The Baptist church of this place was
organized in 1852, with eight members.
This year completes half century of
.ts existence and the event was cele.
brated by the church last Thursday, by
special services in connection with the
annual meeting. One day last
week young man came into the
clerks office and procured marriage
license, and the next day brought it
back unused, giving as a reason for
so doing that the father of the young
lady he thought to marry was sick. and
that he would need the license about
the first of the year.
Boone.
Boone county is still good enough for
the average farmer and the county
would be much better off with a few
more farmers like Sam McGraff within
its borders, says the Republican. Mr..
McGraff is not farming on particular
ly large scale, yet he makes 1t pay.
This week he sold an even $4,000 BUSH
els of corn for fifty cents per bushe!,
delivery to be made at Jordan. $1,000
for corn is not so slow in an off year.
Earlier this season this same farmer
sold 10000 bushels of good oats which
brought the top market price. That's
the kind Of farming that pays.

1t has been many years since the or
chards of Jefferson county have borne
such crop as the present season.
Wherever there are apple trees there
are apples in abundance. Fine fall
fruit is now retailing at twenty-five to
forty cents a bushel, and there is prob
ably enough of 1t in the county, If it is
properly cared for, to supply the local
demand -. Jedediah Mount, who
died in this city Thursday. had been
a member of the Methodist Episcopal
church for eighty-one years. He was
born at Washington, Penn, April IL,

Trustees Of State College Dis.
cuss Question Of New Build.
Ing at Ames.
Decision Reached to Erect Two
New Structures. Scientific
and Agricultural.
Question as to Which Should
Have Preference Starts
Lively Debate.
Special to Times-Republican.


Ames, Sept. 12.-The trustees of
Ames college held a most important
noon and evening. Governor Cummins
and State Superintendent Barrett as
ex-off1cio members of the board were
also present. The matter that came up
for discussion and for which the meet
ing was called was to consider the mat
ter pertaining to the new buildings to
be erected at the college. The COM
mittee which was selected to visit va
rious cities in the west to look over
college buildings and obtain new ideas
pertaining to the proposed buildings,
was present and reported. It was at
first intended to erect only one build
ing, but the committee reported that it
thought it advisable to erect two build
ings. one for the agricultural DEPART
ment and the other to house the scien-
English history. and zoology, that have
been occupying temporary building
since the fire. AS soon as it was de-
cided to erect both buildings discussion
arose as to which one should be given
the preference. While there was no
ill-feeling aroused among the mem
bers the discussion was most earnest
and the meeting continued until late
hour OF the night. Governor Cummins
was of the opinion that SO long as this
state was a purely agricultural one the
building to house that department
should be the first constructed. Other
members were of the opinion that both
departments should be given an equal
chance and both buildings erected at
about the same time. The discussion
waxed most earnest and when 1t came
to a vote resulted in tie. Several
ballots We're taken in the matter, but
the deadlock still remained. The meet
ing was adjourned to meet at some
time next week without definite un-
derstanding being reached.
