Dusen elevator man, clings to his former es-
innate of Is bushels an acre for it. This at
80 cents a bushel, the price he will pay for it,
will bring the farmer $12 an acre for his

some, it falls far short of the macaroni as a

The people in adjoining states know lit
tie of the excitement and warm state of feel
ing that the capital conclusion caused by the
discussion of the p~artisans of the two towns
is causing among the people in many sections
at least throughout the state. 1t threatens to
overshadow national, state and even local
politics. There's a romantic feature connec-
ted with the struggle that is unwittingly lead
ing many well intentioned young people to-
wards matrimonial entanglements, for the
plan of the two a~spirants for the hand Of the
voter on election day, by bringing to their
cities excursions of people from all over the
commonwealth, is causing acquaintanceship
and friendliness to spring up in a night as it
were between young people, and old ones,
too, from widely scattered communities.
Several weddings have already occurred be-
tween people from different towns who met
as guests of one of these capital aspirants.
A conservative estimate might place the num-
Der as $50 couples who will wed before
snow flies as a result of the free and easy ex-
cursion feature Of the fight. The rival that
has the rolling river, on whose bosom the ex-
cursionists sail down stream in a we'll equip
ped steamboat, dancing to the music Of a
capital band, seems to have the keenest at
traction for the people of the state. 1t
is needless to say that this town is Pierre.
In one OF the towns a flint-hearted resident
bachelor, a member of the committee on en-
tertainment, who had long since been given
up by countless maidens as uncatcable, was
landed by one of the first fair excursionists
from the east side of the state, showing that
the unmarried of the two towns are going to
lose much by the time she election is over.
The lady visitor, headache in hand, got off
the train, pale, a subject for sympathy. The
bachelor rushed forward, saying give me
your hand please! The lady at once braced
up completely. Believing that art had been
practiced on him he said: I hope you didn't
take my offer as q proposal? The lady said
that she most certainly did. The bachelor

Francis, the Sir Philip Francis whom
many ingenious critics have, in def

flying with the author of the letters OF
Junius, was an inyeterate gambler.
Cards dominated over the whole Anglo

the losses at the gaming table of their

Francis 70 spend every night in this

superintendent Graves is sanguine
over the result of the present test. He
says that the Jerseys have always
demonstrated their superiority over all
other breeds when placed in competi-
ton. aud this time they will show to
better advantage than ever. Not only
is the Jersey milk richer in butter fat
than the milk Of any other breed, says
Mr.. Graves, but it can be produced at
q less cost. The Jersey COWS are the
smallest of the standard breeds. and
he asserts that they consume less feed.
They assimi'ate their food, and it is
converted mo milk and butter and is
not used in building up and sustaining
q large carcass
We are going TO make all other
breeds take to the woods after this
test" said Mr.. Graves. "A few days

to say Of Mr.. Bernard Shipp, the

at the home of DR.. Holt:
Mr.. Shipp was scholar of emf
nent attainments and the author OF
two valuable contributions to Amer
ican history, viz Indians and
Antiquities of America" and DE
Soto and Florida" I"
He had travelled extensively in
Europe and was thoroughly con-
versant with customs and manners
of the European nations. During
bis life Mr.. Shipp collected a mag
ui6cent library. valued at 500. 600
which in his latter years he pre-
sented 10 the University of Virginia
and which is known at that institu-
ton as the "Shipp Library"
In his death man whose life has
been a constant employment of the
talents with which he was endowed
passes from the scenes of earthly
activity. The fruits of his labors
will stand as a monument to liis
memory.
