! The property assessed to George A.
Brown in the fifth district was advertised
| by mistake in the tax sales. The real
estate had been purchased by William F.
McNutt who paid the taxes on the same.
| By mistake the amount was placed to
the credit of the personal property which
has been removed from the state. Coun-
| ty Treasurer Wells desires this explana-
ton to be made in justice to Mr.. McNutt
who acted in his usual business like man.
ner Immediately after he became the

Mr.. c. Bosley Littig urges all farm
ers to read bulletin No. Al of the Iowa
Experiment Station, as it gives the re-
suits of the testing of 1000 samples of
seed corn used by farmers in that state.
These tests show that only about 60 per
cent. of the seed was fit to plant, which
means that the fields would have har-
vested only about this percentage of
crop. There is no doubt but what the
seed in a large measure controls the
yield, and it is not yet too late for farm
ers to test their seed before planting.

On Friday afternoon, Higgins and Ma
son, of Baltimore, general agents for this |
machine, made a run to Bel Air with |
demonstrating car. The machine excited |
general admiration, and it is more than |
probable that a number of new ones will |

training and associations have always
| been with dry landers.

guided by the result of the previous Sun
day meeting, when in his absence the
congregation had united in a request
that he remain. He said that he hoped
the decision would be a new start for the
church, and renewed life in its different
departments. Mr.. WATSON preached no
