Big Oats Yield.

Twin Lakes against the world fcr
oats raising Mr. Mickey Clemens
raised 544 bushels OF oats from 10
acres, making an average OF SIS 2-s
bushels per acre. Mr.. Clemens is a
hustling young fellow which was
proven by the tally board at the
threshing machine last Monday. Ii
this yield can be beaten in Marshall
county, we would be pleased to hear
reports. Plymouth Tribune.
Now we have the utmost respect
for the Tribune, Twin Lakes and Mr..
Mickey Clemens, but when it comes
to raising oats we will put our own
Frank Smith and sons, who run the
big c. w. Shakes farm, against Twin
Lakes or Mr.. Mickey Clemens either.
Mr.. Smith is a quiet unaSsuming fel-
low. but wheE it comes - raising
farm products he is there with both
.eet. with head ip and still coming
Last week the threshers dad the
threshing work Of the Shakes farm
and when the mists had cleared away
i was found Mr.. Smith and his sons
had thresaled from 30 acres just 1900
bushels OF OATS By simple pro-
cess of figuring it will be seen that
the average is 60 bushels per acre.
Now will the Tribune, Twin Lakes
and Mr. Mickey stack up against
hat? Bourbon township beats the

"Tlhe court house officials are be-
ginning to won 'er if they are going
o be obliged to work this winter
with their overcoa and gloves on,
as there is no means at present to

PURSUANT TO the suggestion given
oy the most accommodating little ed
itor in the world, pumber OF the
ountr officials held an iaformal
meeting, and discussed the sthgges-
ION. 1t was finally resolved, that in
asmuch as the aforseafd little editor
vas the cause of the court house be-
ng torn up for the winter and mas
much as a number of Metsker's busi-
uess rooms would in all probabIfities
be empty during the cold months,
the editor, to keep harmony in the
Democratic party, the factions on
which are traceable to his quarrel
ONE disposition, might, and ought,

Superstition is Waning.

That the publicity given the work
OF the pathological laboratory oil
the state board of health I'm its work
with rabid dogs and other dome site
animals, is rapidly destroying the
superstition THAT dogs are more apt
TO go made in dog days than at
other periods, is the belief OF DR..
Simopds, head of the laboratory. The
total number Of brains OF animals
suspected of having rabies received
ior study August 1, is six, .wl1ich is
about an average number for the
period. Among the number only one
was found to contain negri bodies, a
certain sign OF the presence OF rabies.
Word has been received at the lab
oratory from Roachdalc that six OF
eleven animals bitten by a rabid hog
near that place several days ago,
have developed rabies. The brain
OF the suspected animal was examin-
ed in the laboratory and iegri bodies
we're foand present Acting on or
ders from Dr. Sirnonds, THE animals
bitten b. the hog were at once re-
strained to await developments.
