GOOD CORN YIELD,
Veil Company Expects 8 to io Hush-
 als to tcTe,

Two unusually large ears of field corn of common grade, raised on a farm near Pastoria owned by the Charles Veil Supply company, at tractod much attention yesterday, one of the ears measuring 1212 inches in length and the other measuring Il inches. Both were well filled.
 The Wei company has about 250 acres planted ill this corn, and it is expected the yield will average from So to 40 bushels to the acre. The land is said to have been constantly in cul- tivation for sixty years or more, and is known to be some of the oldest farm land in the county, hence the unusual interest shown in the big yield of corn reported.
 The corn was grown by colored tenants, and the result is accepted as indication that the colorcd farm CTS are anxious to be taught improv- cd farming methods, and willing tc follow instructions.

It Is true no doubt that among the carly Anglo-Saxons-of the same stock az the Germans-.there was great deal of hard drinking snd good deal of drunkenness although after the ipcursions of the Normans the habits of the country ih this respect were greatly improved.

At the instance it ts said, Of St. Dunstan, archbishop ot Canterbury, King Edgar. for the pur' pose of regulating the quantity q mar. might drink, ordained that pegs o' pins should ce inserted in the largs drinking vessels then muse The first person who drank em-tied the tank srd to the first peg from the top, tho second to the seco.ld peg. and sc on Anyone who went beyond one gin was liable to penalty,
