Joseph Malcolm, the Avoca miller,
informed us Saturday, that he believed
the farmers would tie much fooled on
their wheat crop this year. What
he had examined was very poor al
though the fields had the appearance
of being in good condition. It is when
the thresher gets to work that the crop
is really tested.
The deal was made last Thursday

Dr. Jensen's new home looks so
beautifully bright and clean, all of the

quired how he managed it. He says
In the old country, every one washes
their houses all over on the outside,

washed twice since he has moved in.
This is a most excellent custom and
one our people better emulate.
A few days ago while Mrs. A. J.

She filled the tank and lit the gene
rator, when the gasoline poured out of

Mrs. Klepser succeeded In smothering
out the tire, but not before the floor
and walls were badly scorched.
Uncle John Garber, one of our old
and esteemed friends who resides in
Manley, has lived to be 70 years of age,
and until last Sunday had never had
his picture taken. Some friendsdrove
into his yard on Sunday afternoon for
a social chat, and one of the party had
a camera. The conversation drifted
onto the fact that he would never be
photographed, and he was finally
persuaded to let them take his picture.
His friends feel very much pleased to
have the picture and will prize it very
highly.

he was going to die and called all the
family about him and bid them good

"I am going to die. One, two three."
and turning over without assistance
he gasped the last time.
riattsmouth has had two coal dis
covers lately, the last being by Frank
Svehla. They have doubtless struck
that vein of slate and bastard coal
which appears in spots all over Cass
couuty. There is scarcely a precinct in
east of range 10 that has not at some
time or other had a coal discovery and
excitement. At Jones landing in Liber
ty Drecinct many tons of coal were
w m
mined; it was a fair article of light
steam coal and a good deal or it was
used on steamboats in early days. It
was not good for blacksmith coal as it
lacked heating dualities, though it
blazed freely. On the Cannon place
north of Union quite a lot of the same
kind of coal was dug out and the
neighbors bought it to save wood
which was scarce. It blazed up with
a blue blaze, and snapped but was not
satisfatory. The same vein crops out
at various places along the Weeping
Water. The only place where any
real coal has been found isat Elmwood
There is an 8 inch vein there that is
fine coal. It is about 39 feet from the
surface. It is claimed that good coal
has been found lately near Louisville;
we hope it is so but believe it is but a
continuation of the stuff that has been
found in so many places, and that does
not deserve the name of coal. The
state geologist of Pennsylvania told
the writer that we would never find
coal of any amount in this county. He
said we might find an occasional spot.of
very limited area in which a fair
article of coal would be found, but
nothing that could ever be called a
coal mine.

Krngsley Lee is herefiom Oklahoma
looking after bis interest in the coal
mining enterprise. It was on Mr.
Lee's farm adjoining town that the

Thursday evening at a depth of 57 feet
a vein of good coal was struck by the
oil drill, samples of which are tested
and will burn readily. It is of a good
glossy color and resembles the Sheri
dan, Wyoming variety. The oil well
is located in the south part of town
and about a half mile west of the Lee
place where coal was discovered a few
months ago. It is believed to be the
same vein as found on the Lee farm
and is said to be about twelve inches
in thickness. This is considered a
splendid showing for the top vein and
gives assurance of a rich find further
down.
