J. R. Smith, who has gained
quite a reputation as a farmer, has
left us a specimen of oats, which is
excellent in size and weight. He
threshed 1C00 bushels as the yield
from 2-4 acres, being GG bushels to
the acre. If farmers had made
every crop this year a big success
they would.havobeen altogether too
proud to contain themselves. The
lightness of the wheat crop will op
erate as a check to inordinate good
feeling over the big yields of oats
and com.
Ghordis Slull was in town Sat
urday and bought himself a Chal

Upon inquiry of our reporter as to

Judge said that only one of his neigh
bors has threshed and he got -nine
bushels to the acre of wheat and forty
of oats. From his observation, Mr.
b. thinks that, other things equal
crops upon a north slope suffer ver
much less from dry weather, tha
others, the buii shining less directly

One little incident connected with the

worth mentioning: The machine wa

Our regular correspondents
know just how we desire articles for
the Journal to be prepared, while
occasional do not. From such we
desire only local news, and that
in brief brevity is the soul of wit.
Matters which can possibly interest
only one or two persons, need no
mention in a newspaper.
We have lived in Columbus
nearly twelve years, and have, dur
ing all that time, heard the business
men of Columbus, as a class, com
mended by their customers for their
fair dealing and cleverness. One
mau told us of how oue of our old
time grocers (a perfect stranger to
him at the time) trusted him for a
sack of flour when he hadn't a cent
of money and nothing for his fam
ily to eat, trusted him without any
hesitation, too, seeming to take his
measure. It is such a knowledge of
human nature, combined with the
practice of correct business princi
ples that have made our business
men, as a class, the real friends of
their customers.
The City Council of Columbus,
at the earnest solicitation of its
mayor at the time, J. P. Becker,
passed an ordinance after the pas
sage of the Sloeumb liquor law, and
before it went into effect, conform
ing to it, as much as could be under
the then existing law. This was
done, too, according to the advice of
Columbus attorneys, and our city
authorities have had no trouble in
making the transit from one to the
other. At Omaha nothing was done
to prepare for tho new order of
things, and now it looks as though
the liquor dealers of that city are to
have trouble, the Council as yet, not
being able to pass an ordinance,
and, under the decision of the Su
preme Court, the traffic is prohibited
if no ordinance is passed.
