Box One, Cedar Rapids, Ia / 8-St According to J.C. Whitten, Horti- culturist of Missouri University, fruit trees that were sprayed and other wise properly cared for during the past summer promise to yield a good crop offruit this year while those that were not thus cared for promise but a small yield, The effet of prop erattention is more marked this} year than usual on account of the} “eeat” whic h was more than ordi- | nari'y abundant last summer, Craig Mills, for years a land mark, in “Darky Town” and at one time a leader among the colored brethren | died at his home in East Butler on | Sunday nfternoon. He had been suf- | fering with Bright's disease for some | time. He was 85 years of age. His | funeral was held fromthe A, M.

Probably the Globe could have some infinence with | the Republican Secretary of State, the Republican State Pteasurer and the Kepublican State Auditor along | that line, It might ry it and see | how well i will su¢ceed \with members | of {ts own party. It would look mighty good to see afew Democrats mixed around in those departments. | If the Globe is in favor of that sort of rejorm let it begin at home. | Chas. C. Hilton, the versatileeditor of the Appleton City Journal, prophe- sies that Dr. Chas. P, Bowden, of | that city, will be the next Republican nominee for Congress in the 6th Dis- trict. Dr. Bowden, while living at Johnstown, in this county, waschair- man of the Bates County Republican committee. After moving to Apple- ton he was made chairman of the Re- publican Judicial committee, and or- ganized the fight which resulted in Judge Graves’ defeat. The methods used in that campaign was hardly creditable to an aspirant for Con- gressional honors; but, no doubt, Hilton and his other boomers pro- j ceed on the theory that the results accomplished are what count in polit- ics and his nomination woula result in the same methods being used in the Congressional race. The boy who is always looking for fun and never thinking of sterner duties or more serious things is likely to continue on the lookout after he becomes a man.

Where ! allis pleasure, pleasure soon palls, and mleery follows as surely asnight | follows sunset.
