Tho lollowiug item from a Pittsburg newspaper is interesting to all concerned: "The Pittsburg Automobile Club, to ge'ber with hundreds of other autnjsts in Pitutburg, got a severe set-back recently. It was announced that several wealthy farmers of tho country districts, annoyed by the fast-flying antes, had resurrected an old Slate law of years ago, in which it is plainly staled that the occupants ol ve hicles not drawn by horses, mules or ox en, sba 1, in traversing country roads, have a guard on horseback go ahead at least 200 yards to give warning to nil tiavelers, and that any vehicle not drawn by horses, mules or oxen shall stop dead within 300 yards of any other vehicle and allow it to pass. The law, long since for gotten, was passed years ago by farmers to guard against accidents by horses tak ing fright at steam threshers, etc." Joshua Anthony, for the past four years an inmate of the County Home, died on Saturday, aged 88 years.

The freeze up in tt.e creek is causing no little trouble to the Nebraska I tin her linn, which has a number of boats and barges frozen solidly in the ice. These craft hnve been ready for the run to the lower iriarki t for some time, and were awaiting the usual fall rise in the creek and river, which up to this time has failed to materialize, in consequence of which there is dangor that considerable damage and loss will be sustained by the owners when the briak-up comes. Prep arations are making to take care of the stuff as well as possible under tho cir cumstances by taking out the "loading," thus making it easier to hold the boats when the ice moves out. For some time past tho scientific cul tivation of the potato, i. e., tho selection ol' the best and most fecund varieties for seid, has been in progress in Great Brit ain, anil this year the experiment has been ai tended with Uglily successful re sults.

One farmer who planted 12 pounds of seed ol a special variety baa gathered in a crop of over 750 pounds. Investigotions are now being carried out tn obtain a "disease-proof" potato, as the predominance of diseaso wreaks consid erable havoc among the crops, and is re sponsible for a heavy percentage of waste.
