It is popularly supposed that
Kansas has more storms than any
other state and that Nebraska and
other Western States are not much behind in this respect. The facts,' however, as is often the case, show that popular opinion is wrong and that the Southern States are really the most subject to storms. The Signal Service Office report shows that in the year 1884 there were 38 storms in Georgia ; 22 in South Carolina: 18 in Alabama: 12 in
North Carolina: 12 in Louisiaua
and ' the same number in Kansas,
Nebraska had only three, Indiana
four, several States but two and
Indian Territory the lowest, but one.

Little Johnny Fizzletop has
the habit of waking up every night

"Look here Johnny, L never

"Well, I don't tnink I'd care
much to eat anything either in tbe night, if I kept all my teeth in a mug of water."

The crop prospects and the general business outlook throughout the South are reported to be most favorable. Politics are not
cutting much of a figure south of
Mason and Dixon's line at present, except perhaps in Virginia, and the people are following Col. Ingersoll's advice in regard to raising more
cotton and less sheol. The L. N. A. & C. will soon change the running of its trains. The local passenger between Crawfordsville and Mitchell, which has not been a financial success, will be discontinued and tbe through trains
will take care of all the business.
This will not necessitate the length
ening of the time, as the fast trains
between Chicago and Louisville now make tbe run easily and are often ahead of time.
