C. Dunn. Mr. Dunn was one of the best and most favorably known
citizens of our place, haviug been
long engaged in the grocery business at Dunn's corner, on the railroad, and it can be said to his credit, that for whatever success he may have attained in his business life, he was greatly indebted to his fair dealing, bis pleasant manner aad great equanimity of temper. Mr. Dunn's social life was a pleasant one. He was twice married, and no man was ever blessed with two better companions the last one still surviving him. He has been in declining health for many years, but for several months past his weary frame and faltering steps, made it appear to bis many sympathizing friends, that his end was near. He died on the 30th of Sept., 1883, and was born April 14th, 1818, having moved from Oldham co., Ky., with his father to Bloom -ington, in 1825. Mr. Dunn was a a member of the Presbyterian church in this place for nearly fifty years, and died in the faith in which he lived. M.

Experiments have fully proved
that by going through a corn-field,
selecting the earliest ears just after they are thoroughly glazed, tying them up and banging in a room
where there is a fire until thoroughly dried, much better seed corn can be obtained than by permitting the
corn to ripen in the field, selecting
the best ears at husking-time and spreading them on the floor to dry. The early picked kiln dried corn
will come up earlier in the spring,
and the plants frqm such will be
more vigorous than the other. Farmers who were troubled by corn not coming up last spring should
bear this in mind.
