Dozens of divorces haye been granted in Lapoite county on the grounds that the husband is an habitual drunkard. This, however, may be changed by a recent decision of iho supreme court, which, in rendering a decision in a divorce case, said : “You voluntarily chose n drunkard for a husband, and you should discharge the duties of a drunkard’s wife. His failure to keep a pledge of reformation, made la fore marriage, does not justify you in deserting him. Halving knowingly married a drunkard, you must make yourself content with the sacred relationship.” The Iowa supreme court has also decided that a divorce cannot be granted to a wife because of drunkenness of her husband, if she knew of his drinking habit before mar-
riage.—A’.c.
A Kirk from WanliiiigGm Township. To the Editor of tin* Banner Tlmee: We notice that the prize offered at the old settlers’ picnic at F'ern to the oldest inhabitant of Putnam county present, was captured by Mr. Ford, of Greeneastle. While we have no objection to Mr. Ford getting the prize we think it should have gone to Mr. Jacob C. Rogers, of north Washington township. Mr. Rogers was born two miles south of Portland Mills, Putnam county, March 14, 1822, making him 73 years, 4 months old. He never had his home outside of Putnam county and says he expects tn die in good old Putnam. Mr. Rogers was at the celebrated picnic in person. Wash.
PECULIAR PHOENOMENA. Ah A ppl<* Tre** in Hus City Bearing Three Growths of Fruit. In Elder Frank’s yard may be sei*n a small apple tree bearing three distinct growths of fruit. The first growth appeared at the usual time in the spring and about a month later another growtli of bloom and fruit appeared, and now the third growth of bloom and fruit is appearing. The tree was brought from the nursery this spring. Several botanists have been consulted with reference to this phoenomena hut none have been able to offer an explanation. In a few weeks the first growth of fruit will be ripe and fruit in nearly every stage of development is expected to be on the tree. This peculiar growth on fruit trees has never been noticed here before and is attracting considerable attention. This is a great fruit season and we conti dently expect great things before the crop is all harvested, but up to the present writing Elder Frank’s tree is entitled to the belt for genuine hustling.

democrats carry the legislature, because of his personal popularity, re-
gardless of the silver question. To take in the full significance of the last it must he remembered that a few weeks ago these same administration demo-
crats were shouting “anybody to beat
Blackburn.” They do not love Blackburn now any more than they did then, but they fear republican success in Kentucky more. Secretary Carlisle wished to have his name presented to
