Vicinity Notes.

The oats crop north of town is said to exceed all previous years, and the grain being of exceptional good quality.—Morocco Courier. Kerlin, Son & Ryan shipped from their stock yards in Sedalia 800 head of hogs on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. This shipment, which perhaps is the largest shipment ever by a Carroll county firm, required ten cars.—Carroll Cor , ty Citizen. The town board has fully decided down : old arc lamps, with the except) •> of those around the square, and replace them with 50-candle-power incandescent lamps, thus making a saving in coal and carbons of abont $25 per month. Some of the material has been received for the change.— Oxford Tribune. About the most humorous thing we have seen is the attempt of the Lafayette Courier to bolster up Crumpacker’s cause by saying the fault-finding comes from papers of opposite politics, when, as a matter of fact, about all the endorsement Mr. Crumpacker is receiving for his vote on the Hawaiian question is from democrat and mugwump papers and democratic conventions.—Lowell Tribune.
