“BRAIN FOOD NONSENSE.”

Morocco Courier; Fish are considered brain food, are they not? And there are plenty of fish in the Kankakee river, eh? And the Kankakee river isn’t far from Wheatfield, huh? And the Wheatfield Telephone man would naturally be feasting on fish “those” Jays, aint it? Well, then, you can probably understand how he happened to withstand the cruel mental strain that must have accompanied the following production: “If a certain pin-headed, almond-eyed, hooked-nosed, posy-mouth, lanttrn-jaw-ed, bow-legged, web-footed, liver-coni-plexioned galoot of this city doesn't quit shooting off his bazoo about this paper we’ll take a fall out of him. And what we will do is a plenty.’’

DAMAGING FROSTS.

PQuite a heavy frost fell last Friday night, but not much damage was done except in some of the lower places in the north part of the county. Saturday night a much more disastrous Jfrost came, and practically all the late corn on the lower ground is killed, but the higher ground is not hurt so badly. ./There was a great deal of late planted corn in this county that needed all this month to mature, and most of this is gone. In the Gifford district, what corn they had is said to be almost totally ruined. It is quite likely that with the floods and wet weather earlier in the season, not more than one-half the corn will be raised in Jasper county this season that was raised last year.
