Benton Review: James Finley has had on exhibition during the past few days samples of the yellow corn which is being imported from Argentine in large quantities. The ears <are small and resemble corn grown on clay land. The kernals are very short, with width equalling the depth, and the grain is very hard, being almost flint-like. Monticello seems to be a pretty wet town for a “dry” one, judging from the arrests made there for boot-legging and running blind tigers. James C. Mitchell was arrested there Tuesday on a boot-legging' charge and bound over to court, and ’ only recently an alleged blind tiger' resort was raided and a dray load' of intqxicants found. The Monticello Journal states that District Chairman W. O. Thomas of that city is being “urged by his friends” to become a candidate for! the republican nomination for con-j gress from this district, and states that ex-Congressman Crumpacker,! Hon. Will R. Wood of Lafayette, Dr J Smith of Gary, and Judge Hanley of Rensselaer are also being talked of for the nomination.
