Remington Press: The Farmers’ Institute, held in this city last Friday and Saturday, was almost, a total failure. The attendance was very small indeed. One reason for this was that nearly all of the farmers were bnsy, and another was the short notice given. Bnt few in this vicinity knew anything about it until the last minnte, almost. The time for holding these institutes should be made later in the season, when people will have the time to attend and should be talked up and advertised -<• that they may know when and where it is to be.

Cnrcybg^BsffGxnryfogE: — A gentleman from near Rose Lawn who was getting some sale bills printed remarked that it was almost a matter of difficulty to give away a narrow tire wagon in the northern regions any more, so greatly superior have the broad tires been found to be for hauling over marshy and sandy places where narrow tires would hold up little more than their own weight. It is quite a common idea, however, that in muddy localities the broad tires take up too much mud and are therefore hard to pull but it is our opinion that if everyone used the broad tires there would not be nearly so much mud for them to take up, as they would pack the roads solid, instead of cutting them up into mud beds, as the narrow tires do.

The only really remarkable thing in this matter is the fact that the capture of a ’possum should excite wonder in any part of Jasper county, where the kink-tailed little marsup Uls are “thicker than autumn leaves in Vallambroea,” as attest B. S. Fendig, the Rensselaer game and fur dealer, who bought 8 or 9 of them last Saturday and that “wasn’t a very good day for possums’' either, as he sometimes buys as many as 20 in a day
