peek. This year during that time
learly $120,000,000 will be paid
n this city alone in dividends on
tocks and bonds of railroads and
ndustrial companies. The total
lisbursements throughout the
:ountry are estimated at $150, 00,000,
the largest in the history
if the United States.
January and July are the great
nonths for distributing earnings
if corporations, either in quarerly
or semi-annual dividends.
The January payments, however,
ire generally the heavier, as that
s a favorite time for maturing
>onds. The disbursements last
'anuary were approximately
1100,000,000, which was a larger
um than is usually paid out.

being the number of eortoratians

This community was blessed
j with a line rain on Wednesday jt
evening, which again gladdened s
the hearts of the farmers. L,
Crops are now on a hoom, and. I i
as expected, brought trouble lor ,|
the "bushy tails," lor, just at the j;
break of day Thursday morning,
could bo heard the sound of Doc's a
horn, and away over on the hillLj
could be heard the''kicking mule ?
man" in reply, and it was not n
long until the old fox hunters of .
Magill was heard, and, long before ((
the sun rose, such a chase I have ?
not heard before in many a day. ,r
I think the boys are running a
about 10 dogs ; but the old hunt j
