The Journal Leon, Iowa May 22, 1883 Corn is not coming up very well in this part of the country. How is it elsewhere? While the prospect for corn is so gloomy the dog market is taking a boom.

The Comstock School, noted for its peaceful, quiet and entertaining exhibitions, is being taught by A.L. BROWN. We understand he is having good success. Mr. BROWN is a pupil of Prof. Taylor's, of Murray, which is a sufficient guarantee of success, as Mr. Taylor never sends out a poor teacher.
