son to be thankful to a kind Providence for a
most bounteous harvest. Our rye is all cut,
and many; farmers throughout different por
lions of the County are cutting their wheat,

storms and ,,tornadoes which have: proved SO
destructive in other States and even in some
portions Of our own State. The grain is
standing erect ready for the sickle, and the
heads are we'll filed. Yesterday We saw sew.

dred grains, stearns County is bound to
prosper! -. .5.:.,.

up trying to hold political meetings in St.

their own party together to hold the candles.
