The thrashing machines are very busy in
this county getting out the recent wheat
crop. We hear the best reports everywhere.
All have big yields. w. F. Baker, of Pike
township, raised twenty acres, off of which
he got 61O bushels of wheat, an average of
over thirty bushels to the acre on the whole
piece. Abram Studebaker had eight acres
off of which he thrashed $50 bushels of
grain, an average of over thirty-two bushels
TO the acre. Wonder what our Eastern
friends think of these figures? So far as
We can learn the above figures are not higher
than the average of others.

The election for Delegate to the State
onvention came off in this District on
Monday last, and resulted in the choice of
L. D. Odell, Esq, one of the best men in
the District for such an important trust.
In Pike township the vote stood for Odell,
90; Scattering, 9. We have not the exact
figures in this township. nor do we care to
have them. Figures, in this instance, are
disgusting, to US, at least. The vote scat
tered here little more than it did up above,
but not enough to hurt Mr.. odell in the
least. We could have wished the vote had
scattered little more, but we have the con-
ISOLATION of knowing it didn't. Vox populi

Our town is about "dried up Since
the boys left, it is rarity to see man.
The other day we went down Commercial
street in business hours, and every door on
the west side of the street was locked. 1t
was during business hours, but there was
no business. What change! The once
busy, busting town is as lonesome as a
deserted village" It's war times, and
we are now realizing it.
