incessant rains have had damaging
effect. 1t has been the longest harves
time ever known, and even now tn,
grain is not all in stack. There ha,
been no grass cut, and should there b,
an early frost the crop OF hay will b,
deficient Threshing has commenced
in earnest and is showing about three
fourths at an average crop.
The condition of the roads is sucl
that hauling load to market is out o
the question, and should the rain con
tinue two days in a week as it has 70,
two weeks, they cannot improve. Tn,
corn crop looks promising. The farm
ers do not feel the necessity Of market
ing their grain rs our merchants do
who, having done heavy trade, prin
cipally on credit, are unable to collect
HISTORY OF rAMA COUNTY.
Your correspondent aud the edito,
has pointed out the errors of Mr.. Rice
in the history of the south part Of tn,
county. In relation to the north h,
has been as unfortunate. He wa.
here three days, collecting a mass o.
statistics from our residents; was
very minute in his enquiries, and
promised them faithful history
Alas! he must have lost them, and
wrote from memory and Tama City;

news to us that we live in Perry, that
we have town in our midst called
Bovina. He has been equally untor
tunate in names. There was no James
Wood or David Cornell among the
earley settlers here. but Joshua G.
Wood and Joseph Cornell did their
work well. Joseph Cornell died Sept.
1854. Wo are glad to learn we num-
Der flour hundred New Englanders
and Scot" wish he could prove it. The
pretended exhibit of our business is an
insult. Our "large and commod,ous
School building is not yet built, but
will be in 1870; also our Hotel. The
old one was crc,litablc to us in 1856.
There are two Sabbath Schools here,
each with an average attendance OF
1875, and ono (Presbyterian) two miles
distant of the same number.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
Speaking of Sunday Schools reminds
me that the S. S. County Convention
holds its semi-annual session here on
the 2Sth inst. As yet we have seen
no call for it through the papers from
the Secretary. The citizens here will
warmly welcome all who attend the
convention, and thus compensate for
lack of public accommodation. The
S. S. will have picnic on the 18th.
THE TICKET
gives satisfaction. The north Obtain.
cd all it asked tor. in the nom,na-
ton Of Mr.. Dysart and Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Dysart came to Iowa in 1856, set
Ting in Vinton. Benton county was
democratic strongly. To secure a
change, Mr.. Dysart with Col. Shane,
Tom. ,Drummond, Capt. Shut and
DR.. Traer, organized the Republicans
of the county. They visited every
school district repeatedly, and carried
the county. That system was kept up
until the democracy was utterly rout.
cd. In no county in the State are
they so disheartened and dcmoralizcd,
to-day, thanks to Mr.. Dysart. He was
County Superintendent for number
Of years, and on the resignation oil
Tom. Drummond, of his seat in the
Senate, Mr.. Dysart was elected for
two years, defeating DR.. Tracr, who
At that time was found in bad GONNA.
ny. Mr.. Dysart, some years ago, in.
vested in land in Clark, and about six
years since, removed to it. He is q
lawyer by profession, but now farm.

acres, nearly all under high cultiva.
ton. He is fifty years old, and Of
Irish decent. Your readers all know
Mr.. Wilson. He is . farmer, thirty.
SIX years old and Of Scotch nativity.

eigners. Tama county will be strong.
