LEROY ITEMS.

tip to Tuesday evening last harvest
Ing was provrrS:;iu" finely, but we fear
the heavy rains OF that evening will
hinder operations very much. We
have not heard up to TINS time Of any
particular damage being done, yet the
grain will not be improved any. We
are satisfied the "bliyht scare was over
estimated. We cannot see it in any
other light than BIG crop, and from
present indications good prices for
wheat.
ADJUSTMENTS seem to be plenty
Magic Lantern entertainments, Swiss
EcllRingcr's performances and Circus.
We suppose they were all good Of their
kind as they were we'll ratronizcd by
the public hero, and VIC do not hear Of
any one finding any particular fault with
any of them.
Business of all kinds seems to be
very quiet. Merchants have plenty Of
time to look over stocks and make up
their minds what they want for fall
trade. Lumber dealers can lie in the
shade these hot days, and the Agricul-
tural Machinery men look on their
books and decide how much they have
made during the season: all of which is
very comfortable when the thermom-
cter stands 80 to IS in the shade.
We learn that w. A. ellison, Of the
firm of Corbitt & ellison, leaves on
Monday next for New York and Boston
for the purchase of their fall stock
Mr.. G.. informcs us that he int ends
buying largely.
II. II. Coleman Of 1r:, Coleman &
Co., also starts in day or two for the
same market and if his purchase this
fall exceeds il, the same ratio the bust
ness Of LAST season as comparing with
this year, his purchase will be very
large.
Wentworth Hayes has just put the
finishing touches on his store. He has
secured the services of competent
purchasing agent in the Eastern mar
kct who will buy for him his stock in
Now York or Boston. Next week will
witness regular stampede of mcr-
chants from here for Eastern mar
kets.
We find this week that items Of news
are scarce. We have no sidewalks to
make an excitement over, and as we are
pcaccable people, we get along ami
cably.
We are frequently asked " WHO'S the
Lady's man Of the town 2" Can any Of
our readers answer?

The Hot Season.

The Hot Season.
Sorcerers predicted that after the
eclipse, the sun would never shine
again with his accustomed brilliancv
and fervor.
If the prediction is true, there must be
some new arrangement for dispensing
heat, for it is ten times hotter than be-
fore. Monday and Tuesday, Mercury
boiled in the shade, ordinary dwellings
became like ovens, woolens fell in the
market and also from the backs of those
who had found them comfortable for
nine months, while linen coats and low
necAcd dresses usurpcd the domain of
fashion and became the principal articles
Of apparel.
But we have no compla ints to file
against the Clerk of the weather. lie
has done more for us than We deserved
lie has given US seed time, a glorious
harvest and 4 time to gather it
and now is supplementing his goodness
with these yellow days Of approaching
autumn, when the corn ripens in the
ear, and the farmer rejoices over the
fruits of his labor.

thinking about our county matters, and
the lato ''splendid movement by them
at the county seat has done more to con-

termination to push out Of office, the

ions, or because he is opposed to them,
just in the same ratio that they persc-
cute, will Mr. Page make friends. l

is right, and l must confess that the

lance.
The Scripture injunction is to for.
yive-not before repentance, but after.
This is the law. In practice We apply
it thusly.
When the first signs of repentance
begin to appear, then the first assurance
of forgiveness should be made. The
Reform Fathers hare begun to retorma!'
Let the glad tidings be spread abroad
throughout the length and breadth Of
the city. Let the people rejoice and be
glad. Yea let mercy, compassion and
forgiveness be exercised toward the
crring and let the multitude of their
sins be forgotten (if they don't back
slide.)
plunged in gulf Of dark despair"
has been the doleful song of the people
for the last three months and now that
the horizon is skirted with the least
shimmering rays of light and hope,
every heart should leap with gladness.
1t seems that the reign Of our Re-
form Fathers has been very much like
the practice Of Medicine-a series of
doubtful experiments. They tried
license and then no license, they tried
prohibition and then whisky, they
tore up sidewalks anc then put them
down. More recently they invested in
a second class riot for a change and
took stock in a weeks lawsuit run by
an embecile court at SIS per day, net
expenses to the town. In all these en-
terprises the poor Board lost heavily
They went in without counting the costs
or stopping to consider where they
would come out. Their advisers want
cd money and by getting them into
trouble they could secure it.
This was sharp practice on the part
of the advisers but death to the board
The people saw the game, felt in their
pockets and found their money slipping
away rapidly to pay tho bill for these
experiments. They went in a dignifcd
body to the council, and in the name of
the people demanded that they "reverse
steam"
The Mayor thought the pressure was
getting too heavy, and "reversed." He
also advised his brethren to ':reversc."
Some were in favor-some against
The great reformer refused to reverse !"
During the parleying the fire got down,
the pressure diminished, the steam
condensed in the boiler, and the head
long speed of the Reform train was
greatly diminished with the following
substantial result
The board procured l:.mber and put
in good crossing at the entrance of
Mcssrs Page T. Whecler's stable, at the
precise spot and in the manner deman-
ded by them at first. This was what
the law required, nothing more-noth-
ing lcss-and if it had been done at
first. thousands of dollars night have
been saved to the town, besides the dis
crat full riot which resulted from an
attempt to override law, justice and
common sense in their mad career to
=ratify spite.
But these signs Of repentance We note
with becoming seriousness, and chron-
iclc the first sensible act Of Reform
board as Il harbinger Of peace and bet
ter days in Austin.
