The Crops.

Last week we wrote of tho crops
in this region, speaking favorably Of
the wheat, oats, and grass crop.
These crops have been now largely
harvested, and while they are not
heavy, still .thoy are good. We also
then stated that if rain fell soon
in goodly quantity, wo should have
an abundant and excellent crop of
corn. but At this writing no rain has
como and no Indications Of any, and
tho corn is rolling up badly litis
already irrcdeemably isjared to- a
very considerable oxtent, and ia our
opinion ono week moro Of drought
will wipo out oil hope Of even, . toll
erable corn crop. But o single
shower, and that very limited in
quantity has fallen in Ottumwa and
vicinity for almost six weeks.
Nothing but brazen unpromising
sky wish its scorching, withoring
heat has shonc down upon us week
after week, and it has finally told
even on our rich alluvial soil, which
has such wonderful capacity to
withstand drought. Wo are in
formed that some of the northern
portions Of the county have been much
moro favored with rain, and Che
corn crop promises much bottor.

Three Supervisors.

The people of this county shou
bear in mind that at the election this
fall, We are to inaugurate the now
system Of county government, by
the election of three supervisors at
large, for the county, no two of
whom shall be residents Of the same
township. Tho republican county
convention which will nominate the
men who will be elected to fill these
places, convenes on the 9th of
August, and we think it very impor-
tant that excellent selections should
be made. Let the, people then bear
this matter in mind, and let those se-
lccted bo mon Of probity, ofexcellent
business qualifications and of intelli-
gence. We think this system of
county government good, if the peo.
pie SEQ to it that good men are
chosen.

Childhood happy childhood! VINO does
not remember the days of his early child
hood. How vivid are the recollections of
events that transpired in our youthful
days when our young hearts We're free
from life's cares, when we thought not once
of "what day may bring forth" but lived
on happy and unconscious of what life
had in store for us. How long twelve
month seemed to us then, while now they
seem to pass away SO quickly. But 1t was
then we thought as child, and spake as o
child, but now that we haye grown older
we suppose we must "put away childish
things" Even great men who have
fame, and have filled the highest seat Of
honor, have wished they were child once
Inore, that they might know gentle moth
cr's love, and hear mothers kind voice
speak tothem. Even the doomed man ON
the galiows, will tell us that once he was
an innocent child. What is more pure
than a little child. They know no sin,
and what is more they know no deceit
Vino ever heard of a little child being de-
.ceiiful. 1t Is from their lips we get the
truth. They will never deceive us. When
we look back upon our early childhood
and remember our childish sports, we feel
that those were our best days; those hap
py days that are SO bright in our meno-
ries. Alas! they are gone, forever gone.
and yet how fresh their memories STILL
But we viii be little children or we trust
we shall but not as earthly children, but
be as heovcniy children, for the savior says
unless we become as "iittle children" we
cannot enter into the Kingdom of heaven.
Oh may we be as little children indeed.
and then we will never grow old, nor we
will never say "when was a child'' bnt
