Krutz, of Augusta, and q maiden sister
were drowned Wednesday while bath
ing in the Walnut. We also learn

S. Z. Essex, living five miles south
east of town brought to our office a
sheaf of wheat that we defy any one to

The berry is large and plump, and our
best judges of wheat say it cannot be
beaten anywhere. Call and look at it
for yourselves at this office.-Eidorado
Times.
