inches OF ram have fallen Ii two
months while the total average for the
entire year is about "a inches. The
storm belt extends over the States Of
Ohio, Kentucky. Indiana, Illinois,
Southern Iowa and Missouri. The
heavy rains began il May and extend
ed through June, with intervals Of
clear weather, but since the first of
July the rainfall has been almost III
cessant. The destruction has not been
as great as that caused by sudden in
undations, but the loss of growing
crops has been heavy. Throushout
the fertile bottoms of the Scioto, Mus
klngnm, and Miami valleys of Ohio,
aud the Wabash regions of Indiana,
the lands are entirely submerged, in
many places to the depth of several

pietely ruined, while the standing
corn has greatly suffered, and III MANY
places has been washed away. So
continuous have been the rains that
very little harvesting had been done.
so that the wheat crop is nearly a to-
tai loss. 1t IS impossible to make an
estimate of the amount of damage
done, Although the loss falls heavily
on the farmers of the inundated re-
gions, there is no reason to apprehend
serious scarcity of wheat or corr.
The supplyof the former viii undonbt-

DEAR JOURNAL:

DEAR JOURNAL:
The great maxim, Omitted we stand
divided We fall, j." is not too emphati
cally expressed, and is equally true
with regard to all organizations. The
farmer, who has hitherto been step
ping stone to business and professional
characters. has always stood in need
of something that would enable him to
cooperate with all those engaged in
agriculture. The merchants and mid
die men have the Chamber of Com
merce, whereby they are enabled to
combine themselves together and force
those with whom they have to deal to
accept of their terms, regardless of
circumstances. If men of all other
callings have right to combine them
selves together by the organization of
societies. surely the poor farmer, the
most numerically treated and the
most unthankfully rsmunerated of
Gods creatures, need not be viewed
as. traitorous because he asks to pro-

EkOHESON COUNTY,

A short visit to this county on

Hon. John 5. Ashe. then took the
stand, and in speech of great force,
delivered with an earneatuess and i'm
pressiveness of manner, urged upon
his hearers the absolute necessity
of constitutional rsform. His
position upon the finding

This whole speech was mastery and
convincing, and evidently had the
greatest effect upon the crowd.

hour fumed away much to the salts
