Thought it would not be amiss to write
few lines to you TO let you know how we are
doing in this part of the State. We have
had a great deal OF rain the last three weeks,
vet our grain is not as badly injured as We
thought it would be. The grain hat was cut
early and well shocked, and the farmers who
took pains to put the caps on when they We're
blown of, viii have fair quality OF wheat. IN
stacking is more than half done, and the
weather is fine. stacked the caps and out
side sheaves by themselves; by so doing think
will have two-thirds No. |.
think the people well pleased VITA the
Democratic Liberal Republican nominations,
with one exception. | have talked with quite
a number Of persons on the subject, and
think they made a great mistake il not nomin-
atine Mr.. Dixie for state Treasurer. | think
he is the right man for that office, and hops
the Anti Monopoly convention will nominate
him. We ;.reweil pleased with your valuable
paper, and hope we can get good club Tor !
In this vicinity this fail.
