ahead on the Santa Fe turnpike. He
has graded two or three miles, and will
have the whole road from Knob Creek
to Duck River ready for the gravel by

get gravel for the road from Knob
Creek and Duck River. 1t will be
splendid road, which is greatly needed.
Mr. Timmons deserves great credit for
taking hold of this enterprise when ey-

We have conversed with somt of our
oldest and best farmers on the subject
of wheat recently. and they report that
it is not much injured. Only the early

riOusly hurt, and even that has young
suckers coming out, which may produce
| nearly or quite as much wheat as il no
biting frost had come. Wheat that WAS
pastured and kept down, is not hurt.
| Red wheat is damaged; it had not long
| been sown, but it had run up suddenly
and was tender. A. b. Walker, OF the

wheat is badly hurt, If not ruined. JnO
