Notwithstanding the fact that no

activity prevails in building circles and
very few unemployed men are upon
the streets. In every part Of the city
improvements are constantly being
made and our local mechanics, while
not exactly drove" have ample EN-
ployment. And in this connection we
would urge all having work to let, to
give it to home mechanics in prefer
|ence to the off scourings of the larger
cities who infest this place every year.
Patronize the tax payers of your own

DDITOR TELEGRAPH:- Our farmers
fare nearly all done haying, and have
secured the crop in fine condition. The
quantity will be some less than last
year but the quality much better.
Barley, OF which not much was grown,
has been harvested in good condition.
The quality is better than for some
years past. We are now in the midst
Of our eat harvest. + While the growth
of straw is not as great as it was two
years ago, | think the quality Of the
grain will be equally as good Very
little wheat was sowng and it has been
injured considerably byrust and chinch
bugs; still there are some pieces that
look quite promising. Flax is our
main dependence for a market crop.
A large acreage was soWn and it is
nearly ready for the reaper and prom
ises good yield. a%4@
Much sympathy is expressed for the
family of Martin Thomas in their Sc
we're affection. They have been pecu-
liarly unfortunate in the loss of their
children, having buried three in about
four years. The death OF their Oldest
son was attended by circumstances
particularly affecting. Taken sick
while here at his uncIe's, while his
mother was dangerously Ill at their
home in Kenosha, neither of 4his pa
rents had the privilege of attending
him ON his death-bed, or being present
at his funeral. Yet they have the sat
isfaction Of knowing that kind friends
did all that could be done TO alleviate
his sllfferings during his last sickness.
