1T Is not true. as is beln

1t is not true, as is being re-
ported, that the wheat crop of this
county is extraordinarily good, and
that the acreage is unusually large.
The prospect is that the crop will
be about average, and the increased
acreage is about what is the case
each year. We know this from in
formation obtained direct from farm
ers and from personal observation.
The Hutchinson Enterprise
says that Gov. Pillsbury has given
general satisfaction, and is /" as good
a Governor as can be found although
tri1e superstitious." (D We sup
pose the editor of the Enterprise is
either a Darwinist, or Huxleyite,
without any superstition or common
sense about him.
The Hastings Gazette predicts
that, if Gen. r. w. Johnson is nom-
mated as an anti-bond candidate for
Governor this fall, he will "he will
sweep the State like a whirlwind."
Well, don't nominate him, then, for
we have had enough whirlwinds for
one season.

FAITH, HOPE,

The Nashua, N. H., Telegraph
tells the following wonderful story
of extensive grain raising in that
county. We give its own language,
viz:
Col. John B. Perkins of Hollisis now har-
vesting the largest field Of rye in southern
New Hampshire, if not in the State. 1t is
twenty-five acres in extent, stands six feet
high in many places and is very heavily
beaded. 1t is estimated to yield 80 bushels
per acre and the straw is supposed to
weigh so tons. The crop is on new land
and forty days were employed in plough
ing the field last autumn, and many other
days in sowing and narrowing. Visitors 60
a long distance to see the sight and the
Col. can congratulate himself on being able
to take the first premium at the State Socie-
ty's show this fall, besides putting money IN
his purse as clear profit from the venture.
A look at it proves New Hampshire need
not be abandoned as an agricultural field.
Certainly not. Bully for New
Hampshire Hurrah for Hillsbor-
ough county Only think Of 1t |!
Twenty-Five acres in one field It
took forty days to plough it, and
many other days to SOW and harrow
it ! 1t yields 80 bushels of grain and
1900 lbs. of straw per acre ! All
honor to Col. Perkins, who dared
make such an enormous venture.
Well have nothing more to say
about Minnesota wheat fields, which
seldom exceed $40 acres although
the Republican represents that this
county, comprising about 4S5,ooo
acres, is now one solid wheat field.
What happy man Perkins must be
with $50 bushels Of rye to sell.
What a fortune Why this county
only yields about 32,ooo,ooo bush:
els of wheat, besides other kinds OF
grain, hay, &c.

I'm common with other citizens of
Red Wing, we are always gratifed when
any one or more Of 'Four boys" attain
honorable and we'll merited distinction,
for we know this cannot be reached
without hard work, and close applica.
tion. Our attention has been called to
this, by a letter from correspondent of
the Milwaukee Sentinel, who writes in
glowing terms of the Commencement
Exercises of Ripon college. OF one Of
the members of the graduating class he
says:
Mr.. ". NJ. Lewis, of Red Wing,
Minn., grafton; subject, Literature and
Art in America" presented his thoughts
in the clear incisive style, so pleasing
and restful to a tired audience.
We also see by the local press Of
Ripon that Mr.. Lewis has made many
warm personal friends in that city, as
among his fellow students and the Fac
ulty of the college. In this we have a
common pride with others as we well
come back the student, with his piece of
parchment giving him the title of A. B.,
to the city and his home, with many
wishes for his prosperity and future
usefulness.
notwithstanding the fact that We
have been "fairly elected to supply the
people for 40 miles around with cheap
and desirable Boots and Shoes of all
kinds, yet attempts have been made to
have us "counted OUT In conse-
