Randall Fuller, Esq, returned home from
Nab last evening,
A fellow too drunk to sit on his horse dis
mounted in haste in front of the United
States hotel last eve.
A. D. Denwe, Winnebago City, S. J. G.
Archert Burton, Fairm0nt, have taken up
quarters at the Barron house for the sum-
mer.
DR.. N. r. Hurd leaves the city the first of
the week for two weeks vacation. The doc
tor intends spending most of his time
around Milwaukee with friends.
Yesterday was the darkies' fourth of July.
A picnic was held by them in Owatonna, and
grand time is reported. We understand
Prof. Ben. Day delivered the Grafton.
The GLOBE has often spoken about that
old fence around the park and requested the
council to remove it, but at last, we are glad
to say, the old thing is falling to pieces and
cannot long remain public eye sore.
p. Dozer, of Richland, has $50 acres in
wheat, which he is harvesting alone. The
only help he has had at all was his wife. He
says he is afraid to employ these harvest
hands, SO he bought an Osborn self-binder
and finds it pays better than boarding q lot
of men and paying them $3 per day.
THE CROPS.
Farther observations of the wheat crop in
Rice county 60 to show that the average will
hardly come up to our former reports, as
many pieces that looked we'll before cutting
show light and scattering shocks. A trip Of

age of say fifteen or eighteen bushels, MANY
pieces going as high as twenty five or thirty,
but these are rare exceptions and upon the
best new lands.
Then, upon the other hand, our EAST
Prairie" county will fall far below the general
average, many pieces not worth harvesting
upon the low lands, and even the high lands
are spotted in many places.
The general verdict among the farmers in
Richland township is that if the general ay-
erage of the town exceeds ten or twelve
bushels they will be happily disappointed.
The quality of the berry will be good
enough, but not enough to the head. When
facts are facts and figures don't lie, the farm
ers of this State must wake up to the fact
that the more they turn their attention to
the raising of stock and diversifying their
crops the sooner they will get upon sure
footing and short road to prosperity. There
is too much grass and other good feed going
to waste and being burnt every year upon
our farms that would readily convert itself
into beef, mutton, wool and pork at tri-.
fling cost and . little dare. Let the motto
be "Less machinery and more stock and
in q few years we will see grand change
for the better.
81. NJ. Brownell has purchased the trottinp
horse Charley Taylor of Dwight Bushnell.
Of southiield. Charley is in fine fit, and will
be able this fall to make q race with some Of
the more pretentious trotters in these parts.
Mr.. Brownell has charge Of the track here,
and is determined to give the boys chance

A horse belonging to Mr.. Ciauson, Of the
county poor farm, became worried by flies,
yesterday afternoon, IN front of the opera
house, and layed down in the gutter, break
ing the carriage some.
This morning, about 8 o'clock, the market
wagon of Frank Glagin collided with
Brande's brewery delivery team. No one in
jured, but Glagin's wagon came out of the
affair with broken wheel, and other injur-
les.
