THE Carlinville Democrat" gives each
week nearly column OF personals, but
our old acquaintance ''S. w. Hail., Is

great deal of damage In this county, al
though, from the character OF the soil,
grain was ripper here than in Lewis and
Chehalis counties. In Lewis county most
of the farmers, who raise grain on large
