Good BY referring to tables on the ed
itorial page, under the heading Statistics"
it win be seen that the increased acreage
of land under cultivation, this year over
last, is II, 500 acres. The loss of nearly one
thousand acres in Framness is owing to
the fact that large quantity of the land is
being summer fallowed this season.
SAMPLE "A bunch of heads of wheat,
from the farm of Mr.. o. Seamans was left
on eur table yesterday, and the sample is
certainly an excellent one. Tho wheat is
new bearded variety known as the Aus
tralian, very similar in appearance to the
old long berried Tennessee" and is very
thrifty, heads well filed, averaging from
five to six inches in length.
GAME.-We have been making enquiry,
anxious enquiry, among residents of the
different sections of the county, in regard
TO the chicken crop, and the universal re-
port is, that this variety of game has suffer.
ed from the rains and the harvest will be a
small one. Water fowl have not been
drowned out. as yet, and there is proba-
bility of good average yield.
ANOTHER PARK.-As our town is so
plated that the streets run parallel with
the railroad track, and as the residences in
upper town are on section lines, running
due north and south, there is Y shaped
strip of ground between the addition and

ers in that locality are contemplating pur-
chasing for park purposes. The enterprise
is a laudable one, and we certainly hope it
will be successful.
No Cot does worry some of the bruis'
ers and DULLES to find that our citiZent not
only sustain but also assist in keeping the
peace. AS We remarked on several previ'
Gus occasions, this is well governed town
and there is not one actual resident but will
willingly and cheerfully lend strong
hand to maintain law and order Sc
