Mr.. A. B. Fox Of Louisville, pro-

season.
A Newspaper man al the way from

One of Mr.. strohm's little girls met
with quite . painful accident last
Tuesday, having dislocated her arm
while at play in the barn, d.. Hall
set the limb and the little sufferer Is
doing as well as could be expected.
After another week has elapsed
during which time We have made ex-
~tensive inquiries among farmers from
| all parts of the county, We have to
reiterate what we said last week, viz:
That while some fields Of wheat were
entirely destroyed by the chintz-buss
the aggregate yield in the county. will
lbe greater than last year. Corn will
klso be a fair crop, taking the county
. whole.
"wednesday Of last week little Char
lek Kaley. Chris. Zeiss and Fred Lutz

Wedso1y of last week wa a ter
lribly hot 6Se the mercury went up
Ito a hundfeSAnd eight degrees in the
shade, andtA6 wind from the south
vas hot enough to almost blister the
face and hands ef those unaccustomed
to being much IL the sun. The wind
caused the corn Hades TO roll mp and
made the grass, BOX, in places, as
though it had bsep scared by fire.
We hope We my Ut be again treated

; We are sorry to say that . few
! though . very few, farmers OF tni
county have determined on leavinl
their farms and returning to the eas
5 and to rented lands. This Ia undoubs
edly the most foolish move they coul'
possibly make. The crops in Nebraa
b the present season are As good q
Ethsse Of any etate east Of here tina
Ne have heard from. and for . ma
who owns : hrm in Nebraska to s
least and rent land certainly seem
foolish. Those who stick to thi
country are the ones who will com
ont alsad ID The end.
