Cur community is very much exercised
over the where aboutS and the welfare

and suggestions about the dear brother,
who has vanished from the public eye,

weeks since. Was the effort that he

make an inquiry he could have satisfied
himself that Cruikshank 5 has q host of

can thus perceive that with such person

THE HARVEST.
The yield of wheat III our county is
excellent. The general opinion is that
there have never been as many bushels
raised in any single year before. Quite
II number of our farmers have taken
new departure, and are using self bind
ing machines. Some are reported as
working very well, Others not SO well.
and some not at all. Their introduction
has called forth 4 heap of patience fl ON
some of the parties who have used them;
and upon the other hand have produced
a great deal OF impalience with others.
One man was so put out with his ma

satisfaction it seems. In the near future
the impression seems to be that the self
binder will be the only machine in use,
it will supersede the self rake, as the self
rake has superseded the hand rake, and
the hand rake superseded the Old time
cradle and as the old time cradle has SUI
persedcd still the olden time sickle.
AN ACCIDENT.
Mr.. ]. L. Ferguson, our register of
voters while aiighting from his carriage
in the town of Cccilton, one day last
week. slipped and fell upon his wrist and
as he supposed, sprained 1t badly. As it
gave him so much pain he sought medi-
cal assistance. and what lie supposed to
be Il bad sprain at first. proved to be
fracture OF one of the bones of his right
arm This will iucommode him serious
ly, as in few days he expected to COM
mcnce his sittings as register.
STILL ANOTHER.

by having his hip dislocated by falling
from load of hay. Knowing his many
friends i'll the county, would like to know
