The announcement of RITNER SMITH
as q candidate for reelection to the Of
fee of Register of Deeds subject to the
action of the Republican convention,
will be found elsewhere in this impress
sion. We do not hesitate to say that we
have abididing faith in Ritner; that he
has made the best officer that has so far
filled the position, and that he ought to
receive the unanimous support Of the
people for the second term in the office
he has so carefully and obligingly filed
for the last two years,
Nelson Burst of Phillipsburg town
ship has 10 acres of ground on which he
has sown wheat for four years sowing,
the same wheat each year. In 80 when
wheat was almost an entire failure
through the county he had so bushels, in
'81, q bad year, he threshed about $50
bushels; in '82, $50 bushels, and this
year it yielded 293 bushels. The wheat
is Red May fall and of good quality, and
rather upsets the theory entertained by
many that wheat cannot be grown con
secutivelyon the same land when handled
properly. Mr.. B. has splendid corn and
seems happy for this years farming OPP
erations.
Don't you forget ia good load of
wood would make the editor happy just
now.
We rather overestimated the extent
of damage done by the hail storm Of the
14th, but the storm of Friday evened it
up. Still there are many good fields of
corn in what seemed to be the storm
belt. The loss from both storms will
probably amount to about ten per cent.
on corn, which if equally distributed
would not be felt, but as it is, those who
were in the localities where it was most
severe lose all, while 20 per cent. es-
cape entirely and the balance were more
or less injured. AS it is there win be
more corn than can be used without a
large importation of stock or heavy
shipments. More cOrn-cribs will be the
general order of the day.
The announcement of D. L. SMITH for
reelection will be found in this impress
sion. ''Dan" was one of the very first
settlers of Long Island townshid and
has lived on the same quarter-section
from 10 to 'S2 working on his farm or
at the carpenters bench. In 81 he was
elected Treasurer when he Immediately
moved to Phillipsburg for the purpose
of making himself familiar with the de-
tails of his office, and brought to the
performance of its duties the same good
Judgment, energy and honesty that has
