Philopolis, 9th Distribution the past two
weeks the crops in this section of the county have
suffered greatly for want of rain, and not until
Aug. 2Sth did it come, and the consequence is the
corn crop, which looked so promising about four
or five weeks ago, has been much deferred in fill
ing, and it is the opinion of some farmers that the
yield will be much less than that of last years.
prio fn fbar
became exceedingly dry and hard, hence several
OF our good farmers were compelled to quit plow-
ing for wheat, but now one can observe them
blowing with considerable case.
good Methodist friend informed me that he had
no cause to complain whatever, as he planted
three bushels and one peck and raised from seventy
to seventy five bushels of No. potatoes. So now,
judging from our friends yield, ore can form some
idea as to how others will be. We sincerely trust,
any way, that they will be as good if not better.
Since the different camp meetings have closed
and quite number of persons have returned from
various watering places to their quiet and pleas

every seemed to give their earnest attention
to the discourse delivered by Rev. Joel Brown, for
he gave his hearers the unvarnished truthes.

With reference to politics safely say we
as class Of voters not dead on that line, as
we manage to keep our eyes and ears both open
to the all important question before US, for well
know what protection to American industries
means, if we don't say much about it. Therefore
we as voters don't intend to swap horses if we can
| help it.
