Oughly soaked up the ground. In some

heavy wind and resulted in blowing

The antimonops from several Of the
eastern counties met at Downs last
week and endorsed Uhl for Congress.
But we would suggest that Congressman

so small man or name. Lewis Han
back, Congressman looks and sounds
much better.

Senatorial convention, and helped put

Harvesting is about finished stacking
being the day Some threshing has
been done, but not enough to form q
very correct estimate of the yield, bat
1t is safe to say that fall wheat will Weld
from 20 to 40 bushels, spring wheat I5
to 30 bushels, and rye from % to 40
bushels per acre and oats rather light
but none threshed-ail good enough
Chas. Wiseman of Lawrence, special
agent of the Farm Department of the
Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance
Company, was in town last week and
appointed d. G.. Clark, of this place, as
agent of this county, and now those who

The Caldwell County Sentinel, pub
lished at Kingstown, Missouri, by c. G.
Higgins, former typo of the HERALD,
is five column quarto, newsy lively
Republican light in q benighted land
and we sincerely hope that Charley may
$50 let his light shine" that even the
bourbon stronghold may forsake the
evil of their ways and turn unto the
pure principles of the Grand Old Party,
and live.
Elsewhere in this impression will be
found the announcement of A. p. Neil
roy for County Attorney, subject to the
action of the Republican County Con
vention. McElroy is young man of
good abilities and unimpeachable char
acter, has had several years experience
as a lawyer and if selected, would fill
the Office faithfully and, we believe, &C
ceptably to the people,
Judge Spaulding has received his
new wheeled chair, and it is hoped by
its help he may be able to get about
town when the streets are not muddy.
If his spine is not too weak to use the
handles, which it is hoped will not be
the case, The Judge has been a great
sufferer for a long time, and much of
the time confined to the house and I'M
able to exercise, and anything that will
help him to get little comfort. out of
life will be a great blessing,
Go ahead: sacrifice your sheep; put
your money into cattle at high prices
and IN i've years or less sacrifice your
cattle and buy those sheep back at a
fancy figure. In other words, make a
serious mistake and have nobody but
yourself to blame for it. For Just as
surely as sheep men. or any considera-
BILE portion of them, abandon sheep and
go into cattle, thereby largely increasing
production of cattle and decreasing pro-
duction of sheep, just so surely viii the
the cattle business be depressed and the
sheep business take on corresponding
boom. So says the Texas Stockman.
In this issue of the HERALD will be
found the announcement of Frank Strain
for the Office of District Clerk. MIR.
