Mr.. Chivington says the growing wheat
in Attica township never looked better at
this time OF year. One thing he says Is Ger.
tain in the west part of the county, and that
is wheat crop every time it Is put into the
ground :. There is now In the principal
markets Of this country 90, OO0, 900 bushels
OF wheat; 1900, 00Oin Chicago, alone. Yes.
ierday at O'Clock No. 2 wheat was selling
in Chicago for IS centr. II there Is not
change In the situation in the next 90 days,
farmers in this State must expect low prices
for wheat-about 60 to 20 cents. In the
meantime do not injure your wheat next
harvest by harvesting with header. 1t is

$4,000 to $4,000 on the wheat sold In this
market during the last nine months on ac-
count Of the header. Judge Torrance, Of
the thirteenth judicial district, was in Wich-

he appeared on the streets he was surround

Torrance is regarded by the people Of this
county as man who honors the position
which he fills. Few men could, in the short
time, he occupied the bench in this district,
have made so favorable an impression. A
wise judge and an honest man is the way
Judge Torrance stands in this community.

-. 1t has become customary of late to de-
fer the commencement Of performances at
the opera house until the reserved seats are
occupied, and in consequence there is no
certainty as to when the performance will
begin, but are growing later and later. II
