HOME HAPPENINGS.

Hay Rakes of all styles and price,
at Warner Bros, Blunt and Pierre.
Harvest will be at least two weeks
earlier in this section than it was last

provement.
-Ft Sully was inspected few days
ago by Major Hughes, Inspector Gen

Press force, was in town on final proof
business, Monday, and made us call.

simple and easily managed mower now
made, call at Warner Bros, Blunt and
Pierre, Oak. 8
A rousing old rain visited this
section on Tuesday afternoon, but was
accompanied by hail which did consid-
cradle damage to crops and gardens.
Considerable rain also fell during the
night.
An exchange says that SCOT and
ashes sprinkled over the vines will kill
potato bugs. The item comes from
weoaen country, but perhaps coal SCOT
and ashes will do the business just as
well. Who knows?
b. A. S. Tobias, of Clifton, met with
painful accident at Blunt last week.
While driving down tubing with
power well machine his left hand was
caught beneath the driving block and
badly mashed, which will lay him up
for some time besides being very pain
ful.
As we GO to press Friday morning
the rain bids fair to seriously interfere
with the observance of the 18th ut Cliff
ton, though preparations are making for
the glass ball shoot, and the game of
base ball and other sport may come off
IN the afternoon.
