There Is q bad outlook for all kinds
OF fruit. Apples, peaches, and cher
ries are almost failure. Pears will
be an ordinary crop. Ounces will be
good. The potato prospects are en-
couraging. Corn looks well. OF
wheat there will hardly be half
crop, but the yield of oats will be
large, while the hay crop will be
short.
Jere Grouse thinks OF introducing
the ball and chain system i'm Middle
burgh and try the experiment first on
his easy chair which nearly every day
takes the slip from his front porch and
walks off with Peck's Bad Boy, d. L.
Reitz,) to the Waffle House to get
pawned for the cigars. OF course Jer
ry redeems him (the chair and with
threats OF turning him into eternal
wood, extorts the most pro-
fuse promises of reform.
There will be n rush to get married
between this and the 1st OF October,
when the new marriage laws will go
into effect. The free and easy process

get a license, they would board n
train, visited our States and return
full fledged man and wife.

He reports very good success In the
three other adjoining counties and
we hope our people will not dampen
his ardor by manifesting lack of
interest In the work. Mr.. Muryhy is
a very pleasant gentleman-in fact
entirely out Of the order of the aver
age canvasser, and we hope he will
lind welcome over every threshold
IN the county.
