Saturday evening to take action upon
the proposed issuing of a bond for
$1,000 to take up another maturing in
October, was rather slimly attended.
In view OF the fact, also, that the oc-
casion was an adjournment besides of
the regular annual meeting, and the
reports of the clerk and treasurer, in
volving the expenditure Of upwards
of $4,000, were presented, we are at
a loss to account for the general in
difference manifested.
The railroad and warehouse com.
missioners are considering the mat
ter of establishing a grade for wheat
to be known as No. hard. This
grade of wheat will be of a quality
between No. hard and No. l north
ern. Under the present system of
grading it is stated that there is too
great a difference of quality and price
between No. hard and No. l north
ern, a defect which this new grade is
expected to remedy. Consequently
the establishment of a new grade is
asked for, believing that it will be a
benefit to the farmers.
A private letter from DIR. Heenan,
at Odessa, Russia, says: s.There is
trouble brewing over here. The city
is being strongly fortifi ed and heavy
guns are being placed all along the
coast line. Troops are going and
coming constantly, and in military
and naval circles the greatest activity
prevails. =
The Russians have a large
army in Bessarabia,an are fortifying
Batoum. They failed to reach Con-
stantinople by way of Adrianople.
This time they will essay it by way
Of Trebizond."
