Saturday evening to take action upon
the proposed issuing of bond for
$1,000 to take up another maturing in
October, was rather SHINY attended.
In view OF the fact, also, that the &C.
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
loss to account for the general in
difference manifested.
The railroad and warehouse com.
missioners are considering the mat
ter Of establishing grade for wheat
| to be known as No. 2 hard. This
grade of wheat will be of quality
| between No. hard and No. l north.
| ern. Under the present system of
grading it is stated that there is too
great difference of quality and price
between No. hard and No. l north
ern, defect which this new grade is
expected to remedy. Consequently
the establishment of a new grade is
asked for, believing that it will be
benefit to the farmers.
A private letter from DR.. Heenan,
at Odessa, Russia, says. "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 large
| army in Bessarabia, and are fortifying
| Batoum. They failed to reach Con.
stantinople by way of Adrianople.
This time they will essay it by way
of Trebizond."
