While with many a fqirly good oats crop
and an abundance Of hay are relied upon to
carry their stock through, there are not a
few whose principal if not sole, crop is corn.
1t is feared that great hardships will result
from the uneXpected-almost unprecedent-
ed-shortage in corn. Added to this un-
fortunate condition of affairs, is the fact
that wheat yielded very poorly this season,
in many cases scarcely more than in 1889.

Obituary..

The subject of this sketch was the infant
son Of Lee and Mary P. Collins, aged four
teen months, who died on the 18th inst,
aftea sayefal days. illness, during which time
the fond parents watched over little Winford
many anxious hours. But his disease baf-
fled all their efforts and the aid of the ply
stefan, and God sent his grim messenger to
sever the tender cord that bound their dar-
ling to this earth. But while they mourn
his loss they can rejoice in the thought of
meeting him on that Gelestial shove where
SORROW never enters. Whatever may be
their lot in this unfriendly world, his is
eternal bliss.
Little darling, thou art gone
Oyer the Jordan of death;
Angels have borne thy spirit home,
To the mansions Of the blast.
A FRIEND.
