THE TOBACCO CRoP.-Probably no
crop will be effected by the drOuth more
severely than tobacco. During the last
six weeks but little rain has fallen in
Southwestern Wisconsin, and unless an
abundance of it falls soon the crop in
this section will not reach one-third of
that of a year ago. In many places
much of the tobacco is dying under the
parching influence of the heat of the last

just the place TO migrate to- The tenn

his county possesses many advantages
over this one. We are glad he is so well
pleased with his new home.

BETTER Than GoLD.-This drama
was presented to the Lancaster public
last Thursday night by number of
Lancaster amateurs. The character of
Peter Perchant, the old lawyer, was ex-
cellently filled by Charley Burr, who,
in the love-making scenes, reminded us
of Roland Reed. Miss Fannie Schmitt
rs Jennie Joy also did particularly well.
Fred Burr as Gilbert Murdoch, George
Baxter as Richard Gordon, Cora Street
er as Mrs. Garfield, Bessie Calls as
ANNE Garfield and Hattie Hyde rs
Belle Gordon, filled their parts in a very
creditable manner, although those parts
themselves were not so we'll adapted to
bring out the talents of the players as
might have been done with stronger
play. Art Knapp was well gotten up
as Asa. the old cp!ored servant. The
play seems To be Il dali one, and that
our Lancaster amateurs were able to
make II interesting to the audience
speaks well fer their dramatic ability.
Between the acts Julian Bellows gave
the audience that eXtravagant adver-
tisement, How Ruby Played" dis
playing considerable declamatory talent
for his age. Mrs. Blocher, also between
acts. rendered two pieces which were
very good, judged by the standard of
elOcutionists.

ham is man of pleasant address and Il
good speaker. He made many friends
throughout this county. who will learn
of the honor conferred upon him with
satisfaction. As there are likely to be a
zee votes in the way between his nomin-
alton and election, we will refrain from
using the Lieutenant Governor yet
awhile. On the informal ballot for Gov
ernor he had the highest number OF
votes. The honor was afterward carried

a New INSTRUMENT. Interested per-
sons have been circulating petition
during the last week to buy new cornet
for the Lancaster Harmonic Band. The
boys, it will be remembered while at the
Mineral Point reunion last month,
had their Ed cornet stolen, and this
movement is to buy new instrument
to replace that. They have one on trial
which costs S42 80 toward which S25
has been pledged. As our citizens are
public spirited and are interested in the
welfare of the band. the balance will
undoubtedly soon be forthcoming.

LiYingStOu--Burr,

AT nigh noon last Thursday the house
I of Mrs. Addison Burr was thrown open
to a large number of guests, invited to
witness pleasant and important cere-
mOny. Those who were fortunate
enough to be included among the num-
Der of relatives (whose name is legion)
or among the more intimate friends,
pronounce the wedding a delightful
affair. The only unpleasant feature
of the occasion was the fact suggested
by one of the guests. that by the mystic
rite performed, a Burr to whom we
are all much attached, was changed
into Living stone to be quickly rolled
away from us.
The rooms were brilliant with flowers
and the air was sweet with their frag-
rance. In the parlor, suspended from
the ceiling in one corner, hung an UNI
| brella made of white flowers, whose
! heaviness and, richness was softened by
the airy lightness of the phantom flower.
The handle of the umbrella was twisted
with white blossoms, secured with a
knot of white satin ribbon, and around
the edge was hung fringe of white
and pink fuchsias. Over the curtains
were thrown vines of purple clematis,
and through one had been shot an arrow
of purple and yellow panses. On the
stand beneath the mirror, was a panel
of fuchsas and vases filled with flowers.
Across the piano was bank of ferns
and pink geraniums. The other rooms
were also beautifully decorated. masses
of ferns filled the available spaces and
| flowers were scattered around in lavish
profusion. Shortly after one o'clock
the bridal party came down the stairs
and the bride and groom took their
places beneath the protecting shade of
the umbrella. The bride was dressed
in an embroidered white dress, with q
scarf of soft silk knotted at the front,
and bunch of white roses at the belt
The groom was dressed, as always, in
the conventional black" The mar
riage ceremony was performed by Rev.
s. w. Eaton, and the white umbrella
was no protection against the rain of
tears, congratulations and good wishes
which were soon being showered upon
Mr.. and Mrs. Livingston. After the
congratulations had come To an end
delicious refreshments were served, the
brides cake was cut by the bride and
all ''went merry as marriage bell. "
AT about half past three the bride APP
peared in her travelling suit and the
happy pair left the house amid a
shower of rice, and were driven to the
depot. They left on the four o. clock
train for Madison, where they expected
to remain a day or two. going from
there TO Chicago and thence to Sara
toga. They will be absent some weeks,
returning to Lancaster for visit in the
late summer.
The bride was the recipient of many
beautiful presents. Among the guests
from other places were the members of
Mr.. Livingston's family from Living
ston, Prof. and Mrs. Beck, Mrs. Hutton,
Mr.. and Mrs William f. Carter, Miss
Fannie Guernsey and Mr. James, of
Platteville, and Mr. W. H. Beard, of
Chicago The significance of the UNI
brella underneath which the bridal
couple stood, suggests the HERALD's
wishes for the newly welded pair
May they be sheltered alike from life's
! fiercest suns and storms.

THE CROPS. The beginning of this
season was unprecedently favorable A
heavy snow fell after the ground had
thrawed, and slowly melting and soak
ing into the earth, not only carried with
it much fertilizing nitrogen, but stored
the ground with water to sustain crops
against drouth. Then the warm weather
in the spring was Enprecedcntly early
and continuous, giving crops. and es-
pecially grass. Il remarkable start. But
the subsequent drouth was SO prolonged
rs to create great apprehensionS. On the
clay ridges in this county hay is short
and thin and corn is badly stinted by the
douth and it is now probably too late for
ii to recover. But ON good deep soils,
hay, though short. is thick, and corn is
good and unusually advanced. Oats.
though the straw is short, promise to be
well filled They are now in full head
an unusually early date. Rye is already
cut. Wheat in this county is probably
hardly worth figuring on.
