During the past week one of our
farmers, residing short distance from

nrticed a shortage of five sacks of grain,
a search developed the missing wheat
sccreted in a neighboring swale, where

final removal. \ watch was placed,
resulting in tho capture of the "klcp-
tomaniac" who, after doing some hard
begging, accompanied by promises of
reformation, was allowed To depart "A

man.
\ fire, supposed to be the work of an
incendiarN, which'was started ON the
property of J. NJ. Moyer, situated one
mile east of town, consumed 100 cords
of wood before it was controlled. As
the time has now arrived for stubble
and brush fires, the experience Of past
years should warn our farmers to take
all possible precaution against this
danger and those who desire to burn
straw piles, should choose time when
there is the least possible danger. BY
exercising little care many dollars
worth Of fencipg may be saved and
many hours Of hard work avoided.
The continued fair weather of the
past weeks, has been most favorable for
threshing, the work is being pushed
forward with all possible dispatch and
is yielding most satisfactory results in
most localities. The yield of wheat
and especially oats, has been greatly
in excess of last year. On the farm Of
Rubu. Harrison, 80 acres of wheat
threShed 1900 bushels of grain. Hop
vines have made n remarkable growth
