The farmers in this part of the county
are feeling quite jubilant over the bright
prospects for crops this year. Small

That ice cream which DIETRICH
makes does not last very long, and he
says that he wishes the Normal Review
would continue forever II this weather
will do so too, for the students and
others are gang of screamers.
Miss Emma Menkhausen, of Boscobel,
one of the most popular lad success
full teachers in the county, is attending
the Normal Review here. We would
suggest to the graded school that if
they want a teacher that is experienced
and thoroughly understands the nature
of children, and who is popular with
all, they could not do better than to
procure. the services of Miss Menk-
hansen.

LEE L BEN. HARRISON


Gen. Lew Wallace we hear has
removed to indianapolis, aud is busily
engaged writing q biography of his old
friend Gen. Ben. Harrison.
Rarely has so happy a combination
been known is that resulting in the
issue of this work. Gen. Lew Wallace,
known the world over as the author of
"Ben Hur,D is one Of the Gen. har-
rison's lifelong and trusted friends,
and is also a distinguished soldier, n
trained statesmen, and n diplomat of
high national reputation.
His name as author gives at once
the assurance of biography of extra
ordinary merit.
His long intimate acquaintance with
his distinguished subject will
enable bin to prepare rapidly an
authentic and deeply interesting BIZ
ography.
His large experience in national
and international affairs fits him to
treat understandingly and ably of Gen
eral Harrison's superb record as
statesman, and clearly to unfold the
principles held by him respecting the
science of good government, and the
weighty issues at stake in the present
great contest.
Gen. Wallace at first declined this
task but upon the urgent solicitation of
many eminent men of the party, and
Gen. Harrison's assurance that every
thing needful should be placed at his
disposal, so as to make it the strictly
authentic, and only authorized BIZ
ography, he yielded to the call. and has
agreed to complete the work for
publication by Hubbard Brothers of
Philadelphia, early in August.
