Obituary.

REYNOLDS, June IL. - Mr.. Charles
Laughlin, well known citizen of Rock
Island county, living on his farm about
three miles northwest of Reynolds, died
very suddenly on Saturday last of bron-
chial troubles, while in his chair He
had been poorly for several years, but
was able to be about his farm until Fri
day. On Thursday he drove to Reynolds
and seemed to be feeling quite we'll. On
Friday evening he complained of feeling
badly. Saturday morning he went out to
attend to his work as usual, but felt so
badly that he returned to the house. Mrs.
Laughlin and daughter were in the house
and noticed his unusual appearance.
They feared something serious might
happen so they watched him closely. At
about fifteen minutes to 10 Mrs Laugh
lin was going about her work when she
was called by her daughter, who observed
sudden change in her father. Mrs.
Laughlin hurried to the room, but moth
ing could be done. In a few moments
death relieved the sufferer of all earthly
pain.
Mr.. Laughlin was sixty>eight years of
age on Jan. is last. He was a member
of Keeney lodge, No. 223 A. F. 81 A.
M. The, funeral services took place at
2 o'clock p. m. Sunday, conducted by
the above named lodge.
Mr.. Laughlin was a man highly es-
teemed by all who knew him. and many
friends from far and near came to pay the
last tribute Mrs. Laughin has the sympa-
thy of the entire community in her afiiic-
ton.

CrOpa.

The crop correspondents of the state
department OF agriculture and the signal
service observers Of the Illinois state
weather service, representing all por,
tions of the state, have made the fol-
lowing report for the week ending June
8. to the secretary of the state board of
agriculture, concerning the condition of
the growing crops:
The reports received on this date from
all portions of the state indicate that
during the past week rains have visited
the southern c0untie in which the con
tinued drouth and numerous insect pests
have caused much alarm concerning the
outlook for growing crops, The heavy
rains of the previous week and the late
showers have continued the favorable
conditions for the crops in other portions
of the state. The serious damage
threatened wheat and corn, by the pres
ence OF vast numbers of chinch bugs IN
the southern counties, has lessened some
what since the late rains but unless
abundant and early showers are had in
this section, there will be an unprece'
dented failure of the crops this season.
The cold, backward season is indicated
by the slow growth of corn. The un'
even stand is indicated largely by the
presence of an unusual number of cuts
worms. In some of the southern cOun>
ties the chinch-bugs have seriously dam
aged the corn.
The late showers and warm weather
have had a marked effect in improving
the condition of corn. which has made a
vigorous growth during the past week, in
all portions of the state visited by the
recent rains. In the following counties
there is fair prospect for nearly an
average yield of corn per acre, viz: Mo
Henry, DeKalb, DuPage, Kankakee,
Champaign. Vermillion, Morgan, Scott
Green, Jersey, Macoupin, Madison,
Christian. Moultrie, Coles, Edgar, Clark,
Jasper, Etfingham, Clay, Marion, Jeffer-
son, Clinton, st. Claire. Randolph, Perry,
Gallatin, Hardin, Williamson, Alexander
and Pulaski.
There has been a good growth OF oats
during the past week in sections OF the
state were there have been seasonable
rains and considerable danger of lodging
is anticipated The present prospects are
favorable for an average yield per acre of
oats in the central and northern counties
OF the state where the bulk of this crop
is produced. In many of the southern
counties there will be a good yield of
oats.
The limited area of spring wheat in
this state is in promising condition and
will doubtless make an average yield per
acre. The condition of winter wheat has
not improved during the past week.
The reports showing a slight change for
the better in the outlook for this crop are
the exception.
