Mrs Dr. Jas T. Crane. nee Miss Susie
Ridenour, Of Richmond, is spending some
time with the Misses Wren. S34 West
Beverly street. Many of our citizens re-
member the delightful voice of Miss

singing was always delightfully."- sweet and
attractive, and large crowds attended the
Institution exhibitions to hear her sing.
In conversation with Rev. S. Fl. Myers.
of Rockingham, who has just returned
from protracted tour through several of
the Western States. we learn that the
wheat crop is very anpromising, and that
not more than bali a yield may be expected.
He attended the German Baptist copyoca-
tion at Manchester, Ind, and there met
representative farmers from various parts
Of the West and N orthwest, and was in
formed by them that a similar condition
of the wheat crop existed nearly all
through the West. The California yield
is not expected to be up to the average,
and the indie ttions now are that there
will be shortage in the general wheat
crop of the country. In the Valley of
Virginia we have fair crop-up to if not
above the average.
