reapers anu scythes during the las

croaking from our friends, the farm
era, during the wet spell, the crop has
nearly all been saved in good condi'

oyerflows but most of the wheat will
grade well and bring the farmers
good money. Cowan IL Co. and the
two mills will be the buyers in this

will be about G5 cents for this weeks
delivery. The crop ought to bring
several hundred thousands of dollars
in Christian county aud make times
easy for all branches OF trade.
