A BAD REroRT.-Within the past few days
the farmers have discovered that the large
crop of wheat which they had such bright
promise of gathering week or two ago. will
not be realized. It. now seems that owing to
the long continued rains, much of the wheat
is blightcd. Bunches Of heads showing the
wheat blight, have been brought to this office
by Mr.. Lewis F. Kcfauver and John G. Stone
farmers Lying near town.
On account of the continuous rains during
the present month the farmers haye been
prevented from doing much outdoor work
and in consequence but very little hay will
be made until after the wheat harvest, which
is now at hand A number of farmers did
not get to finish planting corn.

he told Mr.. Wilhide to wait half hour
