The condition of crops has been great
ly improved during the past few weeks
by the shower on Tuesday and the
heavy rain yesterday morning. Some
permanent injury was done by the
strong winds during the drought two
weeks ago, but grain of all kinds is now
in fully as good condition as usual in
the county. The only damage done by
the wind was on the mos, sandy soil,
and even there the early seeded grain
was injured but very little The dam
age therefore was confined mostly to
the late grain on sandy soil, and the
percentage of damage to the total vas
very small. The crops are now growing
rapidly, although but little progress was
made during the two weeks preceding
the rain. Farmers are quite encouraged
now over the outlook for small grain.
Corn has all been planted, and the rain
came just in time to give it q good
start. 1t is seldom that grass and foil
aye are as far advanced ut this season of
the year as they are now.

THE Turn of the Tide. .

On Wednesday and Thursday eve
nings of last week, the Phillipsburg
Dramatic Company (Sons of Yeterans)
played that standard amateur drama,
entitled ''The Turn of the Tide" fol-
lowed by the laughable farce. ''The
Prosecuted Dutchman." A fair au-
dience greeted the company both eve
nings, and from the hearty manner
in which they applauded they must
have been highly entertained. The
cast of characters was well selected;
each one seemed suited to his or her
part, and in fact the play was so we'll
balanced that we could not well dis
criminate between the different per
formers. The strong points IN the
drama were we'll brought out. and
there was a conspicuous absence Of
that restless nervousness so common
to amateurs Our city should be
proud of its local talent, and we ven
ture to say that should our young
people favor us with another enter
tainment of a similar character large
and appreciative audience will greet
them. The Company is made up OF
the following members; a. B. Gran
dial, Oscar Strain, I. II. Rogers, w.
j. Morton, Harry Leffingwell, Gus
Webster, Mabel Sturgeon, Bell Nor
! ton, Ollie Osborn and Leila Young.
