A person can stand in one place in
Adair and count between seventy-fve
and one hundred ricks of wheat in sight,
and we presume there are other points
where this number can be greatly exceed
ed.
The rain Of last night will freshen up
things and give corn another boost. Corn
has not really suffered by the dry wealth
er, although it is not likely it would have
stood more than couple of weeks more.
It also makes prospects good for water
melons, and that's what makes us giggle
If the singing last Sunday had been
pitched one sixty-tourth of a tone higher
we don't think quite so many of us would
have smiled. Reason? Why, we think
that much more would have killed one or
two and changed the ordinary service to
funeral ceremony.
The wheat this year seemed to ripen
very nearly together. Very little, If any
of Il could be bound. A few cut with a
binder and left it in piles, but most of it
was headed. As consequence, headers
were in demand and grain had to be cut
wherever the chance offered. so Sunday
was harvest day for twenty or thirty men
in this county on two different Sundays,
the same as a week day, and the same
may be said of the Fourth. In reading
this over we see we said 'men" OF
course the women folks done nothing.
We would advise Bob. Mus grave to
keep still about the fireworks" ''they"
witnessed the evening Of the Fourth. He
shouldn't throw stones before he himself
gets out of a glass house. The next
time be breaks thill of his buggy he
should look carefully around and notice
whether or not some fair siren is perched
IA the branches of that willow tree, by the
bank Of the creek, before he INDUCES in
such choice United States language con-
corning his luck.
Will CLARK, ike q great many others,
was compelled by force OF circumstances
to work two Sundays. Will is consider
able of ladies' man, so it cut deep, and
he vowed by all of his old cast of rheu-
matic socks that he would have a girl
Sunday If he had to take one no larger
than Josie Barnes Well, he got there
with both feet He got the G. b. once,
but il didn't seem to hurt him any, for he
afterward did "Winn" the consent of two
girls, and we don't think it made any
'Mat-tie" rial difference to him at all. al
though Of course We May" be mistaken.
