CROPS ~ OHIO.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: We have had
a long drouth hero, which was ended by rain
fall on Oct. IL. We then had three days Of
rain, it falling slowly, and giving life to the
wheat, which was striving TO grow in the dry
earth. There is not SO much wheat sOWn as
usual, as the ground could not be plOWed At
this late date, Oct. %. the plow is going, and
wheat will be sown in November. The corn is
well matured, and a good crop is expected.
Apples are very scarce. but plentiful within a
hundred miles. Butter scarce at 30 cents per
pound.-H. w. PHELrs, Northern, Franklin

cleo led and appeared, but on account Of
the absence of several officers the con-
ferring of the degrees was postponed.
They then applied to be initiated in
Mountain Dale Lodge and were ac.
cepted, paying all the costs. Thus che
controversy was raised, and 1t promises
to divulge some fine points of law.
