says: Corn has made fair progress,
and Its present situation in the State
at large may be stated as follows:
About one-third OF the crop is sufficient
ly matured to cut and shock, or sub
stantially safe FROM harm by frost
Eight to ten bays OF good ripening

beyond danger. The remaining third
needs all of September and a little OF
October to get through in good shape.
The present outlook does not warrant
the expectation of securing more than
20 per cent. OF sound, merchantable
corn though the belated fields would
yield much valuable feed for stock If

weather. Other crops are doing we'll.

begun in some localities, with heavy
yield.

the morning he started out on hunt,
taking an ola muzzlc-loading, double
barrel shot gun, and told his brothers
wife he would be back AT noon. He
went 10 a ncighbor and borrowed
dog and that was the last seen of him
alive. In the evening Thomas Jones,
who had been cutting flax close by

ing in the grass dead. The dog would
not allow Mr.. Jones 10 go near the
de ad man and Mr.. Jones at once no.i-
fed the neighbors who went to the
scene and found his remains burnt 10
a crisp, his clothes having taken fire
from the discharge of the gun. A COR

ing. The shot entered the right side,
and passed out at his back. His gun
and two prairie chickens were found
about two hundred yards from where
he was found, with one barrel dis
charged. His remains were embalmed
and shipped TO his home for interment.
