1t would be useless to attempt to say
how many times it has rained the past
week. 1t has been the most thorough
soaking the ground has received for the
past two years. The wheat crop will
make about 4 of a full crop, and we
are confident that Barber's corn crop
will exceed the expectations of the
most sanguine.
Extensive preparations are being
made by the G.. a. r. and S. of VS.. for
an appropriate floral decoration of their
late comrades and brothers graves in
our city cemetry, and all persons who
can spare a portion of their blooming
roses and other bright, beautiful flow
ers for the above occasion, are hereby
respectfully requested to send the same
to their hall next Saturday morning.

Capt. Tom Fades, of Valley town.
ship, is one of Barber county's repre-
sentative farmers, and farms the year
around. That he has found farming
successful business can be readily seen
by visit to his farm and a note of the
crops he raises. He has now stored in
Kansas City, the product OF last years
crop from his farm, 10000 bushels of
wheat, which he will put upon the mar
ket as soon as he gets his price. This
years crop will exceed last, and eleven
teams are now busy breaking prairie,
which he will put out to wheat this fall,
and also SOW the old ground again with
the same cereal. Winter & Brown, of
this city, are building for him a large
two story addition to his house, and he
is making such other improvements as
his wants need. Does farming pay in
Barber county? We should rather think
it does, and other farmers within her
borders are just as prosperous as
