! WE had the pleasure to hear last
evening the rehearsal of the singers
h for the concert whicn is to be given OF
R Tuesday evening, the 10th inst, and
assure our citizens that they have Il
10 store some fine choral singing, fully VI
a to if not superior to Prof. ClOward's
wear ago. 1t is surprising to hea
such music outside the role of protes
re sionals. The concert will be composed
ID of about 80 of our best singers, tn
cboruses varied with the usual varlet
of solos, duets, quartets, &c. }. Ed
=, Hoffecker, who is directing and tralE
~ ing the rehearsals, has thrown his Ell
thusiasm into the music, fact mani
fest in the execution of the indiViduE
-. members.
XG WHAT promised to be poor straw
I'D berry season up till the % ult., by tn
wet showery weather of the fOllOwin
week was changed directly about, an
9F- we have some of the finest berries thu
u ever came to market. They wei
1s- coming in market all last week, but
Friday in quantities sufficient TO KnOC
- them down to eight cents per quar-

A NEWSPAPER is a wonderful instr
mentality in a community. 1t takes
VI all the people. You can read 1t, a
u9- si when it is read once you can send
'ul- awav to q friend and he can read
= and then lay it away for year and
will never lose interest. In no vi
APV' can YOU bring an important matter
Lna 5 fore q community better than thrOu
luot @ a local paper. No enterprise IN
oss' community is more worthy OF a li0e
support. You get in permanent
S. ser unmistakable form what is said In
9lHS local paper. Some people keep
nIal their papers and read again what is
lug in them. This is a good idea, as in
course of years it becomes an iptere
NC ing volume.-Er.
lIteI A SUGGESTION TO FARMERs.-1
'seu following communication will no do
be of interest to wheat growers: -
per mild winters have caused much COO
citi- to grow in the wheat. A few q
wing could soon 90 over a large field,
ting ting ont the cookie aud onions
carry to head land and leave the WI
free of this ruinOus filth, that no Gle
and ing machine can entirely remove;
king would greatly enhance the value
the the grain. The wheat cannot poss
icine make fFst.Olass -four when tpl
!. cookie and earlick. Farmers of
county should be careful to go {
'hila- their fields during this month and
10 of move the filth, our Kent wheat
mill would be graded the highest
have make irst-class -four.
