home service at the NJ. E. church last
Sunday were in excellent taste.
Rev. Purves is expected home this
week, so as to lead the service at the
Episcopal chapel next Sunday.
Next Monday is Labor day, and by
state law q legal holiday. In this To-
cality it will probably be celebrated
like any other labor day.

William Pratt has been threshing
on his place, and on small field of six
acres which he selected to see what it
would do, the result showed yield of
SO bushels per acre. The average for
his entire crop is about Is bushels per
acre.
Jos. Tyson, Geo. Ruter, Doc. Dorm
berg and Till Tibbetts have gone to
Chicago with cattle train, and we ex-
pect to hear any day that the Red

1t is not expected that they will bring
it back with them, however.
A Detroit millionaire was saying to
his confidential clerk the other day:
"Now, I've arranged those papers for
my wife and children all right, so that
if de- "1f you de-" interrupted
the secretary, "say when you die;
there's no if about dying."-Detroit

County Supt. Race informs us that
the two daughters of Editor Byington
did all the work on the last issue of
the Rural Center, from picking up the
items to working off the papers. Bravo,
young ladies! The Gazette mourns
that its editor hasn't a pair of daugh-
ters to match Brother Byington's.
That farmers have not been holding
their wheat to any great extent since
harvest, is indicated by a reliable
statement we heard q few days ago,
that one-third as much wheat as was
marketed at this station of the crop of
1890, has already been marketed the
past month. And last year was thought
to be pretty good one for wheat, too.
The great Enates the threshing done
in this vicinity 80 far shows yield of
from 20 to 80 bushels Of wheat per
acre, with very few reported below the
former figure, and occasionally one
going above thirty. We have yet to
hear of yield anywhere in the state
better than that returned from w. j
Johnson's banner ten acres, of As BUSH
els per acre.
Tyler merchants have formed q COM
bination to stop the Sunday opening
of their stores. According to report,
such action is being agitated here by
some of our grocers who have fallen
into the way of opening their stores to
accommodate customers on Sunday,
until the custom has become nuisance
to all concerned. Six days a week af-
ford time and opportunities enough
for bur ing and selling.
The corner stone of the new court
house at Marshall is to be laid with
due ceremony to-day. Quite a num-
Der of Masons and others at this place
we're invited, but - the trip would
consume most of three days, a MAORI
ty feel too busy to spare the time. The
ceremonies will be in charge of the
Masons, and it is probable that Depu-
ty Grand Master W. F. Dickinson will
be called upon to oficiate, in the alb
sence of Grand Master Barto.
Ener Birum says that the new wheat
is highly satisfactory to the millers.
Every bushel that comes to them is
easily No. !, and dockage cuts no fig
ure, as much of the wheat is so clean
that it is fit for milling as it comes
from the machine. This feature, Mr..
Birum thinks, will do away with much
Of the friction between different, buy
fers, as where there is shrunken wheat
there is often much variance between
different buyers in the matter of dock
age. '' ,.
St. Peter Herald: This section Of
the state is being completely overrun
with that common enemy to agricul-
ture, wild oats. Some fields of grain
are being rendered totally worthless
by it. w. 81. Townsville informs us
