Notes From Herndon,


HERSDoN, Va. Sept 10, 1892.
We have been suffering from drouth, as has
all northern Virginia. The corn crop is short,
but the farmers take philosophical view and
look to the future. Light showers in the last
day or two have laid the dust and rendered
driving pleasant these moonlight nights.
There are still numerous sumnnerers here.
Mrs. James 8. Roy IL visiting friends At this
place.
Mrs. F. D. Stephenson and daughter have
returned from . weeks visit TO Warrington.
Mrs. Leona Kidwell has returned from . trip
to Boston, which she took in company with
Miss Merrill Of Washington.
Politics are not 80 sluggish - . few days ago.
The first ripple was caused by the Presidents
letter Of acceptance. Republicans are, n con-
sequence, wearing broad smiles OF satisfaction.
The republican primary il held this evening.
Demoerats are still quiet, a. though waiting,
Mscawbsr-like, 'for something to turn up"
