a COW, last Wednesday evening, the
animal slipped and fell onto Mr.. w.

A GooDLY number of our citizens
attended the Highland band picnic
and report unlimited hospitality and
a good time. The game of ball be-

The hot weather has come most
opportunely for the farmer who
planted corn. This crop is late over
large area; it was set back by
long season Of rains, and its only
chance lay in a succession Of warm
