During the early hours of Tuesday
morning the weather became quite cold,
and a heavy frest destroyed most of the
tenJerest varieties Of vegetation. At
daylight the thermometer at different
points in this section had dropped down
to freezing and ice formed to the thick
ness Of ordinary window glass.
Quite number of Western parties
have been through this section recently
buying up large quantities of apples for
the markets of that section. Heretofore
thew have made their purchases IN the
New England states and northern New
York. and have expressed much surprise
at finding such superior fruit in this
section.
Although the nights this week have
been quite cool aud frosty the days have
been bright and warm with a soft haze
IN The sky and around the holzon strongly
sucgestive of that most delightful but all
too short season, Indian Summer. We
would like TO see these warm, Sunny days
continue for a while, as heir effect upon
the growing wheat has been exceedingly
beneficial.
The severe storm of some weeks ago
has been the cause of much delay to
great may Of our farmers in getting IN
their wheat crop, it having so badly
broke down the corn as TO make 1t
slow and tedious process to cut and shock
it. Several of our most progressive
farmers have informed us that they will
be ten or twelve days later with their
seeding from this cause alone than they
wolld otherwise have been.
The merchant whe cleared $4,000 in
bis business last year will do well to
clear s., 900 tAis year. or to even hold his
cwn against loss. The wage-worker
Who lay up something last year will
do well to support himself and family
this year. Thousands and thousands Of
wses-workers are suffering for the
pecessarios Of life. The situation would
have beea very different had the Senate
acted promptly and repealed the Sherman
law.
We neglected to notice in our last
weeks issue, the result of the shooting
match on Friday during the Fair, The
prize was a sum of money to the person
breaking the largest number OF clay
pigeons out of a possible fifteen thrown
from trap. The contestants numbered
seven or eight, some of them fine shot
and others not so much so as the resul
proved. The best score was made by Mr
P. Roller, of Mt. jackson, who mad
fourteen bits out of a possible fifteen
Krb Marshall, of Woodstock, brough
down twelve, and j. n, Brenaman hi
eleven. Some made fifteen clean misse
out Of the same number Of shots Will
others only made an occasional hit.
