DEAR HERALD We have had much
rain since we wrote you last, which will
help the late corn and especially the
pastorage.
The corn crop will be fairly good.
The Reid Brothers have purchased R
L Holtzman's stock of groceries and con-
dictionaries, including good will, and
will conduct the business in person. They
will also, in connection with the grocery
business. carry a full stock of fresh
meats.
The graded school at this place under
Prof. Lustre, opened Monday. He comes
to us highly recommended and should be
we'll patronized. The attendance at the
opening was only fair. Polytechnic
Institute opened Tuesday, with a fair
attendance also. Both schools should be
full.
Quite a number of persons from our
town and community are and have been
visiting the Worlds Fair.
Mr.. D. L shomo, we are sorry to say,
is quite i'll, having been confined to his
bed for some time with rheumatism. He
was a member of Imboden's artellery
company during the late war. He was
severely wounded at Fishers Hill and
taken prisoner.
Mr.. John O'Rosrk, a cOnfed crate vet
eran, and inmate of the Soldiers Home at
Richmond, Va, is at home on a visit.

We have heard with regret that Mr..
S. r. Hoover has declined to allow bis
name to go before the county conyen-
ion which will nominate a candidate for
the House of Delegates in the near future.
Mr.. Hoover would have made a worthy
and it was to be hope be
would continue in the race.
Incidentally DR.. F. Z. Rice has BEEN
men toned as probable candidate. He
like Mr.. Hoover, would make a coed |
member of the lower House. His past
experience would ably fit him for the
luties of the position, besides being
personally identified with the farming
interest of the county, besides being
strictly honest and does not belong to
he class known as the inscriptions
politician. 1t is to be hoped that he will
leek the nomination.

doubtless Will, have packed houses both
nights.
The Ramsey Comedy company was
billed to show here on the night of the

since becom stranded, and have left for
parts unkno
