There is a farmer down near Bijou
Hills vino has on hand five crops of
wheat, all Of which he has held OF to for
better prices. One crop he could have
sold for 81 a bushel, another for 70 cents

that a ring around the moon foretells a
storm, and tie number Of stars visible
within it predicts the number OF days
before the storm will appear. The ring

a good MANY stars. but the haze hid them.
There was probably enough Of them to
put the storm off to about Christmas.

There has been harvested on the DR..

from a half acre Of land. Ten of the
largest potatoes were picked ont and
found to weigh ten and One-half pounds

every thing to be desired, but shedid like
to get her boarders mp to breakfast early
and out of the way. 1t was a fayorite
amusement Of hers to go into the parlol
in the early morning and accompany
herself IN the piano to the tune OF "Papa
Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow-wow." George
and his wife and his friends COULDN'T

a little bow-wow and express it to hi
Chicago hostess.
