Samuel Stephens, Esq. brought us
some ears of corn last Tuesday. They
are splendid ones and he says he has so
acres like it. We are glad to know it,
for it encourages US to think the crop
in Grant County will not be so bad
after all. MIR. Stephens has good land
and know how to work it
We were more than pleased the other
day to meet Will Mayne, Grant coun-
ty boy whose home is now in Sioux
Falls, S. d. He graduated some years
ago from the Bloomington high school.
For several years he worked steadily
in the Office of Register of Deeds in
Sioux Falls and by industry and good
work has made many warm friends in
his western home. We rejoice in his
success.
The entertainment given by the Ep-
worth League at the M. Z Church,
Monday evening was very creditable
affair. The little grandmothers
pantomine affair was very good and the
songs. recitations, chocolate drill, etc. +,
made a very pleasant entertainment.
The sales of ice cream and cake were
not large, but the league members are
grateful for the patronage bestowed
upon their efforts, especially as there
were so m any other attractions in the
city.
We regret to announce that DIR. w.
Townsend Brown, eye and ear surgeon,
has entered into partnership with DIR.
E. W. Beebe of Milwaukee and will
hereafter spend most of his time in that
city. He will leave here Oct. 9th and
will make visits here of week or so
several times during the fail and win
ter. This partnership is good thing
for DIR. Brown, for DR.. Beebe is con-
sidered one of the best specialists in his
line in the west, but it is not good
thing for Lancaster to have DIR. Brown
leave us.
Apples and fruits growing on the
farms over which the hail-storm passed
week before last, are badly injured and
in many instances ruined. Plums and
soft fruits were smashed and some hard
apples, such as the russell, are so
bruised that they will not keep.
Pumpkins, especially green ones, are
denied in dozens of places, so that
they can not ripen. and the west end of
the barns on Boice Prairie look as if
they had had a unvaccinated attack of
small box and been badly nursed. The
dents will stay there for years. The
hail stones were irregular and many of
them measured 81 inches around 1t
was a tremendous hail storm and the
sum total damage is quite consider
able.

mushrooms and in search of them he
took stroll down toward Bushnell

treat, placing fence or two between
him and the dangerous brute The
