1t seems that we live in belt of dry or
drouth, extending in width from north to
south, of abont miles, in which it is
believed that comparatively little or no
corn will be raised, let it rain ever so
much from now forth. One of our proml-
nent farmers in an average way, and who
has been successful in that line. told the
writer few days ago That he did not be-
lieve be would get cents day for bis
labor he put on his corn land.
The pic mic the 4th iust., under the
management of Lee Cornet Band, was a
success in every respect save one. 1t

cannot he had unless partizan feelings
have to be wedged into the same by few
interruptions politicians. Regardless of
this fact. the three or four hundred pres
ent enjoyed themselves to their hearts
content, and the day seemed to be made
for the occasion. The bands present,
both instrumental and string, furnished
excellent music, and all returned home in
the evening feeling glad that they had
been outing for the day. Not an incident
occurred to mar the pleasure of any one.
An event long talked of was consum-
mated at the residence OF Mrs. j. P. Book,
on Monday evening last. We allnde to the
marriage of Miss Lena Brock TO Dr.. c.
NJ. Lcng, Of Minnesota. The bride is one
OF New Markets pretty and popular
young ladies, aud on the evening IN
question, she looked more so than ever,
being very prettlly and handsomely at
tired for the auspicous occasion. The
presents were numerous and costly. The
contracting parties were married by Kew
J. A. Snyder, in the presence OF quite
number of the immediate friends Of the

Old apple jack, or jack barley corr,
seems to get his work in every Saturday
in our little village, and last Saturday
night was no exception to the rule, as
several disturbances occurred on that
night, and one or two sore heads beng
the result of these night-dlsturbences Of
the public peace. Men aad minors are s'en
staggering on our streets at almost
every hour of this particular night, max
ing night hideous by their oaths and
squalls and vulgar language, and they do
all this without being mOlested Ivy the
strong arm of the law.
We regret to chron Gle another serious
base ball accident which occurred at the
picnic on Saturday. II seems that Gilbert
s chweinfurt, in haying to catch ball
fell and broke the large bone of his lett
arm, at or near the gwrist. DR.. c. Z.
Henkel rendered the necessary surgical
aid, and the patient is doing as we'll as
could be expected. "Dick" swears lie
will never play ball again.
Messrs. Peter Windle & Son, will start
for the East Virginia market on Thurs
