fastened toppled over, and he came heavi-

He must have lain senseless for hours.

heard voices. Two men were in the
kitchen too busily engaged to take any
notice of him.

4 Dangerous Habit.

nudguville sun,
We have nothing but sympathy for
the relatives and friends of the
defendant Terill, yet he who wantonly
takes human life cannot be
punished too severely, for the pro-
lection OF society in general. The
Sun believes the killing was the out
growth of the habit Of carrying
concealed weapons, habit that Is
inexcusabe in this age in which law
abiding citizens are well protected and
the one who tries to protect himself
in this way Is the one who commits
the murders.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN

For the week ending Tuesday, July
II, 1894.
No rain fell during the past week,
except light showers in the eastern
counties on Saturday, and the weather
has been very hot. Haying has pro
crossed rapidly under the most favora-
Bile circumstances and the crop is
about secured. Wheat and rye are
about harvested and mostly in the
stack. Some threshing has been done
in southern counties. The crop is
generally good and in some sections
the yield will be above the average.
Barley is about ready to cut; in
some counties the harvest is under
way and the yield fully up to the aver
age and of good color
Oats are ripening rapidly but owing
to the heat and drouth, the crop will
be light.
Corn is doing well, except on light
soil where it is showing the effect of
the drouth.
Potatoes, especially early varieties,
have been permanently injured by the
dry weather, and the late crop is in
need of rain
The lack of rain is being severely
felt In all parts Of the state; pastures
arc drying up and vegetation greatly
injured; tobacco is suffering. Gran,
berries are also reported rs much in
need of cooler and wet weather.

also numerous watering places where,
In winsome variety, the American girl

An Abundant harvest.

Nchlaud Democrat,
a drive through the country will
convince the most skeptical that an
abundant harvest is sure to be reaped.
The only crop that will not be unusually
heavy is hay and that is light only in
places. Wheat is being cut and is
heavy and we'll filed, oats are ripening
in the best Of shape and corn could
not average better, the old hope of
seeing 1t "knee high on the fourth of
July" being entirely outdone. Some
fields now stand over six feet in
height where soil is sandy and u great
majority Of fields are tasseling out.
