three o'clock p. m. for the purpose of
prayer. All praying people are invit-
ed to take part.
The rain on Sunday night flooded
some OF the creeks near Sharon so
much that one or two of the bridges
were nearly impossible for some hours
on Monday. The ford at Flank Nc
Murtry's was almost impossible.
A man named Terrell stayed in this
valley on Sunday night. He was on
his way from Pratt Co. to his home in
the Strip. His claim is % miles south
east from Alva. He lost the use of
his left leg when {. boy by fever sore.
He walks with one leg ana a crutch.
Another good rain on Sunday even
ing keeps farmers in good heart. The
precipitation amounts to Is inches. I
notice that the creek which comes from
the west is higher than the one from
the north and l conclude the preciplta-
ton west was greater than here but
the soil is completely saturated as far
as have heard from.
The sisters of the Baptist church I'M
der the leadership of Mrs. Jessie SWAIN
met at the church last Thursday and
made quilt which they will sell for
the benefit of the church on Wednes-
day evening of this week at an ice
cream supper in Bro. Swaim's grove
just opposite the church. All are in

wheat Ia as apt to yield crop

sown later, but, like the older varieties
OF buckwheat, it yields honey only in

is just beginning to bloom but not
enough yet to attract the bees. I'm
like buckwheat, rape yields honey all
day and attracts the bees from morning
until night.
The people of Sharon are this early
making preparations to celebrate the
coming Fourth of July in true patriotic
style. Let everybody turn out and
honor the anniversary of the day on
which our noble forefathers proclaim
ed our independence and the United
States Became one among the galaxy of
nations with the best theory of human
government ever known to man. This
is matter in which all who appreciate
the blessing of government of the
people by the people are interested.
Then come from far and near and

and let US have peaceful quiet and
orderly celebration.

An exchange says that the much
talked about bloomer bicycle dress is
simply pair of trousers, very baggy at
the knees, abnormally full about the
pistol pocket and considerably loose
where you strike match. The gar
ment is collected at the south end and
the bottoms are tied around the knee
to keep the mice out. You can't put it
over your head as you would skirt,
but you sit on the floor and pull it on
just as you would your stockings, one
foot in each compartment. You can
easily tell which is the right side to
