attending the assembly and Incl
dentally working up a crowd for Ok
ford's Fourth Of July celebration.

and handing him a poster went on to
explain that the orator was a young
college graduate, Mr.. E. T. Hackney

Greek and the southwest part OF
Eden township Tuesday afternoon
and was much pleased with the ex.
cellent crop prospects there. The
prospects for oats is quite good, the
late rains having brought the oats
out wonderfully, some will make
forty to fifty bushels per acre. There
is a great deal more good wheat than
we expected to see. Frank Mercer,
who lives eight miles north of town
has over two hundred acres of wheat
that will likely average ten bushels
or more per acre. Others 10 that
neighbOrhOOd have some good wheat.

early yet to make calculations on the
corn crop.-Argonia Clipper.
