GARFIELD's NoMINATIoN.-Ad-
vance sheets of Senator John Sher-
mans memoirs have been reviewed
by the newspapers and the fact is
disclosed that Sherman thinks and
says that Garfield, who went to the
Republican convention of 1880 as
delegate for Sherman, was false to
his trust, to put it in plain English,
and that he schemed and contrived
for the nomination and finally Sc.
cured it himself at Sherman's cost.
The matter has aroused great interest
nd much discussion between the
riends OF the illust rious men and
considerable feeling is displayed
over it.

Mrs. Colt sues Col. Samuel P. Colt
for divorce and the plesdings bring

much money, passion and temper,
are about as effective in working

Senator Faulkner is having quite
a fine time in Maryland chasing the
Baltimore Sun into hole. The Sun
is doing a power of scratching
and suggested to the Senator that
they were on fox hunt in Maryland
and that possibly in the next cam
paign the people of West Virginia
would also be on a fox hunt. Rather
rough on the Senator, but if he
campaigns and shoots his gun at
democratic opponents he must ex-
pect q return fire.

BENTON COUNTY CROPS.

Within the past week our farm
ers have had an opportunity to test
the merits Of the large quantity Of
harvesting machinery introduced
in the county this year, as wheat
and oat harvesting have been in
progress.
Just what is the average Of the
wheat crop is hard to estimate at
present. Just before harvesting
time reports were very Aattering,
and the crop was estimated to be
better than ever known, but when
the reaper was put to work it was
discovered that the crop had been
over-estimated. Our best inform
ed farmers think the crop will be
a good average crop. In any event
the crop is large enough to meet
the wants and plenty to spare of
those who had the foresight to put
in this crop Oats are fine.
Where the ground is good and
has been we'll worked the corn crop
is looking well, and if it continues
seasonable the supply will meet all
demands in the county.
Tobacco is reported making fair
growth, and where seasonable rains
have fallen is looking well.
Peanuts is in a very gratifying
condition Of growth, according tC
our reports from the southern part
of the county. The plant took OF
a healthy growth during the recent
warm weather, and having a gooC
send-off, the prospects are Just nov
quite fattering.
Garden vegetables, including on
ions, beans, spuds, peas, squashes
snaps and beets, are in good condi
tion and ready to make the hear
glad.
We will have plenty Of all kind
OF fruit, but not SO bountiful as W
anticipatedin in the early springwhel
) the trees were in bloom. Howev
: er, the fruit will be much better b
the trees not being overloaded.
