"OUR CROPS"
Few Figures of Interest upon the
Eve of Harvest.

Eve of Harvest.
The careful observer in this COM
munity has noted the fact that there
has been more money in circulation
than most people had any idea of,
but even the obseryant man could
not realize fully the conditions which
have brought about this result In
fact it takes quite awhile for people
to realize so radical a change in the
productions and conditions of even
their own community. Two years of
panic, with two years of short crop
and very low prices in a wheat coun-
try would, one would naturally
suppose, be the last straw to break
the camel's back, but it must be adj
mitted that it didn't break. Had
conditions been the same as they
were five years ago, this locality
would have been destitute, like parts
OF Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas and
Oklahoma, but the PRESS is pleased
to state that conditions are not the
same, because the people of Hand
county no longer depend exclusively
upon wheat.
But here are n few figures that
show the why and wherefore, and
they beat moralizing all hollow.
Through the courtesy of Cashier w.
II. Waters, a reporter was given the
cash obtained by farmers and merch-
ants, as shown by the checks which
pas through the Citizens bank, for
butter shipped from Miller:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS GA 81
June. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. l,l32 9S
July (15 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 600 81
Total OK months).... 2,506 SO
Here we receipts of an average
of 81 900 per month in cash. This
comes only from Miller's territory.
Besides receipts at this place, there
are the other points of st. Lawrence,
Rec Heights, Washington, Orient,
Rockham, Zell and Tulare, where
butter is shipped from the county.
In addition to these shipments, the
st. Lawrence creamery is doing con-
siderable business. And this is prac-
tically only about the second year of
the county's dairying.
Hand county has several stock
buyers and shippers, the most extern
sive perhaps being Mr.. Catalan, of
| Miller. He alone has paid out for
cattle from May LIST to July - the
sum of SO, 252.9S. This industry
has been a gradual growth since 80.
The shipment OF sheep to market
comes little later, but the wool clip
is already shipped, and for June and
July from Miller amounted to $4,000.
To recapitulate, we have these
amounts of cash received at Miller by
farmers during the past two and one
half months:

DANGERS OF DECEPTION
Fointed Out i'm ForcefuI Language
by Rev. j. w. ConIey


be not deceived formed the text of
I" most impressive and practical SER
mon preached by the Rev. j. w. Com
ley at the First Baptist church last
Ilght. The reverend gentleman spoke
substantially as follows:
The misery and sin in this world oo,oa
LOT tne most part by mans being de-
celVed. Man was driven out from the
presence OF God, and misery and shame
commenced because man was deceived.
The Bible is Gods effort to deliver
man from the power of deception and
prlng him back into the acceptance of
the truth. Jesus Christ is the reveIa-
uon OF the truth to man, and we need
not believe lie but NAV accent the
truth and live. Most or us are SIN
cere, ana yet we may be entangled in
the most gr1evouS error There are
very grave and serious consequences
dependent upon deception everywhere
we know that it makes a difference if
we are deceived in regard to the laws
OF health, no matter how sincere we
may be in our mistaken views: suffer-
ing and disease will follow as GER
fanny as effect follows cause. So in
our business relationships if we are
necelVed In our own ability, or in our
business associates, or in the prospect
OIL success in any certain line, disaster
Is very likely to follow, and if a man
beIleVes lie, nc matter how sincere he
Is in his belief, evil consequences viii
follow
thousands are deceived as to what
Sin is. 1t does not look like sin to them.
IL seems to be so plausible, so delight
iul, but 1t does its destructive work lust
the same. One of the most alarming
and deplorable things we have to con-
tend with IS that so many are deceived

ceived as ali acknowledgment for this
special service the title OF Chief Yale
wa-noh (she watches for us), conferred
and signed Sept. Is, 1891, by the chiefs
of Six Nations at Onandaga Castle,
their national government house.
AS she is in possession of the Indian
relics, heirlooms. wanpum belts and
other historical records of the different
tribes, she has a most valuable collec-
ton, whose intrinsic worth is recog-
nized to perpetuate their habits. Gus
toms, deeds of valor and romantic
legends.
Mrs. Converse considers the histori
cal and national wampum belts the
most valuable relics in her possession.
They are worth about 1900, but are
beyond any price. They are centuries
old, and in the rows of wampunl
beads, their color and arrangement,
chronicle important events and eras in
their domestic and civil government.
The reader of these belts is a most
important parsonage in the tribe, gen
orally transmitting this sacred charge
for centuries to special member of
one clan, who is instructed privately
for this office. Mrs Converse is a
reader of these belts, and with great
feeling translates this history of diff
ferent periods and important events.
Personally Mrs. Converse has an in
dividuality exclusively her own: she
has sympathetic nature, true in her
friendships; has LIBERAL progressive
