Messrs. Nicholson, Hunter and Will

their thresher finishing up the small

as in more fertile sections of our county,
consequently there is never much of
that cereal sown here. The average
was about y bushels per acre.
Since the rains have set in we have
been refreshed almost daily with one or
more showers, and corn can almost be
heard growing.
