While the wheat is, perhaps, the
best that our farmers have raised
in. a number of years, yet it is
thought that it will bear good
price. There is no surplus wheat,
or corn, either, in the country and
consumption of the present wheat
crop will begin Immediately.
We confidently hope to see our
farmers realize at least IS cents
per bushel for their wheat. With
the present prospects for splendid
corn crop, we will soon reach
"Confdence" and change cars for
sProsperity."
An amusing feature has been
added to the celebration program.
1t is the procession of the Rag
Mullins under the management OF
General r. D. Galloway. A prize
of $3.50 has been offered to the one
IN the most amusing
garb.
Not many business houses in the
United States can boast Of standing
so years. The business Of J. c.

and used everywhere, has passed its

so vigorous as at present.
Robert Blasingame has been
stopping at his father's-in-law the

father to close out the business and

out and send it to him.
