The booths are well patronized, and
have done a good business. The sew.
eral voting contests have aroused an
| increasing interest, and the various
valuable presents which have been Of
| fered. makes them doubly priced.
Il. w. Emerson of Boston, the widely

AMERICAN wheat is in great demand
in Europe, and the shipments thither
are greater than ever known before.
A dispatch from Baltimore, Aug. Is,
says that fourteen steamers are now
in that port loading on cargoes of
grain, and fleet of forty-eight YES
sells laden with full or part cargoes of
grain, is now at sea bound from Bal
timore to European ports. Very large
shipments are also reported from
Philadelphia, New York and other
ports. The United States, it seems,
is about the only country that has
any surplus with which to supply the
grain importing nations Of western
Europe, and the western farmer is
now strict y in it. That prices will
rule high for some time is almost GER
tain. It is encouraging to the farm
or also that the bulk of the crop is
still in his hands and that he will get
the benefit of the higher prices.

IT is said that by virtue 6fa law
passed in the Norwegian storthirg,
any Norwegian born male, who has
not been absent over thirty-six months
and not foresworn allegiance to King
Oscar, may cast his vote at the near

caths are administered and the vote
cast with no more red tape than takes
place here under the Australian bal
lot system. The papers are of course

JUDGE IVES said in his letter from

the SHEAF, that eff 1 were Scandina-

heard of the rise of wheat in this

Norway he might never have become

MARSHALL county is strictly in it
this year as far as crops are concern
ed. Those who have been over the
valley sufficiently to know say that
crops here average better than any
where else. The land around Warren
is unsurpassed for fertility and has
never known complete failure of
crops since cultivation began, no mat
ter whether the season be wet or dry
early or late. This is most favored
locality, and land here is certainly
more desirable than anywhere else in
the valley. This fact should not be
overlooked by those wanting to in
vest in choice farming lands ST.;
