Oar wheat crop 10 fairly good and
rated at 81 p,r cent. The crop in
the west and in fact all over the
country and in foreign countries,is
much better than the average, and
The price Of whoat - coming down
even IN The face OF war and un
usual demaud for it. IL is quoted
now in Chicago and st. Louis at
about G7 cents, SO that -four is
coming down and will likely stay
down for another year.
The potato crop shows mp we'll
in the report. large acreage being
planted and the conditions OF the
crop rated at 90 per cent.
The average weight Of wool. per
fleece, for tho whole State, is
Al lbs.
Clover is rated at 90 per cent.
timothy OIL and pasture ia rated
at "a.
The apple and peach crop is way
down and we will only average
about one fourth of crop OF apples
and one third of peaches, the per
cent being at twenty four and
thirty two respectively. In Preston
county, there are a good many ap--
Piles in some sections and but few
in Others and the same with peaches.
The grape crop promises good
and there are plenty of ali kinds of
berries. Strawberries are gone and
raspberries nearly so, while black
berries are getting ripe and
promise a big crop. There are
also plenty of mulberries aud che
cherry crop, was very good.
An unusual amount of buck wheat
has been sown and mos. OF our
farmers used phosphate on the
land and the crop will be enormous
II the season is favorable. Many
people have just finished sowing
their buckwheat and are now cut
ting their hay.
Oats looks like it will be Inferior
with the rust in many places, and
Is now very scarce article and
can hardly DO bought at all.
In the West many of the big
farmers did not plant as much
cora this year MS usual, but through
out the Southern States. they
planted more than ever before and
this will make an average crop for
tho whole country.
In live stock business is greatly
improved and good COWS and horses
will bring fair price now. Many
horses and mules have been brought
up for the army. An extra amount
OF beef and pork is also required to
feed our soldier boys. so that cattle
and hogs will be no drug now
for some time.
Sheep are also bringing fairly
good prices and John Copeman IN
formed US some time ago that be
had 10000 engaged and bought up
for the Eastern markets and he
has already been shipping several
carloads. Mr.. Copeman has now
become the leading sheep buyer of
the county and is making some
money at it.
All kinds Of garden truck looks
we'll and most of it is coming into
use now and people, with good
garden, can half live out Of it At
this season OF the year for the next
three month.

SUICIDE
or Henry N. Morgan. OF the Morgan
town Post, Shot Himself Through
the Head Mt His Home and Died
INSTANTLY

Morgantowu. w. Va, Jnly rs -
Henry NJ. Morgan. editor of The
Norgantown Post, and leading
citizen OF Norgsutown, committed
suicide this afternoon AT his bone.
The weapon used was a 80 c.libre
revolver, aud the ball entered the
head above the ear, killing him in
stan.ly.
The cause Of tie rash act was
melancholy arislrg from III health.
For two years he had been suffering
from Brignt's disease. and recently
the doctors told him that there was
no chance for him to recover. This
preyed on his mind, aud the family
have been afraid that he would kill
himself for some time. They have
been watching him closely, but this
afternoon he eluded their vigilance
aud bought revolver at "a bard
ware store down town.
'rne clerk was asked to losd the
weapon. which he did. and Morgan
went home. lie went up an alley
dongNdo the house and around the
rear of the residence. Plncing his
nat carefully on box, he fred the
fatal shot into his head. He appar
emily never moved after he fell. No
one about the house hesrd the shot,
and 4 woman found him half an
hour after the decd WIS committed
The town was greatly shocked. as
no one outside Of the family and
the physicians suspected anything
Of the kind being contem plated
No inquest was held. as the cause
WAS so apparent and the family did
not desire it.
Mr.. Morgan was over fifty years
old. His grandfather was the
founder of the town, and the fami
ly are among the oldest in the
State. His wife was Josephine A.
Lazier. daughter Of Il. q. L.zier,
OF this place. He was a member OF
the local lodge of Odd Fellows.
Under IT'S auspices the funeral will
be held.
