good rest after harvest.
The question that concerns the
butcher is, will the great shipment OF
calves to the city market leave a sup
ply of cattle and beeves for the local
market in the future?
Notwithstanding the dry weather,
there has been a good supply OF red
raspberries and blackberries in the
market. The price of the former is S
and the latter cents per quart. Ship
Ders of blackberries have been getting
6 and cents per quart.

lean can be hero when the oppOrtun-
ity offers. The waving of the Stars
and Stripes as the emblem of Ameri-

but it is not all of patriotism. Every
American should labor for the welfare
of it's country and people.

feeding their wheat to their stock in the

| for threshing. 1t is the poorest crop Ill the
county for many years.
