A man don't work 80 assiduOusly

Some peoples only visible means

You can't tell how cheeriully a

The Lord prevents some men
from succeeding because it would
be too mean.
One thing we always enjoy and

The only way to escape worries
for certain Is to die.
Some people get their only real
enjoy in telling bad news.
Often the hardest working man
spends his money most freely on
fakes.
1t makes anybody feel foolish to
be caught repeating as original any
thing somebody else has said.
We notice lots of men wearing
red, white and blue who hadn't the
courage to enlist in the war.
AS long as man makes out to

More people make fuss over

There is undoubtedly no profess

A man who always goes around

A bore never goes visiting so he

Life Insurance agents are born

SOUTHERN SECTION, all counties
south of Franklin: Showers fell
on nearly every day of the week,
hut the precipitation was some-
what local as regards distribution,
being ample in some of the middle
counties bordering on the Ohio
River, and in many other counties
the rainfall in places was so light
or scattered that but little good re.
suited. In general more rain is
needed for grass, potatoes, corn,
and gardens. The highest temper
atures each day averaged close to
80 degrees and the lowest each
night was generally near 70 de-
grees. Somewhat more than the
usual amount of sunshine was re-
ceived. Thrashing of wheat from
shocks and stacks is well advanced,
the yields range from fair to good,
with numerous complaints of
shrunken grain; the crop promises
not to come up to previous eXpecta-
tions because of dry weather at
time of ripening. Oats are about
all cut and much is in barns; the
crop has been materially damaged
: by rust and drouth when maturing
both heads and straw are short.
Bottom land corn is doing much
better than that on ridges and clay
soils; the crop in many places has
been improved by rains, but COM
plants continue as regards drought,
and there are II few reports Of
chinch bugs on late corn; the crop
is generally in tassel and some is

and in good order. Second growth
clover again needs soaking rains
Pastures are short. Early potatoes
are said to be but half a crop and
some have rOtted in the ground
late potatoes show little improve.

pearing, and melon and cucumber
vines are beginning to show blight
Tobacco has sustained some dam.
age by reason Of worms and flea
beetles, otherwise the crop is doing
well; early tobaccs looks much
better than late planted, the latter
being rather small; much of the
early tobacco is blooming and some
has been "topped." Early peaches
are in market. Blums are turning
color. Apples continue to droE
badly and many trees are quite
bare. Peaches and pears promise
TO be plentiful. Some blowing has
been done for fall seeding of wheat
the ground is rather hard anC
lumpy.
