GREENWOOD.
j. w. Cummings, and his son, Wal
lace E., of Albany, were here last week !;
and more recently Charles A. Durham.
OF west Bethel, from whom We obtained
some information In regard 70 the crops
In their vicinity.
The hay crop ID estimated at from 80
to rs per cent; corn light and potatoes
not more than half Q crop, where the
rust struck them, bot better In other
places. Some are digging them, hoping,
BY 30 doing, 20 escape the rot They re
port the apple crop failure, except the
Transcendent crnb apple, which is 90
plentiful In some localities ~ TO be had
for the picking.
The drouth Ia on again. and more
severe than ever; streams, wells and
squeducts are dried up, ~ also the grass,
90 that cattle have to be kept In the barn
and foddered - in winter. There has
been nothing equal 10 IL during the pres
ent century, and may there never be
again.
Mrs. Irving fogg's health improved
on visiting Peaks Island, bot the eli
mate did not agree with her little girl,
which made Il necessary to return home
sooner than she at first Intended.
Elvira Cole visited her sister, Mrs.
Charles Swan, OF Milan, n. H., last
week, taking Arthur Cummings along
with her. She is nov back again, and
has resumed her work for Leon Brooks
A. X. Hicks, wife and niece, returned
from Boston last Saturday, and sll re.
port q pleasant visit. Henry Cummings,
whom they went TO see, has quit the
trucking business and gone Into trade
just outside the city limits.
Hannibal Curtis and his partner, Mr.
wyman OF South Woodstock, are doing q
good business, not only saving their owu
lumber, but also doing custom work
when wanted. Mr.. Curtis says bis %
horse power engine will cut out 10 u OF
shingles per day when they have good
stock 10 work.
David Morgan and his son Frank arr
painting their new house white, the
trimmings yellow, and the lattice worn
around the pisxxs, green; thus giving
the whole structure fine appearance.
Late Ia the afternoon, Tuesday, . col.
umn Of smoke rose up, like the smoke oi
= great furnace, in the direction OF the
City, and sll thought Il quite likely thai
IL WAS some ones home going up 10 drs
and smoke; but when . man drove
along and informed them II Was only the
burning OF brush and bushes, the scare
collapsed, and everybody breathed nat.
urallv once more.
A Russian Jew peddler stopped at The
Bennett place last week over night. and
proved TO be rather an intelligent youns
mau, although only 10 years OF age. HI
could speak and write the Hebrew, Ger
man and English languages, although
the first mentioned is his vernscular
and he always speaks IL when among
his own people. He believes the OLD
Testament, but rejects the New; and u
still looking for Christ TO come and
bring them all back TO their ancient pos
sessions, and once happy country. W.
derived quite an amount OF Information
In regard 70 that interesting but much
prosecuted people.
By referring TO the baby column, yor
will see two more reported there, one OF
whom is rather an interesting parsonage
In that he VAS born an uncle, his nephew
being no other than our own little hid
who will be two years old Ia October
Aud now look out for September.
