Crop Bulletin.

For Week Ending Sspt. l0,l9O0.
The week ending Sept. 10th was
warm and dry. The average daily
temporal ure was from 3 to 6 de-
grees above normal, and excepting
in the northern part of the state
there was but little more than q
trace of rainfall. The conditions
have been very favorable for ripe
ming corn and threshing the bal
ance of unstacked grain. Fully
80 percent of the corn cropis now
practically safe, and the balance is
so near maturity that it may be
considered we'll assured. The ripe
ming process has been normal, se-
curing very nearly perfect devel-
opment Of ears and grain. For
the state at large it is the most
uniformly good crop grown within
the last two decades. Husking re
turns are likely t, show it to be
above all previous records. And the
farmers are cutting and securing
more than the usual amount of for
age from their cornfelds. Except
in portions of the northern half Of
the state the soil has been rather
too dry for blowing, but the acreage
| plo wed is in excess of the average
Of recent years. Pastures gener-
ally afford a good supply of for
age for this season of the year.
Reports indicate good yield Of
flax seed. Millet, buckwheat and
sorghum have done notably WE'LL
Except winter apples the orchards
have yielded fairly we'll. The po-
tato harvesa is in progress. AS q
whole it has been most bountiful
crop season.

LITTLE Sioux, IA, Sept. 10.
Editor TIMEs:-I was crossing
over from the Soldier Valley or

horse, but remarked: cit 'aint
going to storm, stranger, the wind
will soon change and the storm
drift south of U.S. I could not
see how she knew, but before ]
got my horse hitched and things
secured the wind shifted as she
said and only a slight sprinkle
was the result and the storm
drifted just south of US. Such
keen and accurate observation
certainly surprised me, and think
ing to please the old lady, l began
to praise her chickens, when she
said: "Yes, 1 have some that are
fine and others that are not doing

unkind enough to send to a hotel,
where Missouri Valley was we'll

A Day of Farewells.

The services at the Lakeside churcl
were brought toa very fitting close
last Sunday evening in service il
which the Christian and M + churches
Joined in bidding farewell to Rev j
MacAll!ster, who that evening closed
fruitful pastorage of eight years dur
alton. The exercises were digni
fled and simple, with no attempt at
display. A modest supply of beauti.
full flowers adorned the rostrum. The
good old hymns, long known by all,
were sung by the congregation. Rev
LeGrand Pace, of the Christion church,
read the scriptures, and Rev G w
Pratt, of the M E church. offered fer
vent, heartfelt prayer.
Rev MacAllister, in his opening re-
marks, spoke of the day as q "a day of
farewells," having taken farewell OF
his congregation at the morning ser
vices around the Lords table, of the
Sunday school and its teachers, of the
Christian Endeavor society at their
meetings, and now of the churches
and citizens in this public meet
ing, Briefly and modestly he spoke
of his tender relations as pastor
to his people and citizens, and
then preached stirring sermon, using
at his text, John l go, "behold the lamb
of God that taketh away the sin of the
world" He pictured Christ in his
power TO redeem from sin and God in
his merciful willingness to forgive and
accept all that come to him. The ser
mon was a strong appeal to men to ac-
cept the Son of God as their Saviour.
Rev Pratt spoke feelingly upon the
relations of pastor and people. The
pastors office in the sick room, in the
chamber of death, at the ringing of
joyful wedding bells, in the baptising
of children, IN the pulpit and before
the public, is tender relation in all it's
bearings. Because of these relations,
Rev Pratt favors the loag pastorage
as the joyful and fruitful labor of the
minister of Jesus Christ.
Rev Pace spoke of the faithfulness
of the minister who is able to retain
the long pastorage. instant In season
and out of season." always faithful in
preaching the gospel as the "Power of
God" to win men. "l5e thou faithful
unto the end and l will give thee q
crown of life" He happily referred to
Rev MacAllister's last sermon as a
strong appeal to this end for which LIE
has labored so faithfully.
Revs Pace and Pratt voiced the feel
ings of their people in their we'll wisaes
tor Rev MacAllister and his devoted
family. The high esteem in which he
is held in Storm Lake was evidenced
by the large congregation present.
The occasion was happy one and yet
tinged with feeling of sadness as
partings always are. In o few we'll
chosen words the faithful friend and
pastor said goodbye" and pronounced
the blessings Of God upon the people.

w. T. stanper.

The fusion candidate for Clerk of the
District Court of Harrison County at
the coming election, was in the Valley
yesterday on business. On talking to
him on the subject of the election he
remarked that his nomination was
made without solicitation on his part,
and while it would afford him great
pleasure te serve the people of Harri-
son county in the capacity of Clerk,
yet he could not neglect his duty as .
school teacher to make canvass for
office, as elections are very uncertain
quantities.
We rather admire the man who feels
thus. and only accepts nomination
voluntary rendered, as duty, and is
willing to leave the choice to the voter
where it properly belongs, twhile he
attends to his profession as teacher.
Mr.. Stamper is respected citizen Of
Morgan township. where he has lived
for many years, and is successful
school teacher, and if elected to the
Office for which he has been named, the
people can rest assured that they Will
havela worthy, faithful, and efficient
public officer, one who is we'll equipt
to discharge the duties of the position.
His vote will be the largest where he
is best known.
