One of the incest fields of wheat in
the county was that harvested last week
by Mr.. Orion Siggins from a SO-acre
piece of new ground which was cleared
last year and adjoins lis large farm at
West Hickory. Good judges estimate
the yield at 20 bushels or upward to the
acre, which is more than the average for
this section, even under more favorable
weather conditions. The Deering people
sold Mr.. S. a reaper on the strength OF
the work of their machine in this new
field.

AT a meeting of the patrons of the
Lecture Course last Friday evening ii
was decided to have three entertainments
at suitable times during the coming fall
and winter. The plans for getting the
work under way are about the same as
were used last year. AS it is not pri-
vate enterprise, but, for public good, the
committee feels that it will have tc
have some encouragement from the citi-
zens. This will be secured through the
circulation of paper to obtain subscri'
bers for the course of three lectures. The
committee appointed to attend to this
work consists of Rev. j. V. McAninch
Prof. r. N. Speer, j. B. Muse and A. w
Richards.
