The puclic sale held yesterday ~
Lee Thompson's farm wss not very
well attended, owing to the busy -
son, and consequently the bidding
was Of desultory nature, though ms-
ny things brought sll they were
worth.
We were not strictly up to date In
our statement, made in another col
umn, that threshing would begin next
week. II has already commenced and
the first car Of new wheat was loaded
here Yesterday. The wheat Is Of the
very best quality.
To allow large quantities OF water
run down the roadside for miles while
there are farmers further down the
ditch who are complaining because
Of the scarcity Of water looks almost
like unnecessary extravaganza, and
something should be dore to prevent
1t.
Talking about fine gardens, there
are none in this vicinity with any
larger area, any thrIftier In appear
ance, or in better state OF cnltiva-
tion than that Of w. B. Padley. two
miles east of town. 1t Is indeed
fine sight to behold and furnishes a
living example OF what our soil will
produce under intensive cultivation.
Our Horse creek correspondent did
not report last week-probably en-
ioyed the Fourth too thoroughly. We
arc informed, however. that the pic
mic held In the cool shade Of Mike
Conley's grove was pronounced sue
cess. A good sized crowd was present,
in fact nearly all the inhabitants Of
the creek gathered there and spent
very pleasant day. A dance in the
evening was one Of the best features
Of the days pleasures.
Steps are being taken by the citi-
zens of Holly toward holding a Har-
vest Home Festival here some time
this fall. The idea is receiving the
hearty approval and encouragemento
everybody, and the success Of such an
affair cannot be doubted. In this
year OF bountiful crops Of all kinds.
1t Is very essential, in order to bring
the wonderful productiveness of our
country more prominently before the
great mass Of people who are seeking
homes In the west, that we do some
thing OF this kind. 1t will also i'm.
press more vividly upon the minds of
our own people the possibilities OF the
country In an agricultural way.
Every farmer and gardener in this vi
cinitv should bear In mind that this
fair or festival. whatever 1t may be
called. will be held and begin to save
up samples Of their products to place
on exhibition.
In the lazy DAYS Of mid summer
when bodily and mental energy are at
their lowest ebb, the chief demand is
to be entertained, and this has been
well considered in preparing the Au-
gust number OF The Delineator. In
the fiction presented. three more d.
verse styles could hardly be imagined.
Francis Lynde's story Of Love and Ad-
We nture, with the scene laid in Color
ado, is in his happiest vein. Cornelia
Atwood Pratt's dainty sketch,
Clothes and Woman" is one that
has u telling title, as every woman
will confess, while the Oberlin Tales
stories founded upon college exper-
fences In Oberlin. Ohio charm by
their very naturalness. Eliot Grego-
ry's concluding paper on the Faris Ex.
position. In the August number Of
The Delineator. is full Of life and
brightness, and dull must be the i'm
agination that cannot accompany him
