returning from the fair.
{FRoM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT
People believe that | am a cores
pondent to the Sheaf and as long as
they believe that I am, why should I
not write few lines? Who is O. T..
N? I see in the Sheaf columns last
week that whole threshing crews
have been afflicted with cholera NOR
bus. But out here there is at least
one man who has not that disease.
1t rained again last Sunday.
Pretty fine weather. Yes, "Pretty"
says so ()
Ole Bystrom returned from the
state fair on Tuesday.
John Swanson started haying on
section Is last Friday.
E. E. Wickstrom had the hind axle
OF his separator broken on Saturday
while moving.
A party Of hunters consisting OF
Albert and John Dahlquist, G. N.
Morekassel and Arvid Boman were
hunting chickens in the north part Of
the town on Monday.
There was quite rabbit hunt on
section Is on Tuesday. The boys
hunted with hammers, wrenches and
shot guns; the latter seemed to be
the least effective. One man came
very near sharing the fate OF the rab-
bits.
The meeting Of Republican club
held Saturday was opened by a bril-
liant speech by Master G. A. John
son, followed by declarations and
speeches, and concluded with music
and singing by August Bystrom. Y.

Rain rain most every day. Last
Sunday it rained from IL a. m. to 5
p. m. steady; never once stopped.
All threshers have been laid up for
10 days and won't do any work for 3
or 4 days more. Some late barley
is in bad shape as some have had to
cut the bands and spread them out
to dry. One day it rains, the next it
is clear, then they will go and turn
the barley over to dry on the other
side, but it rains again before it is
fit to stack and so it has been going
for two or three weeks. Grain on
some stacks begins to grow little as
they do not get dry from one rain to
another. Many cannot pillow, there is
SO much water standing on their fields.
No more than three or four jobs
threshed in the town. It is strange
some people cannot be pleased, as
last May, June and most Of July eve
ry one was wishing for lots Of rain.
Now it is the other way. All are
wishing for it to stop raining. We
have not a large crop, but most all up
this way will have enough for bread
and seed, and many some to spare.
Some had bad luck as the hail ruined
their crop. Mr.. G. M. Wymer is one
of those unfortunate ones; hail ruin
ed his whole crop, so he cut flor hay !;
got it stacked in good shape when our
heaviest rain came and wet it from
top to bottom, completely soaked it.
Then he had to put it on the wagon,
haul it out to the field and spread it
out to dry; it got almost dry when it
rained again. He kept it up SO for a
week or ten days, finally he got it
stacked again, but it is sorry looking
lot Of hay now. Some are not done
haying yet, but cannot hay such
weather, no use to try.
Andrew Christopher has been quite
sick, but is now on the gain.
VIM. Barnekow's thresher is tied up
in Cedar waiting for the rain to stop.
We see a notice Of Mr.. Eddy's
which is up in the post Office here,

our health and the weather will per-
mit,it.
