Bridgewater, Aug. 1.There will be
mo failure Of crops in southern Iowa
this year. Two weeks ago partial
failure was feared on account OF con-
jtinued drouth, but the copious rains
have given assurance Of a records
breaking yield of corn. Much Of the
small grain is already in bins and the
yield and quality of the wheat is great
5iy beyond the average. Oats were
slightly damaged, but fair crop. The
acreage OF corn seems greater than in
previous years and the deep green lux
suriance of the fields attests its quality
and promises full cribs for the autumn.
One good old gray-bearded Bryanite,
gazing across his fields, informed me
that Billy Mckinley sent that air rain
jest In time"
The season for newspaper reports Of
poisonirgs by the toothsome wild par-
snip and the counterfeit mushroom are
fairly on. One family Of six near Kent
ate freelyeof toadstools and the tricky.
Georgia watermelon and as conse-
quence Kent physician labored long
and successfully to keep them on this
side of a glorified hereafter. The only
one to escape poisoning was an infant
in arms. But the next issue of the pa
per will record a similar case. Why is
it that certain people are born with a
craving for wild parsnips and toad
stools?
Kent, by the way. is improving rap
idly and will build this summer hand
some ard substantial church 40xSO in
dimensions. 1t Will be occupied by the
Christian denomination.

State politics interests many Adair
and Union county republicans, notably
Messrs. Martin and Morrow who are
Presidents respectively of these counties.
Morrow seems to have the undivided
support and affection of his home town,
Alton, as much thru personal liking as
from political bias or affiliation. Down
at Alton they scout the suggestion that
Morrow is a corporation candidate. DR..
Lander, Who has represented Union
county in the assembly and is wdthal
one of the brightest and smoothest poll
ticians in the state besides being a gem
tleman and scholar, declares that
Morrow neither asks nor accepts favors
from corporate hands. But what the
doctor does not know of %. plans and
secret hopes it will be found useless to
Task any one else about, with the posi-
| BILE exception of Mr. Blythe. And there
your arc Morrow's friends really be-
lieve he will receive the nomination.
In Adair there is among republicans a
noticeable undercurrent inimical to
Martin. They argue that he was beaten
on his record by a democrat among a
voting population with 400 majority.
s.Old Bill Dwinell. who kind of keeps"
a hotel at Fontanells, voiced this sen-
timent thus: Said he. Its like it wuz
when run fer jestice of the peace.
They started a story on me that I'd
stole a pig and they come ID near to
proyin' Of it,, So some republicans
think Martins nomination would
weaken the ticket here. In his home
town of Greenfield his support is un-
lquestionably strong and Morrow is a
personal favorite with the people.
