Ed. Register-No rain of any conse-
quence has fallen on this locality since
August 4th. Consequently we are
needing rain badly.
Though by far a greater area has
been sowed to turnips than ever be-
fore, but comparatively few have ger
minated, and those hat have sprouted
can make but a feeble growth at best
until a ground-soaking rain falls.
Pastures and vegetation of all kinds
are much injured by the desrth of
moisture. Unless we oon are blessed
by eopious rains, stock of all kinds
will. as a rule. enter the winter in
poor condition and will require good
shelter, close attention and plenty of
feed to carry them through the winter
in good order.
Flowing cannot be advantageously
done until much rain falls, as even
swampy places-usually too wet to
admit of being plowed-hsve dried out
deep and are too hard to pillow.
Take it all in all. farmers have at
best q gloomy prospect before them.
/ am now speaking of the most of
farmers. A few, of course, have feed
and money in abundance and are so
situated as to profit by the distress of
the many.
Fruit is scarce and generally small
and imperfect, particularly apples.
No doubt many fruit and forest trees
especially the younger ones-have been
killed by the drouth and the excessive
heat. 1t is said that fully so per cent.
of the fruit trees that were planted in
the 100 acre orchard, near Palmer,
during the past year, are killed.
John A. Ramsey, of Sunlight, passed
through this neighborhood, on the Sd
inst. with a flock of sheep which he
had bought near Red Point.
VIM. r. Wood, of near Tolu, passed
through here on the 11th inst, ON his
way to Ironton, on business.
During the past month the following
nomed stock buyers were out here on
business: Messrs. Winfred Blount, of
near Courtois; Harry Blount, of Poto-
al; Louis johnson, of near Belgrade;
John g. Yount, of near Ironton and
James Reid, of De Soto.

them no injury; not a tariff reformer

Each Democrat in the United States
who cares for the principles of his
party is perfectly willing to unite upon
either the Chicago or the Kansas City
platform. Upon what other grounds
