far IS the number of marriage licenses
ISSUED is concerned That seems to he
the one thing in Boone county which

has been before for many years. Each
rain makes noticeable difference.

The outlook for a good corn crop In
this vicinity at present is very unfav-
orable, but very little of it being up to
the average for this time of the season.
All other crops are good. but with con-
tinued wet weather it will be almost
impossible to get into the fields to har-
west them. The dedication of the
soldiers monument in the Oelwein
cemetery will occur Saturday, July 10.
1t Will be an interesting affair, and
living flag of children will be part of
the program.
Shenandoah.
The big wheat crop of James Worrel,
just west of town. is being cut under
difficulties. Some of it stood in the
water and the ground was all too soft
for the haryesters. Mr.. Worrel tried to
get some old-fashioned cradles to do
the work With. but failing in that he
went at it with scythes. cutting the
grain and carrying ii out to dry places
to shock it. That grain should have
made forty bushels to the acre, and
would if the weather had permitted it
to be harvested property; perhaps it
will, anyway.

downpours of rain, that have resulted
in disastrous floods on river bottoms

Dickinson county has had frequent
showers, but the precipitation has been
damaging to crops only in rare instan-

harvest continue very promising. Even
the occasional fields of corn that We're
nipped by the frost in spots have re-
covered remarkably and indicate that
the damage from that source will be
triflng, if any.
Sac City.
The Methodist Episcopal church,
which is undergoing demolition this
week, in order to make place for the
new brick structure, was the first
church edifice erected in Sac City. 1t
was somewhat remodeled in 1894, when
an addition was built on the north and
the entrance at the front changed to
the tower, but it was not difficult to
the original structure. The |
building was erected during the sum-
mer and fall of 1875, under the pastor-
of Rev. T. j. Barr. Its cost with the
lot and furnishings was $3,2S5.
