E0. heGtSJer-On the olst ult an eN-
cellent rain fell here, and on the after
noon of the 6, inst, another good rain
fell in this immediate locality, which
was very beneficial to vegetation of
all kinds.
In many places in this valley, the
farmers will begin cutting wheat this
week. Not in years has the wheat
crop been so good in this locality, but
after some little inquiry and close
observation, | find that the crop OF hay
will be very light In my rambles |
have gone into many meadows and
actually examined them in order to as
certain as nearly as possible what
would be the probable yield of grass.
and | find that the yield will be very
unsatisfactory. In many meadows the
yield of weeds will far exceed the hay;
though this fact will scarcely be OBJ
served by one who looks ove the
meadows as he passes along the roads
near the meadows.
Oats, however, we're never better,
while corn in many places is waist
high, and is growing rapidly.
The crop of early potatoes is now
assured, and the yield will be far
above the average.

ing the time" of holding services at
the Methodist church. | had been in
formed that such change had been
made; hence the statement was made
in good faith. If newspaper corre-

mistakes that get circulated, | don't
know where many Of US would die
when we 60 to.
