Davenport Democrat: There is
every probability of a late fall. The
law of averages, taking into account
the unusual GOODNESS of the earlier
part of the spring, the GOODNESS OF
the cary summer, the way the whole
season has is dragged in the matter
of temperature, and the unusual
rainfall, is naturally likely to give
us warmth and sunshine in the
months of August and September
and on into October. There will be
a chance for corn to mature, and
possibly for second cutting OF hay,
on many fields, by way of making
good the first crop, which has been
largely lost through being wet in
the process of curing. An early
frost and winter are not to be ex-
pected, and if they do not come this
will yet be good crop year. The
chances ars strongly with the
farmer and those who depend ON
him.

Omaha Bee: There is no doubt
that there is now practical unanim-
ity among republicans throughout
the country in favor Of making
President Roosevelt the cndandidate
in 1904. The attempt to make appear
that some of the republican leaders
were unfriendly to him utterly
failed. No republican of prominence
and influence with the party has
shown hostility to Mr.. Roosevelt,
and the attitude toward him of such
leaders as Foraker and Plat, who
earnestly urge that he should be
nominated, amply attests the good
standing of the president. That he
has the respect and confidence OF
the rank and file Of the party is
unreasonable. The republican
masses sec in Mr.. Roosevelt an able.
honest and courageous executive,
who knows his duty and his respon-
sibilities and does not hesitate to
take the course (which he believes
to be wise and right.

OF course, he simply did.--his duty,

An exchange says: 1t all depends
on how you do it. Down in Georgia,
while our glorious Democratic party
was having a state convention and
a typical love feast, a brother arose
and proceeded to remark that MIR.
Cleveland is an arch traitor. Then
things were doing for fifteen
minutes. Up in Wisconsin the
Republicans spoke feelingly OF Their
love and admiration for Senator
spooner, and after he had been
sweetly commended and indorsed,
they gently picked hm up by the
nape of the neck and dropped him
down in an exceedingly deep and
dark hole, from which he is at
perfect liberty to extricate himself
as he can. There was no loud talk,
no bitterness no turmoil to be tele-
grahped over the country to disrupt
the party; just few kind words,
then a splash and all was over.
Wherefore, we remark, it all depends
on how you do it.

RANSOM.

Last week we had fine weather
for haying, and many in this
neighbohood finished before the
rain. Hay is good crop this
season, and there is promise. too,
of penty of straw and corn fodder
All things considering, perhaps there
are few sections more favored than
our own.
Six applications for. bounty for
tree planting were sent in this year
from this town. Perhaps there may
have been more, but there were at
]esast that m any. Few things add
more to the appearance of a plailie
home than do a few trees. And
they are not only ornamental but
useful as we'll, as they give much
n eeded shelter from the cold winter
winds, and also furnish fuel for use
in summer. There are but few
homes here now without more or
less shelter.
Harvest has commenced and we
shall soon be in the midst of it. I
hear of one farmer who began cutt-
ing early oats on the 10th, and others
have been starting in almost every
day since. If we have a few weeks
of good weather now, we shall
harvest a very fair crop. Some
pieces of wheat are rusted rather
badly and probably the yield will be
rather bright; all other grain, how
ever, is looking well, and, so far, is
standing up nicely.

people settled in Nebraska in the
early days, and grew up with the
country; and today where once
stood the lonely settlers cabin,
there are comfortable rural homes

How many have made the stake OF
their lives in just this way!
The news has just came to us OF
tie death of Loren Town, son Of j.
A. Town of Worthington. The
sympathy with the bereaved family
will be very general, for there is
hardly a man in Mobiles county that
does not know J. A. Town. He
has been right here with us and ono
of us from the very first settlement
of the country. This unexpected
death reminds us of the uncertainty
of human life, and how the best
laid plans may be frustrated, the
brightest hopes Blasted. But the
dark days do not last always, and
when they are past and gonewe can
look back and see some bright spots
even amid the gloom that then sur
rounded us, there will be little
incidents of those days that we shall
remember with quiet pleasure.
Everv cloud has it's silver lining.
