Personal Mention.
Special Correspondence to the TIMES.
CHEswoLD, Oct. 6:-The heavy rain
of Sunday last was further set back
for farmers in preparing the ground
and seeding their wheat. Only a few
in this vicinity have yet sowed any
wheat. There is fear and already some
talk of spoiled corn and damaged fod-
der in the bunch. Farmers troubles
with wet weather and our town people
horror of empty coal bins are holding
first places in the minds of our people
today. The sympathies of the larger
portion of our people seem to be with
the miners. Those who have wood
here are troubled to keep up with their
orders at $5 per cord delivered.
