In talking with several farmers in
this vicinity the past week, in regard
to the damage did by last Thursday
nights frost, there seems to be
varied difference of opinions. Some
say their corn was not hurt aud that
they will harvest one of the best crops
of corn in years. Then there are
those who claim their corn was dam
aged by half and so on. Summing it
all up there will not be much room
for complaint.
