paration and were well delivered.
The class history and prophecy by

was propably the best that has been
given by any local talent in this city,
and several members of the cast
showed great possibilities along that
line. The parts were we'll commit

and earnest work on the part of each
individual. Much credit should be
given to Mr.. Edgar A. Brazelton
who has superintended the play.
The play was given again Saturday
night at Nashville, and neat sum
was added to the high school ath-

Crop Bulletin

For the week ending June 5,
1904. The week ending the morn
ing Of the 18th was warm, and
generally favorable for cultivation
of corn and growth of all crops.
The showers that fell OH the after
noon and night of the 9th were very
beneficial in three-fourths of the
state, but considerable damage re-
suited from extremely heavy down
pours in the Mississippi valley from
Clinton to Keokuk, in large part
of the southeast district, and in
scattered localities in the central
and south central counties. The
principal damage to crops resulted
from flooding the lowlands and
washing the cultivated slopes. The
general conditions of corn outside
of the flooded portions of the state is
fairly good. Numerous reports in
dictate that the small grain crops are
making rank growth on rich and
fiat lands. The clover crop is also
becoming bulky, and haying opera
tions will begin quite early. Pola-
toes, garden vegetables and small
fruits are doing notably we'll. The
apple crop is still promising fair
yield in the northern half of the
state, and more than half crop in
the southern half.
