Special Correspondence to the TIMES.
KENToN, July 11:-Farmers are
tions which has much interfered the
past week with wheat threshing. Many
had hoped to be through by this time
but wet weather has called halt and
the progress made is very slow. But
comparative few have been able to
move their grain. Unless the weather
becomes settled long enough for
threshing, there is fear of much dam
age to grain for some farmers report
that wheat is already growing in the
shock.
Referring to the recent death of Mrs.
Ida Walker Clark, wife of Nehemiah
CLARK of Easton, Md, and daughter,
Mrs. Mary Walker of this town, which
occurred at Brooklyn, while on visit
to the family of James B. Clark, the
Easton Gazette pays the following
tribute:-"It is a very sad bereave-
ment to the husband-a man more es-
teemed and respected does not reside
in Easton-and hosts of devoted
| friends feel the loss most keenly. Mrs.
| Clark was a woman of noble mind and
lived beautiful Christian life-a life
that has been an example to many.
Her good works have been many and
will live after her for years to come.
She was a consistent member of Ebe-
nezer M. E. Church, and was ever
ready to advance its welfare in every
way. Her death will leave a vacancy
that cannot or will not be filed. 1t is
a comforting thought to her friends
that her life has been such that now
every thought of her will be g. sad but
beautiful memory"
Our rural mail carriers were disap-
pointed receiving no notice that they
would be given holiday on the Fourth
but we understand it was an oversight
on the part of the Postmaster General.
We are glad to see our constable, W.
H. Wallace out again after being con.
fined to the house for several days.
Some of our young folks left yester.
day morning for Smyrna Landing
