The farmers who are delivering corn |
TO Bakers corn cannery have had all |
kinds Of trouble during the past week.
The continuous rain fall made it almost
impossible to get out OF the fields with a
load of corn and bad the wet weather
continued few days longer much OF the |
corn would have been too old for canning
purposes, owing to the fact that it could |
not be gotten out OF the fields.
During the past few weeks chicken
thieves have robbed several hen roosts
in our town. On Saturday night they
entered tile hen house of Mrs. Ellen |
Stanger, on West Main street, and carried |
away several fine fowls. They returned
on Sunday night TO rob Mr.. S. f. Lewis; |
coop who resides next door, but their
presence was detected, and Mr.. Lewis
fired several shots at the robbers who |
left without their plumber. Owners of |
chickens are now keeping close watch
.on their hen eoops and someone is going
to get shot If the robberies continue.
The summer is swiftly passing; it will |
be remembered as the record breaking
summer. The farmers have suffered |
heavily from loss of crops, but they have
been so highly favored with good crops
in the past that this has been exceptional,
and under the circumstances they
must expect, like the merchants, to meet
with loses in some years Of their business.
AS class the farmers have been pros
perons, not liable to the fluctuations
which merchants and business men ex-
perience when all their capital is in
vested. Yet they are both dependent on
each other.
