Grinnell. July ". G. Preston and
family left yesterday morning for
Clear Lake, at which pleasure resort
they expect to spend the next two
weeks.
Collections were taken in the
churches of this city on Sunday last,
as per previous announcement, for the
aid Of the cyclone sufferers of Millers-
burg, Ill.,. who were so prompt in their
unsolicited efforts to relieve the suf-
ferers of Grinnell from the same cause
in 1882. But the attendance at the
churches was small, after the excite
ment of the national holiday prece ling,
and there are many who have not yet
been reached who would doubtless be
glad to contribute something in answer
TO this appeal. Mayor Wiley has
called upon the people to leave their
gifts for this purpose at the Savings
Bank where they will be united with
what has already been collected and
forwarded to the needy very soon.

ity of Des Moines, but will not apply
to the country about Grinnell. Within
a radius of six miles around this city
are thousands of acres of corn prac-
ticasly "knee high" and many field

the fact that the corn is of excellent
color, and has been enabled by the
cool rainy weather to get very strong
root and there is little to fear regard
ing the crop if there be good weather
for corn growing for the next two
months, and the frost holds off until
the usual time in the fall. The only eN-
ceptions to this condition are on very
fiat lands, where the water stood so
long as to stunt the, corn and practice
ally drown it out The hay and grain
crops could hardly promise better than
they do at present writing.
