SULPHUR SPRINGS.

Aug. S.-We had fine rain last.
Thursday, which was very badly need
ed. It will spoil many nubbin and
make many bushel of corn and help
the tobacco crop wonderfully.
We had quite crowd from Hart
ford last Thursday in the grove and
drinking sulphur water. There were
twenty-five of them. They came up
on the new railroad early in the
morning and returned the same day
on the night train.
The Democratic convention went off
satisfactorily. The nominees have been
declared and We have good ticket.
One that is worthy of the support of
any man. If we fail to get all the
ticket We will divide with the boys.
We are pretty sure Of part CT the
ticket. If the Democrats will stand
firm and work until the last hour the
victory will be ours.
Our school is being taught by Miss
Maude Shultz. So far she has given
entire satisfaction. A good teacher is
what it takes to constitute a good
school.
Uncle Noble Bean and wife are no
better. They have been almost help
less for the past three years.

been saved, he would have raised
over 20 bushels per acre. Pretty good
