OF our stores for potatoes of last years crop to
supply customers, as new potatoes from the
west are scarce and prices very high. In this
vicinity the drouth has greatly diminished the
yield of early planted potatoes. One man got
only IS bushels from an area which should h we
produced 100 bushels. At present it looks as
though produce of all kinds will bring high
prices, thus compromising, in some degree at
least, for the shortage in leading crops.

and when the sheriff went to the house where
he had been stopping found that his man was
out berrying and waited three hours for his
return. He made no attempt to escape arrest
and it is safe to say that he will have no op-
portunity to break Jail a2ain. It appears that
Hicks began his COW stealing in Warren, where
he was employed for some time. When he got
ready to leave he stole = COW which he sold for
