for a trip east and north. They
will go by way of the Great
Lakes and st. Lawrence river to
Boston, and come home by way

The wheat outlook could not
be better. 1t is all good, in fact
there is not a bad piece of wheat
in the country. Cherokee county
has in more than $4,000 acres,
and if it averages 20 bushels to
the acre; and it will, it will mean
approximately a million and a
half bushels. And the oats look
good, too.

Geo. Kelsey returned last week

Kansas City locks perfectly nat
ural.

music at intervals during the

his farm out on Route 4, and

The News gang is tired al
ready this week. Job work has
worn us all out, or very nearly
so, and the paper, too, has, of
course, had considerable atten-
ton. Why, one man wanted us
to get him out some work Sum
day, but the call of the country
was too strong, and most of the
gang went out to see the COW
slips and wheat. But come on
with yonr work. We have the
stock, we know how, and we will
satisfy you.
