Big Wheat Crop.

The farmers Of the United st ties
are now busy gathering in the big
gest wheat crop in the history of
of the country, aud the call comes
from Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and
every one of the big wheat growing
states for more harvest hands TO
help take care of the bumper crop.
"he wheat crop in this country
has been greater than in many prev.
ious years. The big crop will serve
a good purpose, however, as from
the present indications, the corn
crop will be cut pretty short. The
weather bureaus 10 the different
cities cannot hold out any hope for
lain throughout the present week,
and if the farmers do not get rain
the early corn crop will 90 dowL in
failure. The lale crop of corn is
standing the drouth fine, however,
and if rain falls within the next ten
days there will be good crop from
the late planting. Cotton is still
In good condition, according to the
reports Of the farmers who have
called at this office.

knocked everything and everybody;
no firm or individual has establish

| could to put hIm out of business;
I'd lied about them if I'd had the
courage | have done all could
to keep the town from growing,
and never have | spoken a good
word for it, but instead Pve knock
ed hard and often.
at pains me, . Lord, to see that
IN spite Of my knocking this town
is beginning to grow. Some day |
fear that | will be called upon to
build sidewalks IN front of my
property, and who knows but | nay
have to keep up the street that runs
past my premises. This, Lord
would be more than | could bear.
1t would cost me money though all
I have was made right here in this
town.
Then, too, many people might
come here if this town begins to
grow which would cause me to lose

to keep tins town at a standstill,
