likely that the majority Of the oat
fields in the country will be leyeled
by the latter part Of next week. Mer-
chants throughout the county report
the sale Of more binders this year
than in any previous year for some
time past and the sale OF grain
cradles has also increased in proper
tion. There is not the slightest doubt
but that the York county oat and
wheat crop this year is by far the
largest since the Civil war.

wind storm Tuesday night. A large
oak tree in front Of the Thompson

Carolina & North Western passen-
ger train No. 8, left the track q short
distance south Of Delphos station
Wednesday morning and as q result
OF the derailment, did not reach
Yorkville until about 8 o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon. All cars and the

up for a considerable distance. For
tunately none Of the cars turned

passenger train has left the track in
the past few weeks.
Aid for Needy Schools.
There are a number Of schools in
York county in need Of repairs in the
way Of new furniture and re-paint-
ing Of their school buildings. Some
are not financially able to extend the
school year as long as they would
desire. There Is state fund for
needy schools which is at the disposal

Slow in Planting Corn.
There are scores ana scores of
farmers throughout the country who
have not finished planting their corn
and who very likely won't complete
the task before the latter part of
next week. Many Of them are wait
Ing on the moon to get right before
planting and others haven't planted
for the reason that they have had
80 many other things to do that they
no doubt that lots Of corn will be
planted in York county this year, in
fact, many farmers say that the corn
acreage will be at least one-third
greater than that of last year.

Unusual Insect Depreciation.
There is considerable interest in in
| sect ravages Of a peculiar nature In
the wheat fields Of Mr.. ]. E. Gettys on
Yorkville r. F. D. No. 4. According
| to information given to the reporter,
the wheat has been attacked in the
heads and three heads out Of four
have been destroyed down from the
tops to half or three- e-quarters Of their
length. Some observers think that the
injury was probably caused by hail;
but most C" those who have made
lon that the blight Is unquestionably
the work Of insects that they are un-
able to identify.
Courthouse Furnishings.
Work Of furnishing the new court
house Is progressing rather slowly,
due to delay In shipping the furni-
| ture which comes from various
places and by various routes Mr.
w. 8. Wilkerson Of the courthouse
commission, said yesterday, that the
in connection with the furnishings,
had been destroyed in a wreck while
in transit and since this material
will have to again be cut according
to specifications, 1t is very doubtful
whether the building will be turned
over to the county as early as had
been expected.
Busy With Tax Executions.
Sheriff Brown and Deputy Quinn
are now busy with the record Of de-
linquent tax payers; trying to es-
tablish the place where they now live,
whether dead or alive, etc. There are
as already mentioned in The Enqui-
rer, more delinquent tax payers this
year than during any previous year
in quite while. There are many,
however, who have moved out Of the
county and therefore the taxes against
them cannot be collected. It is quite
likely that the number Of sherif's
sales Of property to cover payment
Of taxes will be larger this year than
usual.

ed the appointment, trustees Of the
