Mayor Martin has had considerable
difficulty in securing oil with which to
oil the streets of Shepherdstown. An
order was placed last week. but the COM

Der with another firm, and it is hoped
that the oil will be on hand in week OF

necessary, and the surface oiled will moi
be as extensive as il has been heretofore.

Harvest is almost here. Although the
cloudy weather and frequent rains of the
past week have kept the wheat from
ripenng as fast as it usually does, most
farmers will begin cutting by the first OF
the week. AS rule the wheat is stand
ing well, the rains having beaten it down
but little. Some farmers think that the
grain has not filled as well as was promis-
ed some weeks ago, because there has
been too mnch wet weather. II is thick
on the ground, however. and probably
a good crop will be harvested.
