ground is very dry.
The new bank building is under way.
Mr.. Weber of Reynolds county has
three men, besides himself, at work
on the job. The structure will be Of
brick, 2Ox3O feet. two stories. 1t is
being built on the corner where the
late JOS. G.. GARRISON did business
when a resident of this town.
Huckleberries and blackberries are
about all gone. Hazel uuts will be the
next crop to save. Walnuts are
scarce, as the late frosts ruined them.
White and black oak mast is scarce.
In tie Iowdands there are no apples
and peaches. There is a fine crop Of
peaches on the old Snerod farm, out
on the mountain, between Annapolis
and Lesterville. Parson Colyotte in
forms me that there are, at least cal
dulation, 500 worth of peaches on
that place, of the finest, as fine as ev-
er grew.
Wheat and oats are very good here.
The potato crop is as good as could
be expected, as bugs and worms are
numerous. We may have a fair corn
crop, if we could only get one good
p~our-down.
Fishing with a net ia common on
Black river. More then a thousand
fish were caught in three days on
Black river the past week. The best
of the fish we're taken out of the net
and the others left on the bank for
the flies to eat. 1t looks as though
the game warden ought to get busy.
Kelly & Moss are hauling lumber
from their mill to the railroad to ship.
Cars seem to be scarce.
The porch at Sam Moss house gave
way last night. Fortunately no one
was hurt.
Gus Funk has cut his alfalfa for the
second time this summer. The Sec
ond crop was not SO good as the first,
because of the dry weather.
Chas. E. Bolch went to Bismarck
Sunday.
1t is hoped the price of bread will
come down to five cents soon.
Yes, Mr.. Webb, of the West End, 1
think it would be a wise thing for the
government to purchase the old bat
tie field at Pilot Knob and make it a
national park, and have reunions ev-
cry year for the gray and blue, as we
used to have. And why not use the
Rife Range, near Arcadia? 1t has not
been used for target practice for a
dozen years or more, and would be a
good place for a health resort for the
soldiers.
Lucien Goodman recently bought a
fine mare of L. o. Russell. The ami
NAL had the misfortune to get into a
mesh of barbed wire and cut herself
SO badly that she had to be knocked
in the head last Saturday. People
should be more careful about leaving
wireSying around.
We are looking for more of our SOL
der boys to return soon. E. A. Lloyd
of Annapolis is not yet back. He is
yet in Germany.
D. A. Worley had to make another
trip to Ironton for dynamite to be US
ed in blasting in his well. Alfred
Lloyd, who is putting down the well,
has come across much lead bearing
rock.
AS soon as the Annapolis Mining
Company can locate a suitable spot,
not too far down to the rock, they
will begin work sinking a shaft down
to the mineral.
There was a "wool pulling'' in the
east end of town Saturday on the
street car to Minimum. One of the
participants was from the Walsh tie
camp and the other from Piedmont.
Nobody much hurt. Jealousy.

ley VS.. Lucian Goodman, suit on ac-
count.
