Ellis Byington, one of Farmington's
most successful gardeners, had new po-
tatoes from his garden last Friday,
May 2Sth., This, we believe, is some
early production, especially in such a
backward and unfavorable season as
this has been.

Owing to bad weather the public
sale Of fine Hereford cattle, which
had been advertised for yesterday af
ternoon, drew very small crowd, and

Rains continue so frequent as to
very seriously retarded farm work,
which is badly in arrears. Crops gen.
orally are in really lamentabIe con-
dition, and the yield is bound to be
small, no matter how favorable the
season may be from this time for
ward.
Miss Estella Oliaro of Lexington,
Mo-, who enrolled at the Chillicothe

sons parents, Judge and Mrs. J. S.
Clay, and many friends. They will
also visit Mr.. Wilson's parents, Mr..

The squirrel shooting season opened
Tuesday, June LIST, and many started
Immediately, with their guns and dogs,
for the Fairgrounds of that tirnid but
sagacious little animal No ore
should allow themselves to become so
enthused, however, in the pursuit Of
squirrels as to start on the chase for
them without hunting license.
Such an oversight is liable to cause
they to pay well for their sport.

In this issue of The Times will be
found the first Republican announce
ment. 1t is that of James w. White
head, splendid young man of Flat
River, whose single fault, so far as
we know, and as we see it, is his po-
litics. But if that is an error of
judgment, it is no argument against
his correct intentions, which, from
what this paper has heard of him, are
above reproach. His many friends be-
lieve he would make, an excellent con-
stable, who would discharge every
duty of such position without fear or
favor. If the voters of this town
ship should prefer a Republican in
that position there is no other we
would rather see secure this place than
James Whitehead

this county, and is held in high es-
