First Bloom of Season.
Editor The Times:
The firsttotton bloom We have
seen this season appeared on
Dave Gibson's farm on the 10th
inst.
The sick, Mr. Sam'l Boyd and
the infant of Dave Gibson, are
no better at this writing.
Up to this time there has been j
no response to the call for hoe
hands. Never mind, we may
have a game of "bridge" this
summer, if our old ones wash
away, and you may come to j
that. Splinter.

Look Out for Them.
An exchange says that from ,
different parts of the country
come stories of a swindle sue- '
cessfully worked on farmers who <
thought they were going to get
cheap groceries. Two smooth ;
strangers w ent through the com- j
munities taking orders for a
house in Chicago, pretending to ;
sell a standard brand of sugar i
and Hour so cheap that every '
farmer visited took $10 to $00
worth, and other things besides.
Because of the low prices the
Hour and sugar had to be "paid :
in advance." It is alleged that
in one con)munity the swindlers j
picked up some $3,000?and no
groceries delivered.
