Crops.—From all <|# rters of the
county we get the most encouraging
crop reports. Wheat is rusting, but
some experienced planters think that
partial••rops will ■still la* made. The
prospect^ for an immense yield of
oat* were never so fair. Stands of
corn are g< <><l and it is growing
%
la*autifully. Some c mplain that the
stands of cotton are being injured by
the drying out •of plants noon after

time, and the outlook is altogether
lovely.

'leer mr. edit r: •
i have been asked to tite up a re
cent wedding which was hell in flat
rock last week and i will do »o. the
. . .. ...... society c. rryp. indent who has far-
I u^ter think that the man whot , i L j . ...
merly looked after weddings and
invented the alarm clock was the
wonderfullest man in the world, but
I have changed my mind. The guy
who can take 3 cent* worth of sugar
and 2 cent* worth of chocolate and 1
rent worth < f nuts and make a pound
of candy and sell it for $l.f»0 is not
fune rals-ansiforth i a rhA in b«d with
a doctor and the flu, so i will take her
plae ( . this time as followers:
smith-brown nuptihi*. —
bne of the prettiest weddings that
only a genius; he's a magician ssj^*' !**cn pulled off in our midst for
well.
— And igain, the man or woman
who can u-e 1 cent’s worth of wheat
straw and 2 cents worth of ribbon
and 3 cents wonh of analine dye and
1 cent’* wi rth of thread, and shape
th,. rues* into something that resem
ble* a funnel, then mash it on the
b ttom and squeeze it on the top and
twist'rt in the mlth le—and call it a
"Spring Hat A la Parseine”—and
eel I it for $19.98, is H miracle ami
ought to be arrested and put in jail.
Furthermore, the trust that can
force a faimer to sell “IT," his to
bacco, for three cents a pound,, strip
it from the stems, mellow (?) it in
ultra violet rays, age it (for 2 \\eeks)
in a hogshead, .'hatter it into small
particles, wrap a little skin of white
tissue paper around it and sell it
back to the faimer under the name of
cigarettes—for 3 dollar* a pound is
a most remarkable organization—
and should be loved by all whom it
rob-.- We must trust the tiust?.
Yet, the politician—the ^self-made
politic bn— raisedi betw een the corn
rows (punkin-like)—the poor man’s
friend—the famous hill killer—the
saver of the country—the gentleman
who make s th e tax laws, but pays no
taxes—the .tax-reducer and the ex
pense booster—is a great man while
he’s running for office and an uirhag
after he’ s elected—Still —we vote for
him and tear our shirts for him, and
hope, mebbe finally, at last, possibly
—we have elected the right man, but
he, like most of the others, proves to
be a c’ud when he falls amidst the
lobbyist?.
