A well-informed Community. -Farmers
Jubilant.--K. of L.
The people of this community
ought to bo exceedingly well in
formed as there ure distributed ut
this office over one hundred copies
of the different periodicals of tho
day. The county pupers of course
ale in the lead, there being sonio
sixty copies sent to this point.
This we think speaks weil for the
community, and shows that our
county papers aro highly apprecia
ted.
Tho farmers aro feeling pretty
jubilant, having liad good ruins
hist week. The crops uro looki;;^;
very promising nt this writing. Wo
learn however that the rains did not
extend very furbelow here and that
the crops ure suffering to u conside
rable extent. We think there is
tile best prospect for it good crop wc
have over seen, und with a contin
uance of seasons to suit, wo seo no
reason why our county should net
be in a much better condition than
for several years.
Wo have some rumors of Knights
of Labor organizations, nut hardly
think it will amount to anything
serious.
lt seems to us the thing has boen
advertised rather too extensively
any way.
