There has been some talk of a C
Democratic ticket being put up.
with the overwhelming endorsen
that Bryan is receiving from all q
ters, it is not likely that, this wi!
done. It ^-ould bo a very foe
thing on the part of the Denioc
to do and would simply be pin;
into the hands of the Republic!
who would no "doubt rejoice tc
such a ticket put up by the Dt
crats.
84 States have declared for
Bryan at the Democratic convent!
This gives him 710 of the DJ10 vol
in the National Democratic Con'
tion and assures his nominat
Bryan has "got the coon and gone
as Tillman used to say. It only
mains for the gathering of the (
gates at Kansas City to ratify
action of the Democrats of the c<

lis A FINF WHEAT CROl*. na
oec
Wo haift; made some inquiries as *ov
to the wheat crop in Union county, mo
Y and while it is too soon to gather tet
exact figures as to the yield, a greater *llc
ixo portion of tho crop not yet having J?-v
been threshed, enough has been ^oc
learned to establish tho fact that no Sei
such a crop has ever beon raised in 5'?'
lion, Union county before, and in view of crc
the fact that the crop in the wheat ^oc
growing sections is so near a failure SU1
as to cause considerable alarm, and nei
il.00 flour is already advancing rapidly as
:ents a result, our farmers are to be con- U1
ints" gratulated upon their foresight in
putting in a good crop of wheat this j
1.00. year. While quite a number are .,
?nts. contending for the ori/.c offered for .
? 1 Tor
nccT the best acre, there are many others ..
not contending for the prize who
} ro. have crops almost as fine. It is to j
f 10- ho regretted that the rains which ^
os. have come since the harvest, has re- j
tarded the curing of the wheat for (
grinding, and much of it in the upper
section has already begun to sprout |
in the shock. It is to be hoped that
t',e . .. .. Co
. we will now havo good weather until tr
iuio ? he
... the crop can he saved.
1,!C0 TT . . P^
ilere is what some of our farmers
, .1 001
say of t he crop :
nn
plat- Mr. Miles Smith, of Pinekney
,, j,v township, planted about 0 bushels of ^
1110 wheat on !> acres, and his vield was
mil
^ jn 102 bushels. Full oats that with- ^
vcrv sl??d the cold weather are line, but (
ling a large portion of the crop was killed, Ro
spring oats are very fine in his see- T
tion.

' ',0 about Santuu and Fish Darn. The
di-h j,rairi c>rop wheat and oats both rj
rals fine, the yield will be 10 to 1") pe5" ]
s in? cent, greater per acre than heretofore, for
ins' and the acreage is 20 per cent, greater. Wf.
? sec wheat about all cut, and threshers roj
M!10' are at work. Su
Mr. J. K. Johnson, of Jonesville, wji
*. J, has a crop that is hard to heat He adt
ons. planted 2 bushels of wheat on one
:ers, piece of ground, used 2 sacks of ^rc
ren- guano, and gathered 1(U bushels of |1CI
ion. wheat. lie also made a very fine the
on' crop of oats. Those he has had Wi
ro. threshed yielded one bushel to the f,e;
K-lc- shock. He has one of the finest cab- w0
tHe bage patches in the county, lie set siK
3un- out 0,(00 plants, and has already j
sold more than $70 worth, of cabbages ro;!
from his patch. A mun who farms w;j
rr' ' this way is in a position to care very jjV(
little about tho fluctuation in the na(
lce price of cotton. Cotton is not king mj|
with him. We long for tho day when t0 |

Jno. Black, about < > years old, sai l ^ v
ina" it was one of the heaviest ho has tj,0
?Lvl seen. The wheat crop is very fine, ar(j
and the oat crop good. But the fro,
ress recent rains have retarded farm work ^hg
the considerably, and tho farmers liavc wjp

ju weeks. The"grass is paining great
( headway. The wheat has begun to g j
3 1& sprout in tho shocks, and unless they
naj can got dry, sunshine weather, v. g
r0_ considerable portion "of the crop will jn j
