Harvesting has begun here.
The wheat crop 'is almost an entire
failure. Some farmers in this locality
cut and shocked a part of their crop,
some none, while others offered to
take a quantity of wheat equal to the
seed they sowed last fall for their
entire crop. One man who cut his
wheat told the writer that ho thought
It would not pay him to have' it
threshed and he had concluded to use
it for feed.
The corn crop, despite the abundant
rainfall, will, it is now bolievod, be
quite light, owing to what some call
the "wire-worm" that cuts tho tap
root of the corn plants.
The rains during the past month
have done much to improve the growth
of grass, consequently meadows,
though very weedy, will yield well.
In many cases quite rank growth of
grass abounds, and if cut while the
weeds aro in bloom, will yield a large
quantity of good foed. Oats are un
usually good; generally clean, tall and
with well-filled heads.
On the 14th inst., Marion Nolson, of
Boss, Dent county, Mo , passed
through here in pursuit of three mon
who had stolen two of his horses. On

ing lost the trail of tho thieves. Soon
afterwards the horses passed through,
also homeward bound. It Is thought
that the thieves deemed it best to turn
the horses loose after enjoying a ride
on them.
