Crojis in Knox county this year are Uie best ever know. Harvesting has already begun, and it is estimated that wheat will average in the northern part of the county, and along the Nio brara valley, at least Ut) bushels io the acre. No damage by either grass "hoppers or drouth has occurred in the county, except in the extreme south ern part, near .Pierce and Antelope counties, where there are only a few settlers. The Millerboro settlement, the greater part of which-is iu Ante S-lope county is the only-port ion which has received any material damage. The Creighton settlement, as was first reported, is not seriously damaged, and will have, an average wheat yield of about 25 bushels to the acre. No time iu the history of the county have crops been more encouraging than at present. (hits will averagiraboTit *0 bushels to the acre, and corn is in ex cellent condition and bids fair to be the largest, yield ever known in this section. Potatoes will be more than the average yield. lU»5ical instruments. NATHAN FORD, Yankton, •UrFACI'S, .u| drei-t. PIANOS, .'•rO ORGANS, .tMiiur anil .tccfl Incorporated Jan- their 1875 W.M.
