A good deal of the fall whest has been threshed. It is turning out )3etter than was at first expected. It will average between twenty and twenty-five bushels per acre. A great deal of it, however, is of inferior quality, and I will not come up to standard weieht. Prices are opening low, with not much prospects for improvement. The oat crop is now nearly all cut, and a good deal of it has been housed.- On the whole it is a most satisfactary crop, being heavy on the grciund and well filled, and will give a good yield. Barley, also, is a good crop, and hes been well saved, so tbat the sample will above the average. Not for years has the e been such a good crop of peas as is being h rvested thia year. They seem, also, to , . tolerably free from the bug. Corn for es silage is now grown very generally in this county, and is found by our farmers to . a profitable and useful crop. The crop his year, although promis- ing fair, is not li ely 'to yield so largely ILO last year, althoug many fields show a • len- did growth. P. tatoes are likely to e a good crop this u ear. On the whole, we have been favorel with a good harvest, and our farmers can isneratulate themselves on a very profitable ear po far. The weather, also, for harvesti g operations, hu been all that could be de ired. I Although the prices for grain -have be a low, the prices for dairy products and all inds of stook have been pend more on sto a d their products for very satiate story, nd, as our farmers de - their profits than they do on selling grain, they do not thus fee the low prices for cerals so much as the would if they were more dependent upon hem. , • If you want the highest price for butter, rth. eggs, and all kinds if produce, call at Dill's, Sea - 1653 -1 MT.

Laura Scott Portet, sixth daughter of the late J. S. Porter, was taken ill two weeks ago last Monday, with what appeared to be a severe bilious attlack. This, for a time, seemed to yield to good care and medical treatment, bat the1appearances of improve- ment were deeeptisfe,..and,after being uncon- scious for abotit thirteen hours, she quietly passed into that slumber from whioh none ever awake. The deceased, who had nearly completed her tseenty-fourth year, was usually the picture of good health and per- fect physical development, this, combined with a bright, cheerful disposition and kind- ly manner rendereq her the joy of the home circle and beloved y all wh,t) knew her. On Sabbath afternoon, at two 'clock, the re- mains were taken o the chiirch, where a large concourse of people had gathered to take part in the very imPressive funeral services, conducted by the pastor, Rev, N.
