Wheat is being cut and will make from three to five bushels per acre: a few fields will perhaps make fifteen bushels to the acre. Corn is doing well and with plenty of rain will make an average crop. Early potatoes are small and few in a hill. Oats and timothy meadows are an entire failure, and will not be worth cutting. Rye is a fair crop but the acreage is small. Pastures are dry and a number of the farmers are feeding stock. Garden truck is very scarce and the bad boy will have to go elsewhere to steal his watermelons this year.

The famous law suit of Hollands vs. Wm. Davis and Lambert Smith for work done in a handle factory at Lapland, came up for trial last Thursday for the fifth time. Mr. Houk spoke to the judge for two hours and twenty minutes in behalf of the plaintiff. The judge let him speak till he ran down of his own accord. When Mr. Coppage arose to speak in behalf of the defendants the judge said: "Mr. Coppage I will excuse you from saying anything and give judgment in favor of Smith and Davis." This makes the third time they have won in circuit court.
The oats crop will be very light in this locality. It is heading out some but will be very short and hard to cut with a binder. Timothy hay will be very light and short without some rain to thicken it up. The clover crop is very fine and thick enough but is very short and hard to handle with hay forks. The pastures are drying up and look like the fall of the year. Potatoes will be very short this year as they have about so long to develop in and the time is about up for them. Corn •here nearly all had to be replanted but since then never saw it look better nor cleaner of weeds and with showers there will be a good crop. 1'here is more planted than common. Wheat is very short because of the dry weather, but the grain seems to be all right, the head being of average size and will probably make from eignt to ten bushels per acre.
Rl'SSELLVILLU.

Mr. Stewart, the genial traveling agent of THE JOURNAL, was here this week making friends.
We learn that Robert Straughn and Robert Williams had a little amuse
ment at each other's expense last Tuesday, both getting the worst of it. While W. H. Hicks was very tiusy last Tuesday hauling in a load of provender his neighbors were preparing a visit to his house, but when he had done his work a neighbor proposed to him a trip to Waveland which just suited him. but when returning home at just about noon he began to conclude that something was wrong, somebody must be dead or something dreadful had happened, when his friend quietly informed him that he was just (50 years old, when Mr. Nichols found new light and had the key to the situation, but when he came into his house he eould not storm the current but walked out to cogitate in his garden, and there, oh, well, he just cried, possibly as much as he had done CO years before. Then he returned to his house and all had a good time.

The ice cream supper at Chas. Abbot's Tuesday night was well attended. The Yangtsekiang threshing ring met at Flat Creek and made all necessary arrangements for threshing.
The prospect for crops is not very flattering. Wheat will make 15 to 25 per cent, of a crop corn growing nicely and in good condition early potatoes will not make half a crop meadows are very short, most farmers are pasturing them: blue grass pastures are dried up. There will be plenty of apples but the raspberries are a failure, blackberries will be scarce but pears and plums will be a full crop. Stock of all kinds is in good condition.

Linn, president.
The weather report of this year is not so favorable as last. Wheat will not make a very good crop, owing to the cold winter weather and dry summer weather. Rye is looking fine and will yield well. Oats are cut short by the drouth. Corn will make a good crop. Garden vegetables are somewhat short, owing to the drought, yet some gardens are looking fine. The prospect for all kinds of fruit is good.
