HAD FINE TRIP Rev. T. H. Harman and family have returned from their three weeks’ vacation, which included a motor trip to Wabash, Peru. North Manchester, (’hili, Marion and other places. They report a very fine trip, and a pleasant vacation. North of Laketon, near Lukens lake, they report a strip of territory altout six miles wide, a very fine country, where the entire crop if wheat, oats and about all the corn was destroyed by hail. The best corn seen on the trip was in the Wabash river bottom land, near Peru, and Rich valley. Corn in the black land, west and south of Marion and Gas City is exceptionally good. About Landesville, Van Buren and Warren the corn was looking fine. Good wheat and oat:, show's up about everywhere. Hay seems to show a little better than an average crop. Fruit, does not seem :<> ,be so extensive as was expected earlier in the season. However, at places cherries are wasting on the trees, because of hail. While Decatur has had downpours of rain, little rain tell in the vicinities named, during this time.
