The wet weather has made the crop come out wonderfully, although there are some weeds in the fields. Other fields are clean and will yield t a big crop of fine timothy. Farmers are expecting h good price on account of the almost total failure of the clover crop. One great drawback has been the heavy fains. So many showers coming close together did not allow the hay to cure properly. Clean hay that ia properly cured without any rain will bring a good price. If the oats blades are damaged as much as the farmers "think that will be another cause of keeping the hay at a good prlpe.

BOUCHELLE WF Dr. L. B. Bouchelle of Thqmasville, Ga., a physician well knoSvn in the South, is very enthusiastic over tha. cod liver oil preparation Vinol. He Says: “I have used Vinol in’my family and in my general practice with the most satisfactory results. It is exceedingly beneficial to those-afflict-ed with bronchial or pulmonary diseases and to create strength.” The reason Vinol is sb far superior to old fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions, is because it is a real cod liver preparation from which all the useless oil has been eliminated and tonic iron added. We ask every weak, thin, rundown, nervous and aged person In town, and all those suffering from chronic colds, coughs and weak lungs, to try Vinol on our guarantee.' SMITH, YAGER A FALK. Z

Beery are planning an extended trip into Canada, Windsor ffieing'the objective point A letter has been received from John Conter who is’ now located at Pitsburg, Pa,, stating that he\upected to arrive in Decatur some time the first of next month and make a short visit. Mr. Conter has been in the east for four year and this will (tp his first visit home. Henry Burr has returned from Cardwell, Missouri, where he has been cutting timber for the past eight months for the Allison Land company. Mr. Burr is looking fine and says the country is fine. He will remain here for several weeks with relatives after which he will return there and resume his work. William Roop, of Blue Creek township was in our city today and informs us that he has completed his threshing and that he realized eighteen bushels to the acre, which was far above his expectations- Although the wheat Is not of the best quality it is better than he expected owing to the conditions of the weather during the past several months. Attorney David E. Smith received ejinbs uiojj 3u)ujom u John Ault, of Jefferson township, apprising him of the fact that he had rendered his decision in the replevin suit brought' by Sixby Gramme & Cp., by finding against the plaintiff.

Mr- Simcoke’s wife is with him on this pleasure trip. From the reports that come from the north central part of town there is a man living in that neighborhood that is deserving of being prosecuted to the full extent of the law for cruel”ty to animals. He has repeatedly beaten his horse shamefully and the neighbors are becoming indignant over it. Should he not discontinue, hl4 brutality he will no doubt be given a sample of the law. The formation of the Indiana-Ohio league has practically killed semi-pro-fessional ball in the state, and a glance at the spotting columns of the daily papers will show that-the Never Sweats flimflammed the Horseshoes, the Invincibles played rings around the Naps, the Spiros played havoc with the Wanderers, the All-Stars defeated the Moonshiners, the Sluggers were wiped off the earth by the Hitless Wonders and the Trolley Dodgers were snowed under by the Dog Fennell team from Boone county. Not a wheel has turned in the justice courts in connection with either the cases against saloon-keepers for violations .of "the Nicholson screen law or the cases against merchants on charges of violating the pure food law for several days. Although there are many cases yet to be heard in both instances no date for trial has been set for any of them. erith one exception.

These people were a far better class of people than have been in our city for some time in that line of business. The state manager, F. J. Noethen, was with the boys here and he, as well as the rest of the boys, seemed very much refined.

The building of the roads will create a big demand for money and the market will be flooded with gravel road bonds. Just now there is some speculation as to what effect the large number? of bonds will have on the market.. There is danger that many of the bonds may go begging f.nd in this case the contractors will have to take the bonds themselves. The bonds bear 4% per cent interest..

Yesterday’s Chicago Record-Herald devotes a page to Walter Wellman and the fortunes of his north pole expedition, and gives a praphlc account, written by Mr. Wellman, of a tornado that sweept over Danes Island, the starting point of the party, on July 4th- The huge frame balloon house came near being blown from its foundations and destroyed and it was a trying time for the explorers, and all of them worked hard to prevent a disaster. Mr. Wellman has the following to say of Dr. W. N. Fowler, the Bluffton man serving as surgeon' to'th eexpedition :. “Major' Hersey and Dr. bowler were invaluable. In fact, every man of ’the staff or working force did his best.” For the first tinfe' frf five years, at so early a time in the season, Frankfort is without a base ball team' and that after tlie city was the first in the state to support a-salaried ball team and had played A salaried team for five years, being in the bame for almost two years before the interest in the state was worked up to that point where other cities put in a paid team of players. In the formation of the league that made it necessary to disband, the Frankfort team of this city was not treated right by those back of the movement and it is feared that their actions, whether intended or not, have given base ball here a serious setback. —-Frankfort Crescent. ■ -o A Certain Cure for Aching Feet.
