Harvest. —The wheat harvest , has commenced this week. But a small crop was sown last fall, but our farmers report the best yield of wheat they have had for several yeari, and that of a superior quality. The Fourth passed off pleasantly and quietly. The Picnic on the County land was quite largely attended. Messrs. Bobo, Studabaker and Heller were the speakers, and spske in the order named. We have not space for a more extended notice. The Convention.—Our columns are crowded, to the exclusion of other matter, with the proceedings of the Democratic National Convention. Owing to a failure of the mail, on Wednesday, We are unable to give Tuesday’s proceedings. Wednesday’s proceedings closed with the 18th ballot, with Hancock ahead, but those who pretend to know, think he will in no event be nominated.— Hendricks was gradually gaining at the close. Jay County Radicals.—The Radicals of Jay County, in convention assembled, endorsed the Radical State and National platform. If friend Jones dont get split up to his neck in trying to spread himself wide enough to stand on the financial planks of both platforms, he will prove himself a better performer than he has credit for. Be carefid. Ratification Meeting.—The Central Committee arc making o preparations for a meeting Saturday night to ratify the nomination made by the National Democratic Convention, in an appropriate manner. All those who aprove the nomination are invited to be present. Speaking, music, ballopp ascension and a general jolification will be the programme. MARRIED. July 4th, at the residence of the bride’s father, by the Rev. N. D. Shackleford, Lieut. John Blood, of Allen county, to Miss Maggie McConnell, of this county.

It was one of the old time weddings that have nearly become obsolete in this day and generation, and which, for that reason, will long be remembered by those fortunate enough to be present. The young couple have our best wishes that their journey down the stream of time together will be as pleasant as their fondest anticipations have painted it BUSINESS NOTICES.
