Wheatfield Hurrygraphs.

Weather cool. Rain storm and rainbow lad evening. The farmers as a general thing have their corn all in the ground and are awaiting results. The Rev. B. F. Ferguson made Wheatfield and vicinity a flying visit last week. He visited the Republicans only of course. The pioneer merchant of Wheatfield, John M. Welsh, is this week engaged in opening up a new and full line of goods, in all departments, having recently received two car loads. James H. Hallett, the merchant who located in Wheatfield not long since, is carrying a full line of groceries in stock, and says Ue will sell them at bottom figures.| Oats are looking fine and doing fine this fine weather. The apple and cherry orchards are a profusion of white and pink and the prospect for a rich harvest is at present flattering in the extreme, providing frost does not commit great havoc. Fishing with spear is the enchanting sport this spring for the boys, the middle-aged men, and in fact, the old men join a hand in the sport occasionally. All have been successful so far, if one fish to half a day’s spearing can be styled a success. However, some few have been successful, Ed. Ingram having speared a sixteen pound “Buffalo,” and several others ranging from ten to fourteen pounds. The Wheatfield Singing Association hold sessions every Saturday night at the Wheatfield school house. These meetings are resulting in much good if current reports are to be credited. Personal. Mrs. J. M. Welsh has just returned from a visit to her and friends in San Pie; re. Miss Mollie Melser is on the sick list this week. Miss |Minnie Lidke has been visiting friends in Judson the past week. John *3. Tilton made a flying visit to North Judson last Friday on business. J. J. Keller, of North Judson,

visited our place last Monday. D Ingram made a trip to Judson last week.
