Miss Lulu Crockett returned to her home at Hobart this morning after a short visit here with Rev. and Mrs. Kuonen, of the Barkley church. Mr. and-Mrs. F. P. Meyer, of Danville, who havt been visiting his mother here, left on the 10:05 train for Chicago, and will spend several days on the Great Lakes before returning to their home. Mrs. Sarah Beal left this morning for her home in Macon, Mo., after a visit of about two months with relatives among the Adams and Hoover families here. - A J. W. Phelps was over from Remington this morning. He thinks that the drouth that has been quite general in North Dakota this year will not greatly affect the land business there. It is the first drouth in ten years and the buyer at this time need haye no fear for the future. He expects to conduct a number of prospectors to that country during the next four months.

Peter Hordeman reports a fine wheat run north of town, with occasional yields of 30 bushels to the acre. B. D. Comer and Paul Wiggin each had that average, Mr. Hordeman himself had au average of 25 bushels and in the neighborhood of Aix, the average varied from 20 to 30 bushels. There was doubtltss more wheat raised in Jasper county this year than ever before and it is doubtful if any county in the state is showing a better yield in point of average. Leonard F. Andrews, who has been spending the summer in Rensselaer, has signed for the ensuing year with Harry Green in the Eli and Jane company, which will show in Rensselaer on Aug. 13th. Jess Wilcox will also be with the company again this year. Mr. Green announces that this is the last year of Eli and Jane and that next year he will have an entirely new play. They will travel in the south and southwest this year. Mr. Andrews has been singing at the Princess and has made many friends during his stay here. J. T. Randle and granddaughter, Miss Ruth Makeever, returned Thursday afternoon from their trip to Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma, which started with their departure from Rensselaer on June 9th. They visited Mr. Randle’s three sons, Robert, at Mexico, Mo.; Tom Randle, at Ottawa, Kans., and John Randle, at Mangum, Okla. He found all the sons doing well and the country generally quite prosperous and happy in the prospect of good crops. In western Kansas crops are extra fine and also in northern Oklahoma, but they taper off toward the cotton belt. Mr. Randle was able to be up on the streets soon after his arrival home and seems to be in greatly improved health and the trip doubtless was a great benefit to him. John Randle, who was the last of the three sods to move to the west, is engaged in the livery business at Mangum, having several horses and one automobile for hire. He is enjoying a good business.
