W. R. Lee came home from Bluffton last week after closing out a big stock of goods he had purchased. He was about done up with the heat of the closing out Campaign and had decided not to tackle another job before cooler weather, but his 1 resolution was not very firm and he wtas just as keenly on the lookout as he had ever been before and last Saturday he went to Mt. Ayr and closed a deal for the purchase of the W. A. Lyons store, the largest general stock in Mt.Ayr. Lt is th e old Sigler store, in fact, and iu point of location and prestige it is the leading store in that town. I tis not Mr. Lee’s intention to close it out, but to place Sim Wells in charge and to continue the business. Mr. Lyons has a hotel at Ligonianignd wiß go there to take charge/pf it. The stock is to be invoiced Tuesday and Mr. Lee will take charge at once.

Mrs. B. J. Moore and children, Harry, Brook and Elisabeth, and Hemphill, of Rensselaer, and Mrs. Moore’s slater, Mrs. John C. Lowe, of Monon, left 'by auto Sunday for Columbia Oity, where Mrs. Moore has a sister and they will camp out for a week at Dwyner jLake, near Colombia City. The /article published Saturday .to the effect that Firman Thompson had 63. acres of wheat that had made 39 bushels to the acre was not correct. He did not have his grain thrashed out sufficiently to get the average. An authentic statement about the yield will be made within a few days. —£ ' The forecast- for rain looks occasionally as though it might materialize and then the sun breaks through and ft look's as though there is no chance. It is the dryest for this time of the year that it has been for many years and corn is now suffering a great deal. Several farmers jeported Saturday that it was firing on the high land. Pasture land, is parched and all crops are suffering. Reports from Newland state that onions are beginning to suffer, especially the later ones.'

The completion of the new brick street Saturday was delayed by the fact that the brick gave out when only a small place remained to be filled. This was finished this momipg, however, and the cement flushing process Is. going on today. It will probably be about Wednesday or Thursday when the entire street is opened to travel. It is generally regarded to be an excellent street and one that will last aN long as most ot us are here to enjoy it. Order a rubber stamp today from The Republican. .-7. ~
