We have in stock a large supply of twine and a number of binders. HAMILTON & KELLNER. A. Leopold returned yesterday from a visit of several days with his daughter, Mrs. Leo Wolf, in Hammond, and his sister, Mrs. E. Smith, in Chicago. Mrs. Alfred Copas and daughter, Miss Violet, returned to Belvedere, HI., today, after a visit of two weeks with the former’s sister, Mrs. J. W. Spate and family, at Newland. Rev. W. N. Sherrill, of Cherubusco, was here this week to look after his 20-acre farm, which formerly belonged to W. R. Nowels, near the Grooms bridge. Rev. Sherrill l>as been suffering some from eczema, one of his hands being afflicted. Firman Thompson has . started wheat threshing on his farm and where the wheat had bteen m the shock during the heavy rains it is said to be very damp and to grade off considerably. Eugene Kirk also started threshing and with similar results. A number of farmers are said to be able to get into the fields of wheat and oats today with binders and if we can have several days of dry weather it is the opinion of gram dealers that the damage will not be so i jrreat as at first figured, but it is probable that most of the wheat which would grade as No. 2 if dry will grade down to No. 3 and 4 and bring from 15 to 20 cents per bushel below the No. 2 price. W. C. Babcock, of the firm of Babcock & Hopkins, has been about the county considerably and is of the opinion that the corn has not suffered a loss of more than 15 per cent and possibly not more than 10 per cent. Only the low fields that were under water are seriously damaged.
