Benton County Corn Is Falling Short of Estimate.

Benton Review. Reports from the different parts of the county say the corn this year is very light and will fall short from 10 to 20 bushels per hundredweight by weight of the measurement. John Bowdrs, who owns a large tract of land, living seven miles southeast of town, made a test the finrt of the week and found by taking 75 pounds to the bushel, that this corn would fall short of measurement at least 10 bushels to the hundred. The average yield over Benton county will be between 40 and 50 bushels per acre. On account of the latte season and shortage of buskers, fully two-thirds of the com is yet in the field, something unusual 1 for the courtty, as in a normal season the majority of the corn is in the crib by Thanksgiving.

Another great crowd heard the evangelist preach and sing at the MethJodiiirt church Friday night. Rev. J. McD. Kerr preached upon the subject: “Seeking God,” and showed how important it was-for all men to seek God and become Christians. The evangelists will preach and sing tomorrow at 10:45 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. These will be great meetings and the public is invited to attend. Sufferer from Indigestion Relieved. “Before taking Chamberlain's Tablets my husband suffered for several years from indigestion, causing him to have pains in the stomach and distress after eating.
