The yield is not as good as was expected earlier, the heat being responsible to a large extent, the weather being excessively hot at a time when cool weather was needed j for the heading grain. The oats are lof good color but lack weight. They j run from twenty-five to twenty-eeyen pounds to the bushel and from reports i will make from 25 to 40 bushels to the acre. The local elevators are paying 36 cents per bushel today. Last year the price was around 30 cents at this time. The extra price this year will help to make up some for the smaller yield. All accounts are payable at my office to Miss Morgan.—Dr. C. E. John- j son. Aieoording to press dispatches the militia stationed at Mercedes, Texas, j were given their first pay day tfester- | day, but the pay was only for the i time they were in camp at Indianapo-1 lis.
