Hand-Writing On the Wall.

The smile of fortune which is beaming down upon this nation giving us these bounteous crops makes us feel sure that “The Hand is Writing oif the Wall,’’ and that the doom of Germany is sure. Our banner crop of small grains and the promise of a great crop of corn all seem to indicate that we are favored by divine providence. It seems even more sure when we see the promising gardens and vegetables. H. C. Callender brought in a bunch of large fine white onions, of which he has out about five acres which he thinks will yield about five hundred bushels to the acre. Josiah Davisson brought in a single tomato stem that had about four pounds of tomatoes. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex: Merica left a fine large tomato here this morning that weighed one and three-quarters pounds. Laixe potatoes are being displayed in the windows of the city ana it is understobd that a great harvest of spuds is assured.
