Walter Jordan was among the heaviest losers, practically all of his corn being killed. Potatoes and beans also suffered considerable. W. C. Rose began cutting his wheat Wednesday. Several fields of rye have been cut. Oats will be very short-on account of the dry weather. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bussell have received a letter from Private Edward Peregrine, Bat.E, 159th Field Artillery, France, dated May 31, in wihicli he says he is still in the base hospital as a result of the gas poisoning. It seems that such poison when inhaled in any quantity makes the outcome very uncertain. But we all trust Ed will come home the same strong man he was when he went away. ’ „ _ _ S. E. Cook has bought of G. AJ. Infield, all the latter’s McCoysburg' property including the store site and blacksmith slhop. Mr. Cook started at once erecting a new store building where the last one 1 burned on March 23rd, and same will be ready in about a week, which will relieve the much congested Quarters in the old building now used for a store.
