HAD A FINE RAIN.

Fortune is surely smiling on the farmers in Ibis community Ibis year. Already there has matured one of the very best wheat and oat crops in the history of the county. The oats are cut and the wheat is being threshed. Corn ds making rapid strides and is now most forward and promising. The hot weather, the theremometer reaching 100 in the shade Thursday, is giving it the pep and the bountuous rain Thursday evening is putting Old King Corn in a class with the Yanks in its endeavor to get the Kaiser. Evidently there is reason to believe that if there did exist a partnership between “Me and Gut” that it has been disolved.
