It is said by the farmers that new oats are not weighing out as well as expected. The rust hurt them considerably. The oats- yield in this vicinity is light, and will probably not average over thirty-five bushels to the acre.—Kentland Enterprise. “The Model” has concluded to close out its entire stock of Ladies, Misses and Children’s Shoes at such prices as will suit you all. .
