Several people came out to Comer last week from Rensselaer on a little excursion. They went home we understand, and reported no corn or oats on the ranch—nothiikg but a little onion patch. They must surely have left their glasses at home. The next time you want to see the ranch let us know and we will send you a guide free of charge. We have Just its good corn as there is in Jasper county and better oats than on the high ground. We jdso have a little onion patch of some 400 acres and of that we are proud. Also a small potato field of some 200 acres whiph is no “eye-sore.'’ Don’t go way out in the marsh where we have not plowed to look for crops, but look in the right place next time.

1 wish to u; to the Wheatfleld eor. that I aa a masculine gesderite. I used to wear dresses, but I was a baby then. Mrs. Wilmington and daughter, Blanche, went fishing the other day. Mrs. W. caught * bass and MissW. caught a carp. Mr. Armstrong of Michigan City, was the guest of Miss Lillie Peregrine last Sunday. Mr, Armstrong is growing a fine mustache. The political sky around D. V. is clear. The calm Is one that always precedes a storm. The D. V. cor. is quiet, waiting for an attack. Mr. Kemington cor.: When are you going to pass the hat around to get the money to buy the editor u pair of skates? Don't miss me. I understand that the Republican has secured aD. V. cor. Before I talk or write or say anything I must have a reason for my political faith. Come, come, you ought to see our corn. The rattling of the leaves seems to be an inarticulate language which says that D. V. needs an elevator. Some men, and especially the rich, declare that they make their living with their head. But after thinking it ifCer I remember that the wood-pecker does, too. Milton Jones has moved his store closer to the railroad. He is going to move his country residence to D. V. and devote his time to the mercantile business. May success crowu his efforts. A number V. young people attended the Spider W T eb social at Bro. Hickman's residence last Tuesday evening. Everybody enjoyed themselves. The Wheatiield young people are A No. 1 social manipulators. No sooner had Judge Month July declared that fishing was open to the citizens of Indiana than the from the north and from the south, from the east and from the west, rose up enmass and proceeded to the right bank of the Kankakee river to decoy and capture a few of the unwise of the finny tribe. The largest delegations were from Medaryvilleand Gillam. Some of the tourists looked happy others melancholy. Some looked half happy and half sorrowful, but they were all satisfied. DUNSVIIX'S BOOM. Upon the ground once occupied by Hon. I. D. Dunn's hay barn will be reared an elevator. This is what we wanted and what we were bound to have. This is just as good a place for an elevator as any place on the 3-1 road. After Wheatiield was promised an elevator, it was rumored that D. V. didn't need one. but through the intervention of Hon. I. D. Dunn and others, it was secured. No good thing can they withold from us.

WHEATFIEED.

Not 16 to 1, but 24 less 16. For further particulars aud information ask Ed Pinter. Mrs. McKevett of Kankakee, is visiting her daughter. Mrs. William Grube, this week. Mrs. Marvin and Miss Bessie Perdie of Lowell. mere the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Stuppy of this pluce the Fourth. Mrs. F. H. Scott and Mrs. J. M, Helmiekof this place, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Helmick of Macomb City. Miss. Jack Kneadler made a business trip to Medarj ville this week, He is thinking some of moving on a farm in that part of the state. The ball game between the P. E. Greens and Jolly Tars at this place last Sunday resulted in the Jolly Tars winning by one tally. We understand that the Wheatfield Commedy Co. will play “Uncle Josh” on the day of the farmers’ picnic, on a stage built in the grove for that purpose. The North Barkley cor. is the loser of a shirt, so we understand, but we will say nothing about it to Mr. D. V. for he would roust N. B. to a queen's taste. Mr. John Campbell took a northward wheel ride last Wednesday night. He probably got along all O. K. If he had a wheel that was ucquuinted with the road. We do hope he got back all right. The boys who rushed across the street to a place where they heard a child scream, supposing that the child had been budiy hurt, found things entirely different, and came back almost as fast us they went, looking us sueaking as a whipped dog. Last Sunday, w hile some of the boys were out bike riding, the handlebursbecame loose on Robert Bunch's wheel ami lie soon found himself all in a bunch. The young man came in holding his arm and a few minutes later was seen carrying his arm in u sling. Boys, you will have to learn to go slow.

We see by the D. V. cor. sayings that he ] ! received a present w hich he cluimsd to be j ,an insult. We will inform the donors of the above mentioned present thut if they have ; any more presents of this kind please remember us, us we are anxious to know whut the present Was but we would die before we | would uskD. Y. and we will say that a present that would insult us would make a jasack leave his oats. \ I We see that Wanatah is trying to keep Vul- '] para iso people from running at large aud spreading the small-pox abroad over the I country, and we will say that this and other | surrounding towns should join in and prevent some few parties chaseing around over I the country aud espeoialiy one that makes | this town once a week on no business what- ; ever other than just simply to make the | -trips If this is allowed to go on soon, this j terrible disease will be spread all over the I country.

Everybody reported a good time at the ; the Spider Web social up near the M. E. church last Tuesday night. After the icecream and cake had made its appearance and disapperance, theu oue of the guns of Cavite thundered forth a roar of salute that sounded like that of distant thunder. After the roar of the gun had died awuy the hum of the guitar could be heard at a distance, the crickets and grasshoppers, too. with the many other voices, harmonized with the guitar. No one within hearing distance would doubt but what every one was having a good time. BTKUCK OIL. The company which-has been leasing oil laud in this vicinity struck a fine well of oil on the farm of Tom Stoner, about 10 miles southeast of Wheatfield, in GlUam tp., Monday. The well was shot with 8 quarts of nitro glycerine which had good results and it is claimed that there can be 20 barrels of oil taken from the well per day.
