X The carnival remnant did not do much good here last week. A boarding-house keeper from Delphi, who bad loaned the manager SSO in addition to being stood off for S2O board bill, came over and tried to get the money, but returned only a little better off, if as well. Three of the shows and the merry-go-round pulled out Saturday night and Monday, but one of the shows moved up town on the ground vacated by the merry-go-round, where it has been showing all week, but not to packed houses. generally, the county over, agree that the.oats crop is going to be light. Owing to lack of rain when needed the straw is short and the crop will be a light one. In some sections of the county, especially in the central and southern portion, the corn is looking well. Of course it is small for this time of year, but it has a good healthy color and with favorable weather will probably make a fair crop. In the northern section and on the low lands the wet weather made farmers late in planting, in many places, and therefore the corn is very short and a light yield will be the result.
