Goodland Herald: Geo. Shepard had forty acres of oats that averaged seventy-three bushels per acre. If any farmer in this section of Indiana can beat this showing made on Newton county soil we would like to hear about it. AEarmers have been having excellent weather for threshing and probably one - half of the oats will have been threshed out by the end of this week. The average yield through southern and central Jasper is from 40 to 50 bushels per acre, which is considered most excellent. Pullins was in town Saturday showing a sample of Turkey Red Kansas wheat, of which he raised 728 bushels this year from 30 bushels of seed. The wheat tested 62 pounds to the bushel at the mill here and was pronounced by the millers to be of superior quality. An exchange says a lady, who has been recreating in camp life for a week or two, says there’s a lot of work to be done at home now, but she can’t do it until she has time to cure her mosquito bites and get rested. This camping business may be lots of fun, but, after it’s all over, the victim requires a week or two to get “dretfully rested.” J. C. Smith, editor of the White County National, died at his home in Monticello last Friday from blood poisoning resulting from a fall recently. The National was about the only Populist newspaper remaining in the entire country and even it appeared only semi-occasionally, as the editor felt like getting out a paper. The paper passed out of existence with the death of its editor. Mr. Smith was about sixty years of age. Probably the beet game of ball ever played in Monon Park at Cedar Lake, and certainly the best game that most of the visitors thereon that day ever saw, was played Sunday between Sheridan ana Linton teams. The Linton nine got one talley on the first inning, and from that to the end of the game it was a "goose egg” for each of the contestants, the game ending 1 to 0. The teams were evenly matched and not an error was made in the entire game.
