DRYING UP IN NORTH DAKOTA.

Lack of rain in parts of the Dakotas has played havoc with crops there this season, it is said. The following letter from S. H. Holmes, who moved from Barkley township to near Jamestown, No. Dak., last spring, confirms reports- previously received of the dryness there: Jamestown. No. Dak., July I. Dear Sir: Just read a letter through your paper from my old friend and neighbor, W. H. -Pullins, of Deerbrook, Miss,, with great interest. It makes one’s heart ache to read of the good crops and fruit, and which we have not got herp this year. We are burning up, have no promise of anything this year. It is pretty tough on us Indiana people. But this fe a good .county to mak& money if we could get the rainfall. * • We are attending the county fair at Jamestown. Our friend, C. L. Yeaton, passed us through without any expense. They have a nice display of stock. We met with quite a few Jasper comity people. T. G. Brown’s and Wm. Elkins and families are attending. As ever, an earnest readfer of the good old Democrat, SAMUEL H. HOLMES.
