Johnson County Couple Visiting Their Daughter Here.

Mr and Mrs. J. M. Brown of Franklin, came she first of the week for about ten days’ visit with their daughter, .Mrs. Gus Grant, and family, and will go from here to New York City, where they have two sons engaged in business, and whom they visit about every two years. They will return home via Washington and take in the G. A. R. national encampment the latter part of September, Mr. Brown being an old soldier. Mr. Brown states that it has been quite wet down in Johnson county, but the corn is looking fine except in a few low spots where it has been drowned out. It rained there about every day last week. Wheat thrashing was about finished last week and the average yield was 30 bushels or better to the acre. One farmer with 120 acres reported an average of about 34 bushels, some of it making better than 40 bushels. Wheat was not damaged in quality by the rain. It came in damp to the elevators, in most cases, but they were fixed for drying it put, so it graded well.
