Editor Babcock, Wife and Son Now Among New Yorkers. The Democrat received, a letter yesterday morning from Editor Babcock, which was mailed Saturday night at Waverly, New York. They were then forty miles from Binjjrhamptibn and about 115 miles from Westford, which place they expected to reach Sunday. yheir journey most of the way has been very pleasant, and aside from some mud in Indiana and western Ohio they have had good roads most all the way. Following is a brief description of the trip that will prove of interest to the readers of The Democrat: Near Elmira (New York) we saw many tobacco fields which they are just now cutting and hanging up in the tobacco sheds to dry. Passed many fields of oats that* are yet to cut, and some of the more shiftless farmers have not yet finished haying. One can’t lose Indiana any place one goes. Last night at Salmanca we got some popcorn, popped In a fine “Butterkist” popper made in Indianapolis, and near Cornell today we met a band of gypsies driving som» ten" Studebaker “Sixes,” loaded to the gunwales with men, women and children and camp equippage. -»•
