John was surprised at missing his watch, and when Robertson, came and told him where-it was, the crowd had the laugh on John, for it cost him 50 cent’s to get his watch out of “soak,” Henry Rrcntou was reported to have been killed at Jeffersonville by a fellow prisoner a few days ago, hut the entire report was an error, and how it came in circulation we are unable to learn. Sheriff1 Shrode saw Brenton alive and well at the prison the day after he was reported to have lost his life.

Energetic work of the directors has placed Knox at the top of the list, and the fairs are always successful. Good advertising makes good trade, and that, too, at low rates, since he who sells quick can afford to sell cheap. A good trade makes a live town, and thus it is that busiuess meu have much todowi'h the success of the tbwn.

The volume containing the State history aud biography of the two counties will make a book of over 700 pages. This work is needed and the universal support of all c> t urns as patrons of t he book should be given to render the enterprise successful. ^ Excursion to Marengo Cave, On Saturday, July 25th, from Oakland City, stopping at Whitmans, Ayerslnre mines, Winslow, Stirvam, Velpen and Duff.

Items About I*ands and Land-Owners. Real estate business is active, considering the dull season of the year. John Young last week reported to the McCormick machine company a yield of tit) percent, of wheat in this county. The wheat crop is scanty ; but the corn erop promises a line yield the fruit crop ditto, and the hay crop will be a heavy one. A prominent farmer from tho southern part oft Ins township reports that t he wheat he has seen will not yield more than 30 per cent. The farmer is busy reaping bis golden grain, but all is not gold that glitters. However, the wheat,is generally, turning out better than was expeetc'. The acreage of tobacco in Pike county for IKHt was 1,054 and the production 692.500 pounds. The county is not at all “trashy” when it comes to tobacco raising. The report to the Bureau of Statistics for last year showed 45.300 acres of timber laud, 1,506 acres of newlycleared land. 7,406 acres of idle plow land, and 5,578 acres of blue and other wild grasses, in Pike county. In 1884 the average yield of wheat for the whole Slate was 13.50 bushels per acre.' Corn in same year, yielded an average of 28.56 bushels ‘ to the acre for the whole State. The estimated total gross value of these products of the Stale for 1884 are as follows, and may prove of valuable reference; wheat, $32,424,960; corn $35,663,919. Illustrated advertisemeuts of reaping machines give us gorgeous views of harvest and rural life geuerally. A sleek span of thoroughbreds, with richly plated carriage-harness step jauntily along through the golden grain, pulling a reaper which runs so easily that the traces are scarcely tightened. The lines are held hv a handsome young man, very ueatlv dressed, loose necktie about a turnover collar, and wearing a straw hat with a hand of ribbon, the ends of which flutter gracefully in the light breeze. An attractive farm residence, surrounded by graud trees and beautiful shrubbery, vines climbing about the wi’ dows, and specimens of the red rose as big as a soup plate scattered promiscuously about, are seen near by, aud to one side great, spacious barns, pastures in which fine horses, cattle and sheep cavort about, and other things, combine to form a scene of rare loveliness and beauty. Very fine, all this, but how much of it is visible in real life?
