Farmers say that both early and late wheat is coming' along nicely, the plant being perfectly green and healthy. The weather of the past ten days and the excellent rains, followed by the warmer weather, have given the plant an impetus which will go a great distance toward sustaining it through a severe season. It is said’ there is no need of feeding cattle until snow flies, so good is the pasture everywhere. The contract; for the rebuilding of the Baptist church which was destroyed by fire last May, has been let to Mark Hargrave and Isaac Higgins, the contract price being H200.
