SURREY.

Splendid weather for harvesting. The wheat is all cut and the quality is good. Oat harvest on hand. Had a heavy shower Sunday afternoon, which greatly revived fields and gardens. D. B. Nowels and Jas. Kenton have each a burning marsh. Sunday’s rain did not get far enough north to do much good. Simon Kenton got caught in a hayslide, in such a manner as to nearly break his limb. Fool badly swelled and not able to walk. Maggie Kenton is visiting at Blue Island, 111. Will also attend the Fair. Rev. Fergtison will preach at Vaughn next Sabbath, at 10 a. m. Quarterly Conference at Rose Bud July 29. Mrs. Lavina Warne, wife of Theodore Warne, died Saturday morning. The funeral at Rose Bud was largely attended Sunday. Rev. Vice delivered the funeral sermon. Samuel Reese took his first lesson in German last Sunday. The Germans are good cooks. Ice cream and cake splendid.

The Sorghum Valley club will give an entertainment at the Sorgham school house Saturday night, July 22nd. Everybody invited.

Tom Lang, of Surrey, talks of farming with Tom Gilmore next season.

GOOD SAMARITAN.
