The Crop Bulletin

The crop bulletin issued by the Indiana weather service says: Excessively warm temperature continued during the. week, with local rains from Wednesday to bund ay which, were very beneficial to pasturage, newly sown wheat and to fall plowing and seeding, which is nearly ended in the northern and centra’, portions of the state, but still very backward in the southern porti.m. Scuiding corn is safe from frost. Much corn has been cur, Tnc ymld will hardly bo half an average crop. Hulling clover i-. nearly ail done, with a good .yield or seeds. Late beans, potatoes and tomatoes are still in good condition.

About the best thing* that has been dona by our town board wm.; at a special meeting last Monday evening, when they passed a lire limit ordinance.

This is a proper course to pursue, and, in iact, should have been done long ago.

In the last issue of the Republican it says, ‘"Them was very bn i 1 liquor on baud in the saloon at the time of burning, as the proprietor had been buying in jug lots (or jag lots).'’ thereby creating a, bad impression. The fact is the proprietor has bills to show he has purchased of Uoscnlield Bros.. Louisville, Kv., in the last GO days, two barrels, also smaller lots from other dealers. The banquet given at the Makeover House Wednesday evening for those who so nobly assisted in the work at the fire last Sunday morning, was a complete success. A large crowd was present, and the occasion was enlivened with rausiq by the band and Banjo and Guitar Club.
