WHEATFIELD.

The farmers are busy sowing wheat and rye. Considering the very dry weather we have had, onr corn crop is very good. Sun Bros, great show was here last Saturday; showed both afternoon and night; a large and well pleased crowd was present, and everything went off nice and smooth. Our town is now incorporated and a convention was held likt week to nominate candidates for the various offices. The follow* ing is the list of nominations; John H. Tilton, for clerk and treasurer, George Hoehn, E. W. Phelps and P. E. Davis, for trustees and George Tilton, for marshal. The election will be held Sept. 25. The dredge that i 6 digging the Wheatfield ditch has been idle most all summer on account of there being no water in which to float it. Mr. John Hack, of Lowell, is the contractor.
