Blackford.

Weather very warm. Corn is excellent and promises an immense crop, The apple crop is a failure in this locality. Henry Ropp is shearing sheep for Eiias Arnold. Charles Pullins shipped a load of hogs Wednesday. We have heard so little about the war lately that we have come to the conclusion that the war is about over. Lee, son of William Myers, has so far recovered from his recent attack of the rheumatism as to be aroundagain. Arthur Ropp is working for Elias Arnold.
