CORRESPONDENCE.

From Wheatfield. Crops are looking well, and from the looks now we expect an early harvest. -- - Mr. Stout, had a sale the 17th, and he will start for the west in a few days. Just what part we do not know. He is going for his health. We hate to have him leave Jasper Co. as he is a man we need here. A good citizen and a good neighbor. There were about 20 men from Wheatfield on the excursion the 14th, to LaPorte. They report a good time. Hay making will be more backward this season than common. The grass appears to be very backward. Wheatfield will have no celebration this year, but Wheatfield will go to the DeMotte as they talk of a grand time there. The Rude family was in town Saturday. They look as if they had good care while with Sheriff Blue. ~
