Thus we expeiienced our first rough roads this season. The extreme high wind for the past few days has got in its work distributing weed seed. On the 1 prairies, where the wind has a good opportunity to blow, great bunches of tumble weeds, tickle grass, etc., are sent rolling across the fields and heaped against the wire fences.

j Rev. Pitzer, of Thayer, preached to a far sized audience at McCoysburg Sunday night, the regular minisI ter not being present owing to the rainy weather. Very few persons knew anything of Pitzers’ coming to preach, and had it not been for the protracted meetings, not many people would have been out.
