The tardy season witb the large \ . . , rain fan presents an abnormal 'l ' , ( situation tliat is worrying some t . 1 t people. The bay crop seems to , be in better shape than anything else , tbougb it can be greatly improved by seasonable weather There i one rift in the clouds , however , and that is tbe assurance - ance of good prices-even if the crop is a tnfte sbort of the average yield. .

William Warren was in the city Tuesday from near Callaway and informed the RUPUDI.ICAN that I the agricultural and stock fair , with race attachment was assured and arrangements all completed ex ept the sale of shares , upon whice point there was a slight hitch , some arguing that a major portion of the shares should be taken by the bm iness men of Callaway , others claiming - ing that farmers adjacent tbereto 'should be the heaviest invest rs. Tills , however , is not a matter of such a serious nature as to cause a "bust-up , " it is thoug-ht , am11 . the fair will be pulled off in good. old regulation style. , . . . . , " . - - - , . . _ _ . .
