vook has dolavcd threshing very much , nnd
.irovontod the stacking of the crop of small
grain which Is the largest ever raised in this
county. On the irrigated lands wheat is
ruirtiing thirty to forty bushels to the ocro
end oats as high as seventy bushels ; bnrloy
fifty to sixty bushels and In the uplands tin
equal amount. Owing to the wet weather
the crop of wild bay will bo entirely lost.
Colonel Ilupfor , who U ono of the largest
owners of hay lands in the 1'latto valley , has
lost his entire crop by the continual rams.
Tbo stand Is goodi but it is Impossible to
harvest it on account of ruin.
The crop of corn is exceptionally good , but
is ton days Into on account of the weather.
Corn has the finest stand It over had in the
county and if frosts do not como too soon
will mauo the largest yield In the history of
the county. The farmers will market more
surplus products this fall than the entire
mortgage indebtedness of the county. Every
body Is enthusiastic nnd the "calamity howl-

Increosea. There Is n strong sentiment
among the members of tbo assembly against
a change.
The military laws are to bo changed , so as
to give the executive moro power iu emer
gencies like that nt Brlcevlllo.
The criminal laws are to bo revised , so as
to send fewer offenders to the penitentiary ,
probably establishing the whipping post for

A World's fair appropriation is to bo voted

an extraordinary session will bo called.
