Twenty per cent of the hog* are dead. (Japt. Gresham spent Saturday and Sunday with relatives and Mends at Amerlcus. The farmer who expects to make farming a success is spending but bittle of liis time at the stores,which prevents us from getting but of the news from the farm. Crops that we have seen are look¬ ing well. Corn is being “layed by” cotton something below the vacrage of a good stand; yet is growing and promises well, provided the farmers can prevent its furthur association with the “crab grass” with it lias been so intimately associated for the last few weeks. Oats are but letter than half a crop and have been badly saved due to the con¬ tinued rain. Vegetables are tine, and early fruit is plentiful. Farmers are not generally politi¬ cians and as the most of our citizens are farmers the heat of the Guber¬ natorial campaign is disturbing them but little, yet they have a prefferenee, and of all the voters to our knowledge, in and around this place, they are for Gordon with one exception. Miss Ida Munroe, teacher of mathematics in one of the leading . female colleges of Mo., is at home spend her vacation. Miss Ida has many friends, among them her students, who are glad to welcome her home. Is Dr. McMiehael a candidate for the legislature? It lias been ru- mored around here for the last few days that he is, yet we are slow to the Dr! can he spIriMfrom hiTbiLsL ness at home, which is certainly more remunerative, and as for poli- tical ambition he has none of this kind. But if the Dr. is a Candidate and is elected, the interest of Schley and the general interest of the state, could not be in safer bauds. The friends of the Dr. would like to kuow if he will allow his name to go before the people. M. J. C. Five ilfonllis For 50 Cents! In order to introduce the Patriot into families who do not already , j take it, we will send ii to any ad¬ dress 5 months for 50 cents.

To verify the above all you have to do is call and examine their stock, or write for catalogue and prices. One reason they sell cheaper titan some handsome houses, is this, they don’t throw in any tiling with an Instrument. A stool and scarf goes with each Piano and a Stool and Instruction Hook with each Organ, and noth- ing else. You pay for what you buy, but nothing more. They give you ;l home guarantee for five ye irs, and will deliver an Instrument in your house if it is not convenient for you to send'after it.
