The man wasn’t a bad sort, he was a. hayseed all right, but he married a town girl and she seemed like a fish outfof water all the time. She couldn’t milk, didn’t want to learn, and her husband had to do it after his day’s work was done. She wanted new dresses every spring and fall, and hats too, and she thought herself above her neighbors, .' They always had lots of company; that farm house was like a hotelâ€" fuIl all the time. . Then she didn’t want her children spoiled mixing with the others. Things went on this way for some time. The neighbors tried to make her feel at home, but she did not feel at home, and didn‘t want to. At last she got her husband’s head turned and nothing would ,do him but he must sell out, live in town and go into business. The business man always had a white collar cn, wore good clothes and didn’t get up until 7 o’clock, had an easy time and seemed to be making lots of money. So the old homestead Was sold. His father had cleared the land and had put up the building. Everything should have been hard to part with, but he got an auctioneer and sold the whole thing, lock, stock and barrel. It was fun to see the spread they made when they got to town. They put the style on thick. . He thought the merchants charged too much and he was the best of the whole bunch: He thought all the hayseeds would trade with him, but they didn’t. The farmers never- stuck together and never will. Well, he didn’t know anything about the business and he wasn’t onto the game, so the first thing he knew he was over head and ears in debt and the first thing we knew he was bankruptâ€"there was no farm to come back to at all.

In the memory of the oldest in- habitants ol this part or the country. nothing like the continued dry wea- ther has ever been known. For weeks no rain 0! any account has fallen. and the evil effects 0! the dry spell begin to be seriously felt. The grass is completely dried up. the foliage of the trees, instead of dying naturally, are scorched and shrivelled, many of the springs and wells of the village and surrounding country have dried up. and good drinking water is at a prem- ium. The air for days past is dense with smoke caused by the bush tires, and had high winds prevailed instead of the calm weather. With which we have been favored, certainly very great damage would have been done However, we are optimistic, seeing the equinoxial storms always bring rain and they occur about the twenty-first of‘ this month, when, of course, we will likely,get plenty of rain.
