Farmington Times Mr. Gustavus BURGERT cut his wheat last Sunday and, to make sure that it would be safe from the "Father of Waters," stacked it on WILLIAMSON's Hill. Many others saved their wheat in a similar manner. Ste. Genevieve county may justly be proud of having a weather prophet who really predicted this overflow.

Our friend Valeri GISI presented us a basket of peaches that looked as if grown for the purpose of inviting one's appetite. They were of the cling stone kind and their cheek, lovely as a maiden's, seemed to say, "come and take a bite." The Cone Mills stopped last Wednesday and will probably suspend operations for a month or six weeks. Shortly after the works had been stopped, it was discovered that there was water in the elevator, which probably had found its way through the light sandy ground overlying the rock ledge on which the mill stands.
