Benson comes to the front and reports the largest hail stone so far heard from. It measured four teen inches in circumference. One was picked up here in town by P. B.

The larger part of the stones were nearly round, and measured from one to one and one' half inches through; but probably one tourth of the stones were from two to three and one-half inches through, the largest way, but were irregular in shape. some of the lare-est around meAmirino- not over iwoincncsuncK A violent hailstorm visited this rpp, tion last evcninfr. ilmno- ennui, WaVdrt KamaSe fco croPs- 0ats are probably bil(lly where they are heaviest, the damage to corn so far as we have heard is insignificant.

A gentleman having a farm on Burr Oak Creek says that some gamester will pay well for his feathered game if he persists in trespassing on his farm, and we do not blame him. Queer, isn't, that some of the boys can tell you just how large and how fat, the young prairie chickens are, and just where they may be found, yet they haven't killed any, no! Why doesn't some enterprising man put up a grist-mill at Burr Oak? No better location can be found in the west. Here's a good chance for some man of means to Mget still other talents." Owing to'some mistake in the making up of the mails, our many readers in the north part of the county did not receive the Reveille last week. We trust the like will not soon occur again. Owing to the threatening weather last Sunday evening, the attendance at the Church was light, and Rev.

Fleisher postponed the delivery of his address to young people until next Sabbath eve. Pete. Austin, of Harrison township, was a caller at this office last Friday. He has been undergoing a rough-and-tumble tussle with the rheumatism, and has just come off best man, but rather the worse for wear. Died: At her home in Burr Oak township, on Sunday, July 15, 1883, at 3 o'clock a.

Roxena, wife of Moses Belt, aged 80 years. A fond husband and seven small children, together with a large circle of friends are left to mourn her decease. i By mowing down the enormous sunflowers and other weeds which have grown up along the edges of the streets and around your houses, yon will greatly improve the appearance of things, and make our city much more inviting to strangers. Eugene P. Worcester, of this city, and Miss Maggie Casey, were married at the residence of the bride's parents in Brown's Creek township, on Saturday July 14, at 10 o'clock A.

M. The happy pair have the best wishes for prosperity and happiness of their many friends. M. A. Morrow is in town, and has commenced work on his elevator.

He has made preparations to immediately commence buying grain, having rented T. B. Carpenter's warerooin and scales till the first of September, by which time he expects to have his elevator completed. 1 Quite a drawback, and one that will ruin the flax-raising industry of this county unless some measures are taken to prevent its spread, is the amount of mustard mixed with the flax. Besides spoiling the crop of flax it is ruinous to farms.

In eowing flax look out for mustard seed. 2 We are under obligations to Will E. Emery for a copy of the Buffalo County (Neb.) Beacon, a very little paper published at Gibbon; From it we learn that Charley Norton, a cousin of Fred. Norton, of this township, has been obliged to undergo the trial of hav ing one of hisfeet amputated. A new bank is to be opened in this city in the near future.

Two voun? men, one of them formerly connected ml f- with the banking house of Smith Bro's, of Red Cloud, the other recently from California and said to be "lined with the dust," will constitute the firm They have rented a building of J. Faidley, and will commence operations at once. Mayor Royer Informs us that tho creamery scheme has not fallen through by any means. The reason it is not now built and running is that suitable ots could not be purchased last spring, until it would bring the opening of the creamery in the warmest part of the season, hence Mr. Fowler concluded to wait till fall before opening the busi ness.

Special. I hereby inform my numerous patrons that I have so far recovered from ray severe protracted siekn ess that I will in future attend to professional'caHs. congratulate myself that good nurs ing and strict adhesion to my directions have during the past nine months pre vented my having a protracted case of acute disease or the oceurranee of a death in my practice.

John Lamb purchased at Be-loit this week a new Nichols Shepard thresher with which he will commence work the first of the coming week.
