Not much going on but the corn

 American, June 1870

Blooming Grove

Mr. Editor--I wish to say that in this locality there is nothing of interest transpiring, which is the cause of the silence of your correspondent.

Farmers are complaining of the dry weather, and from appearances the crops of wheat, oats and grass will be short in consequence.

Occasionally we can see a field of wheat looking fair in this and Fayette County, but a large amount of the ground sown will not yield half a crop.

Corn was put in the ground in good order, but the cool dry weather is giving the cut-worm advantages, and they are using it to the destruction of corn fields, causing some to plant their fields over, and others to re-plant largely. We have a good prospect for fruit.

Small fruits and berries abundant. 

Temperance Mass Meeting 

Remember the Temperance mass meeting near Quakertown on Saturday next. A number of distinguished orators are posted for the occasion.

T.W. Cowey, Photographer, Brookville

Will visit the people of this county during the present summer for the purpose of soliciting orders to copy old pictures.

He has improved his copying facilities, so that he cannot be beat in copying old pictures by any photographer in the state.

Hunt up your old pictures of deceased friends and have them ready when he or his assistant, F.B. Holeman, calls, or send them to his gallery. Look out for him at Cedar Grove sometime during the next week.
