Adams County Press
Local Brevities For more than a week past the editor of the Press has been badly afflicted with inflammation in one of his eyes. We are now having comparatively fine weather, and threshers are busy all through this vicinity. Friendship has become quite a place for live stock-especially dogs and swine. The prospect for a hay crop is better than it was three weeks ago, and nothing to boast of now. Fred WEBSTER and Adelbert LAWRENCE returned from Minnesota one day this week. Fred reports the wheat crop in that State almost a total failure on account of the heavy storms and wet weather. There is a greater crop of blackberries and huckleberries than was anticipated a few weeks ago, and men, women, and children, are daily returning from the woods with pails and baskets filled with the wholesome fruit. Died BURNHAM-In the town of Jackson, Adams County, of consumption, on the 13th of August, Marcia C., wife of Mr. T. G. BURNHAM, aged 28 years, 10 months, and 10 days. Mrs. BURNHAM leaves a husband and three children to mourn the loss of an affectionate wife and kind mother. They have our warmest sympathies in their sad bereavement.
