MACKSBURO. Nov. 3. Not alone
for the election do we rejoice In the
cessation of rain. Nearly a week of
sunshine has put the ground in shape
for that Important part of year's har
vest, the potato-digging. Never could
the denizens of Erin's Isle have watch
ed their "Parties" with mors solici
tude than have we regarded our
humble "Spud" for the last month
while continuous rain threatened to
be their ruin. Now, combined wind
and sunshine have come to their
resicue. The moisture on most of
the ranJhes has) disappeared suffi
ciently to set the diggers strenuously
at work. In most places, instead of
the decay from excessive rroi'-ju-e
that was feared the tuber have been
keeping up a steady growth, and are
larger as well as better quality th--before.
The frost, though it has cut down
most of the flowers, has left us the
loveliest of all, the roses. The bushes
are so full of buds as to p-omise us
roses till Christmas time-
For deliverence from that disturber
of autumn peace, the hou-ie-fly, we
also, are indebted to the nightly frosi.
