Later on drought hampered the growth and now farmers here say that if disaster in the shape of frost should overtake the crop the present dismal prospect will be still further dimmed. Conditions affecting the corn crop here are identical all over the State. Only three times in the last forty years has the condition been lower at this time of the year. Extremes of rain fall and dry weather have been the causes. THIEVES ENTER STEVENSON RESIDENCE. Thieves entered the home of Mr. Bonsai Brooks, at Stevenson, making off with a quantity of jewelry.
