"It is a pleasure to record an act like that performed by about twenty of our citizens, who, knowing that Mr. Banks had been confined to the bedside of his sick son, to the neglect of his farm duties, repaired to his farm, Thursday afternoon, raked and set up about five acres of wheat, which was in danger of spoiling, got in a lot of hay and made themselves useful generally.  It is sympathy of this kind that is worth something."
