Rexford has a new blacksmith shop, ably presided over by Byron Ward, formerly of Gem. Also a new dray run by Mr. Havres. We now need a 'bus to carry passengers to and from the hotel, then we will not need street cars for a few days. We also have a shoemaker, a first class workman, being here the last three days of each week. Mr. Pratt is building a residence in Rexford.
Corn looks unusually fine for the season of year.
The potatoes are growing fast and promise a large yield. Some have plowed up part of their wheat and planted to corn. J.H. Williams and family went fishing the fore part of the week. Dry weather is the principle topic of conversation in this vicinity. Messrs. Harper, Ward, and Parker started for Colorado last Monday.
