DERBY

We notice quite an improvement in the
graveyard at West Derby, which we
think worthy of notice. E. K. Ham,
mond has recently spent two or three
days in trimming the trees and shrub
berry, and we think we have about as
pretty yard as can be found for sever
al miles around
The potato crop about here is very
poor this year, many being badly rotted
Potato buyers have been Offering 30 and
40 cents per bushel, but many intend
putting them into their cellars, feeling
confident that they will bring higher
price before spring.
