DEAR FRxENAS--In addition to the many 9TH
or abundant crops. that of chestnnts IS proving
unusually large. The price here by the whole
sale rates is Ave cents per quart.
Ground is being broken and material prepared
for the erection OF n fine brick school building and
by 90 feet, the lower or fret story TO be divided
into four school rooms and the second story to be
tention to make It Of the best and finest build
frgs of the Kind In the county. The well KnOwn
energy of the committee. headed by MIR. Henry
Hoppel. having the matter in charge. is guaran-
tee sufficient that the work will be vigorously
pushed.
1T is gratifying to know that the nul lately
put in operation here is n success and will prove
u remunerative investment to the energetic gen
tlemcn to whom il be ,on2s. MIR. Henry Ecken-
rode the miller. has the reputation of making
the best -four ever produced in this section of the
country. and the writer hereof can testify from
personal knowledge that the mill under his
charge has produced -four as good if not better
than any ever offered for sale in this market.
Tie receipt IF wheat at the mill has averaged
upwards of loo bushels per week since ii com
menced operations, to say nothing of the large
amount of Suckwheat, rye. etc, already stored
away for future use. That it may long continue
In successful operation is our sincere good wish.
1t is with regret that state that Miss Mary
Behe continues very low, and her death may be
looked for at any moment. A younger brother is
also down with the same dread diseace, scarlet
fever.
Mr.. Tine Thomas has been and is yet confined
to his bed frpn injury sust aimed by str king
the cap of his knee against SOME iron while at
work in his shop. The injury is serious. and, 1t
Is feared, Will result in a still knee.
