LORAIN.

Crop prospect continues splendid.
J. Hansberger, D Togo and NJ. Keyser,
have cut barley. A good many Of our
people think it was Il mistake to put in
a bridge 1T present OH Okabena Greek
as this route is not much used. A
bridge, however, is much needed on the
Jersey road near the place of G. l..
Clemmons. Probably 500 teams pass
over this latter road to one over the
road where the bridge is contracted to
he built. Some think of making an
effort to have the matt; reversed and
the Jersey road surveyed.

INDIAN LAKE.

I1aggard Brothers, G. w. Bulls,
John Blixt and Chas. Peterson are
through cutting barley. Isaac Horton
threshed barley OH Saturday last. The
township is dotted with hay-cocks and
the yield this year is all that could he
expected. Farmers think it is the best
hay year we have had. Henry Hag-
gard has a large rick already put up.
Next week farmers expect pretty gen.
orally to begin wheat and oat harvest.
Corn is now coming out beautif lilly
under the recent hot weather. Many
pieces which few weeks ago seemed
of no account are coming on and prom
ising fair crop. The bridge near Mr..
Brant's is broken and farmers down
our way have trouble in getting to
town again. Can't something be done
to put in 4 good and permanent bridge
at this place? Stock doing we'll on the
splendid grass and cows giving an un-
usual quantity of good milk. Miss
Stark will open the Indian Lake school
again next Monday. Both teacher and
pupils will come back refreshed after
a two weeks vacation, and the ''young
idea" will go on learning show to
shoot.'' C.

have fine stock in good condition.
They make cheese of the best quality,
and are worthy OF the patronage of the
surrounding farming community.-Sib-

interest to the general public to justify
me in advertising them, but as my per-

resented by certain parties, I wish,
for the benefit of those misled thereby,
to state that, since the first year list
ed here, have invested over 5000 of
what was then personal property, in
real estate, which l still hold, besides
ST 900, in Government Bonds, not tax
able, hence the increase in my real es-
state assess nent and the corresponding
decrease in my personal list.
