The livery accommodation at this
place are considerably better than
they have been. Yet there is room.
Que ofEasley's oddities is travelling
with q threshing machine. He mere

The weather for the past week has
bcen unusually cold for juno.
And still we hear of more and more.
Whosoevor will let him announce

Oats are selling in town at 122 cents
per dozen. Wheat opened at 623 cents
per bushel, but is worth S1.OO now.
Mr.. B. remarks that some of his
unknown friends must fancy him pas,
sionately fond of newspaper poetry,

This is q very bountiful fruit year,

The Light Guards will consider the
proposition of Mr.. Redmond at their
