Father Perrier was in Hartford Sun
day.
Fall wheat is looking fine, and there is
world of it.
The Hartford band will receive their
instruments next week.
Thos. B. Nees is teaching a five
months school in the Indian Hill dis
trict.
Hartford can boast of as neat a Catho.
lie church building as any town.
Geo. Dale, on Eagle creek, is feeding
one hundred head of cattle for David
Gardner. That is the way to do things.
Capt Warren, of Emporia, is having
his corn shelled and shipped rs rapidly
as possible, to make room for the new
crop.
Our business men were kept moving
last Saturday, the town being full OF
people that day and much business was
transacted.
Hon. w. Martindale, of Greenwood
county, will feed two hundred head OF
cattle at T. A. Brogan's farm, near Hart
ford, this winter
Senator Gillett, who owns large body
of land near Hartford, has sown seven
hundred acres TO fall wheat, all of which
is looking nice.
The health of the residents of Hartford
and vicinity has been more than usually
good. There has been but one death in
this town in four months.
There has been an immense amount of
native hay cut and put up this season by
the farmers of this section. The grass
was shorter than, usual, but of good
quality. E
tire neighborhood of Hartford shows
palmer than words we can use to the
rapid development of this portion of the
Neosho valley. Once out of town new
houses meet our sight in every direction.
The woodwork of the Chicago Mound
school house has been completed, and a
good job it is, too. The building is 24x36,
Aft story. w. J. Combs was the con-
tractor, he being assisted in the work by
j. 4. Thompson, w. A. Baysinger and
G. II. DeMoss, all good workmen. Soon
after commencement of the work some
thief stole about SEQ worth of tools be-
longing to Squire Combs When this
school house is completed, ii will be one
of the best in the country, and the peo-
