Henry Armstrong, our neighbor, has
sold his farm to d. 5. Keyes. of Dover
Centre, Olmsted county, Mimi. and
he got a fair price for it.
A brother of Lucas Fecker is here on
a visit. He looks very much like Luc-

town; wood is now beyond question.
There are yet plenty of provisions. To-
bacco we have none, but what can we

We are complaining of snow storms,
