farmers expect q large yield of all small
grain. Corn, although, backwar will,

yield.
Mrs. DeI}oss and the children took q
trip to Adrian last Saturday and are
expected back tomorrow.
The surfacing gang under Burk and
Nelson, have ut last reached here, and
hereafter no more rough track west of
Bigelow.
Edward Burk has sold his fine team
Of colts to Henry Klukus, who has
rented farm and intends going into
the farming business.

although it decreased the size Of our
village, still we were glad to see it go.
He intends rebuilding it at Adrian.
Doc. made us 4 pleasant call Sun
day. He is still in the harvest field,
where he went week or 50 ago. We
miss his red head and pleasant smile
and only wish we were wealthy so we
could show our riches and keep him
with u.s.
Mrs. Burk who has been absent some
weeks with her little daughter in Chi
cago, who she has had under treatment
for disease Of the eye. is expected back

will regain her sight.

preparing for il general raid down i'm
Iowa after chickens, as the game law
in Minnesota does not expire Until Sept.

living near the state line and bag u few
of them.
One would judge by the former COR
respondeEce between Ransom and
Bigelow i'll regard to the school bus
mess as styled 10y them that it was a
long complicated affair and that the
teachers release was the result Of some
important neglect of duty. However,
such is not the case, and as you, Mr..
Editor. say It was very small affair,
