by Is: A. Hazell, has the following item:
The earliest new wheat in a marketa-
ble quantity ia this market was received

some drying for ready milling purposes.

which we stated several weeks ago had
been contracted for, is being put in, not

tlon against the sale of certain lands and
the non-improvement men had got control

Robinson and others who contracted with
X. X. Morrison, of New Castle to put in
an ehectual stopping at a cost of SO 800,
are going on with the work on their per-
sonal responsibility and must thus bear
the expense, though the benefit will accrue
to all. The piling Is driven, the passage
OF the water through stopped and the con-
structlon OF the mud bank will complete
the job. The stopping of the marsh over
How, will be great benefit not only to
owners, but to the whole section in the
matter Of health, and up to this town in
the matter OF mosquitoes. To show how

told that a farmer, renter, offered to nav
