Der OF farmers are blowing and sowing this
week. warm, wet fall would make it all
right. As near as we can estimate from

mined on a change of occupation. He has
secured five acres of choice land adjoining

he will put in small fruits and vegetables and

Mr.. Nesbitt.
Seven miles of the heaviest grade are com.
pletcd between this point and Eureka, ready
for the ties and iron. McLalan is at work on
the third mile in Butler county. Dolhof
moved his force in on Bird branch, this coun-

at work at different points on Spring creek,
Greenwood county. We may expect from

instead of the slow difficult work in the Flint

Mr. aud Mrs. Wallace Woodman have taken
possession of their new home in the north
ern confines of the city. The aforesaid
home is extremely modern in design and
finish and withal very attractive and con-
venient. For variety OF architecture, that
| end of town is becoming conspicuous, which
| is well in view of the fact that it has be-
| come the popular drive. We want no man
in that end of town, who in building will
not put up something unique and different
| from his neighbors.
The late dry spell seems to have been hard
on range cattle. The grass became SO dry
and indigestible that in the absence Of plen-
ty, and convenient drinking water the mani.

then stopped to act. Cases OF black leg, dry
murrian and spanish fever were also report
ed, but we are inclined to the opinion that
| dry, dusty ranges was the inducing cause.
The grass is becoming quite green and good
again, and we hope we shall hear of nc
| further trouble.
