lily having been upon said land every
day for over seven years.
We have rented the land east of
the south part of the townsite, to Jas.

and as damage is very liable to occur
from crossing the ground, all are re-
quested to avoid trespass of that kind.
We have some good farms to rent

preference to the Greenback paper.
H. G. Sheriff., trustee of Walnut
township and one of the very best
