The farmers oith country are now reallL
Ing some OF the appreciate advantages OF q
railroad, In that they have IA ready market
for their surplus produce OF all Kinds. W,
mention corn especially, for which they ut,
now getting nom thirty 10 iorty-two cents

cents.
MIR II. N. Hlll has purchased the grocery
stock o L. X. Thornton Il Co. Mr.. II. has no
ccivcd car Of flour direct from the mills.
He thinks since a. arrival of that little
! stranger ut his house lie must spread out.
There seems 10 be little demand for the
prairie hay of tuis country, and II can be easi
~ accounted for rom the mot OF the inferior
quality tracenhle to the manner In Which II
II cured. Tue farmers will never find mar
| ket for their hay until they handle II proper.

| better. Most of the rass is not cut until II
! has partly gone 10 stem, and then permitted

inent has dried out ori,, and 1t has lost It's
| green rich color, hence when brought In

use talking about civil law The outlook is
alarming, ana an Internal trfe above all
things is to be dreaded and deplored, but 1t
