We have seen several honey bees
buzzing around among the prairie
flowers, which is something we did not
see all last summer.
Notwithstanding the nights have
been rather cool part of the time, corn
is growing right along. Some of it is
that :, high, if not higher.

Our people will be glad to learn
that Henry Potter has put in a line of
hardware i'm connection with his other
business. This will be great conven-

he is the incest one in every club
