During the latter part Of last winter
considerable annoyance was experienced
at the Congregational church from
smoke from the furnace. The near ap-
prOach to cold weather was a reminder
that fire would soon be needed. and TO

it was discovered the top was badly
cracked. A new top will have to be or
dsred from Chicago.
Last week Merritt Chandler was mp to
his farm on Black Lake and among his
beans he found several stools of barley
growing, one Of which had 20 well de-
veloped heads. He took an average head
and nubbed out the grains and counted
67 full, plump kernels which would make
full 1900 from the one. The beans were
planted in June and the stray barley at
the same time. The yield, considering
the late season planted, is considered
a remarkable one and would have un-
dOubtedly been much greater had it been
planted in the proper season.

Capt. Chas. Kitchen, Norman Lyons
and W. W. Smith own potato patch
jointly. Monday night raid was made
upon the patch by some one hungry for
potatoes. The best hills in the patch
were selected and every tuber from six
ty-five taken. 1t would seem that the
digging was done with the hands alone,
as only finger marks could be seen. in
other words they were clawed out. H.. A.
Blake says If the same party will come
to his potato patch In the day time and
invite Messrs. Kitchen, Lyons and Smith
to be present, and dig the potatoes in the
same manner, he can have sixty FIVE more
hills free and that ne fuss will be made
about those taken Monday night.
