MANY of the older settlers of this
section have for the past few years
been declaring that change in our
climate is taking place. This con-
clusion is drawn from the long and
pleasant falls and broken winters of
late. History bears them out.
Lead ore and drybone have taken
a tumble that is in price. The
former 81 per thousand, and the
latter about the same per ton. This

neighbors will be sufferers more or

mand to every city in the United
States, "Put your houses in order"

a part of the annual proceedings of
the county board the first week of
the session, a portion the next week,
and so on, taking up a large space
