ter brings the highest price in market
of any butter in the United States"
The tide Of immigration is setting
strongly this way, as is evidenced by the
number of cars of movables unloaded at

to Mr.. Charles Austin's car, two brothers
named Cornell and gentleman by the
name of Abel, from Clinton Junction,
Wis.,, unloaded two cars on Thursday,
and are expecting two more in few
days. The Cornell brothers own farm
adjoining VIM. Bryan's in Bennington,
and Mr.. Abel will buy one somewhere in
this vicinity. The new corners all bear
the stamp of thrifty well-to-do young
men, and are the very ones to make a
success of farming in Mower county.
