\ GAINESVILLE dispatch says: at is
| thought here that if the tobacco is
held much longer and is not sold that
there is great danger of its being dam
aged by heat, and many farmers, real
| lzing this, are ready to sell at very low
figures. There has been some little
inquiry from Eastern buyers and it is
certain that at the prices now being
paid not much would be risked by any
one entering the market, Eastern
dealers are now in the field and some
thing will proabbly soon be done"
CaSsville Current: The town has
been full of railroad laborers this last
week. Last Tuesday night all the
hotels were crowded and at about
o'clock in the night two of them went
to the Dennison House and asked for
lodging. All the rooms were full
| then, and no more could be accom-
odated. They would not go, but fooled
around until Mr.. Hannum could put
up with it no longer and had them
taken TO the calaboose. That was
! pretty we'll occupied already, for about
eight or nine were then lodging there,
but the old saving that there is always
room for one more" proved true, and
room was found for them.
| y. X. Van Matre and Robert Martin
took trip to Aurora, ILL.,. last week.
and while there purchased from the
well known stoekman. J. o. Curry.
some of the above named excellent
breed of cattle - Nathan getting a
two-year old bull and three wear
old heifer, and Robert getting a year
ling heifer. The Herefords are very
large and fine cattle and are year by
year attracting more attention from
stockmen throughout the northwest.
The bluegrass of southwestern Wis
eonsin will produce good specimens;
and without doubt, Messrs. NanMatre
and Martin will in a few years be
amply repaid for their present invest
ment by being the possessors of fine
herds of Herefords. Mr. NanMatre
also purchased very fine Poland Chi
ma SOW from the successful breeder.
