$500 was sold at 25 per cent bonus. A
very satisfactory report of the business
Of the year WIS made by the secretary.
A COUPLE of weeks since or Walhalla
correspondent said they had four guide
posts in that township. This may be,
but two years and a half ago. after a long
dusty drive from Hamilton, along the
sand ridge. after getting within two miles
of Wall,alla, we took the wrong fork of
the many sucl, roads in the timber, and
landed in st. Joe, five or six miles away.
That is our experience with Walhalla
want of guide posts.
