Since tho quarantine has been
raised against all the towns except
Pomeroy and Mason City. business

Our authorities ought not 10
recognize passes from the Board of

The raspberry crop is a pretty
good one in this county, and farm
ers who are raising these berries'are

in any of the other products of the
farm.
