Saturday last we visited Bigelow

Saturday last we visited Bigelow
and was pleased to note the business
stir about the place. H.. ". Millar
the grain buyer is doing large bust
ness considering the season of the
year. He has made number OF i'm
provements in his elevator, supplying
it with a new Otto gas engine, and
other needed machinery. Mr.. NJ.
always pays top prices for all kinds
of grain. The cheese factory is max
ing about 200 pounds of fine cheese
every day. Farmers in that part of
the county find ready cash market
for milk. VIM. Yohn has just opened
his new hotel, and the traveller will
there find good fare and good beds.
Bigelow is fine trading point and
all the business represented there is
doing well. David Ryan & Go. since
last November have sold 36 cars of
lumber, and other business is done in
about the same proportion.
The Rock County Herald says:
During the month of June the Bea-
yer Creek Insurance company collect
ed $l95 in premiums. It has over
$500 in the treasury besides paying a
loss of $500 this month. This is an
excellent showing for this company
and the Herald is pleased to report
the fact to it's readers" More mu-
tual insurance companies should be
organized, especially among the farm
ers. They can do their own insuring
just as we'll, and much cheaper than
the old line companies. In Delafeld
township, jackson county, the farm
ers have mutual association which
brings their rate down to figure
much below that charged by the old
companies.
Mr.. Yeske of Bigelow township,
called on the ADVANCE last evening.
He says the corn and wheat on his
home farm is good, much better than
last year; wheat he estimates at 70
bushels to the acre. He has 81 acres
of flax that one good rain would
make it a splendid crop; it stands s
or 6 inches high. Next week he ex-
poets to cut his wheat.
The ADVANCE is sorry that more
young men did not hear the splendid
sermon last Sunday evening by Rev
Wilson Aull at the Presbyterian
church. Every young man in Worth.
ington should have heard. his able
discourse. He is a sound, logical
reasoner, and his sermons are con
vincing.~ .,,.,. ,,.,
