December 22nd carried us beyond the
shortest dav in the year. We are glad
of it, too. The mild weather, so unusual
here at this time of the year. has
already saved tens of thousands of
dollars worth of feed to our farmers in
Grant county. Ten days ago farmers
were blowing in some places, and cattle
were feeding on good fall pastursge.
Some of our clothing merchants vince
good deal because of the dullness of
trade in their line. The Lancaster
stores are full of choice. comfortable
clothing, overshoes. mittens, etc, which
at present seem likely to be carried
over to another season; but there is not
farmer or laboring man in the
country but should be sincerely grateful
for the past weeks of delightful weather
