The Harvest Is Ripening.

His list of inquiries embraces everything from 100000 acre tract of land for colony purposes to a clerkship. His plan in many cases is to send the buyers letter to the seller, and the sellers letter to the buyer In this way he is able to furnish both with just the kind of information they most de- sire.

Amherst
Fair days, Tuesday and Wednesday,
Sept. "A and %.
The fifteenth annual Mann-Silsby re-
union will be held at b. W. Sllsby's in
Amherst Friday, Sept. 8.
On Saturday Aug. II, at East Edding-
ton, occurred the ball game beween the
Eddington and Amherst mines. We have
as yet seen no official report OF the game,
but some one has reported that the
Amherst boys came out a little behind in
the score; but this difference was balanced
by the general good time and hospitable
treatment given them by the Eddington
boys, and the visitors returned to their
homes well pleased with the days sport.
The base ball fever is at its height in
Amherst. On Friday a gang OF about
twenty-five men and three teams took
part in grading bee" on U. 5. Jordan's
held. They were getting it in shape for
base ball diamond. 1t is probable that
this diamond will see some hotly-con-
tested games between the two local mines
now being organized. Among the fore
most OF the base ball enthusiasts are DR..
