FOREST GLEN,

Miss Maria Broderick has fully recovered
from her recent serious illness.
Mr.. w. H. Nelson, wife and family have
gone to Chapel Point for an outing.
Farmers in this vicinity are complaining
that unless the drought is soon broken
the corn crop will be greatly injured. Many
fields planted the latter part of May or
early in June, that two weeks ago looked
good for large yields, now look as If the
grain was nearly ripe, while, as matter Of
fact, the ears have just commenced to
form. Late potatoes will be total failure
unless rain soon falls.
Judging from the talk INDUCED in just
now we will soon have substantial evidence
that the electric line to this place will be
built in the very near future.
