on turnips this week through the gem
erosity of David Denisar who lives on
one of the DR.. Trout farms. They had
big crop and crop of big ones
five or six that weighed twenty pounds.
The one he brought us weighed four
pounds and from that fact we reason
that the weight of four mere mnp.eerree added to
that of the, S5rought us would equal
twenty pounds.

Kelly Strait and Henry Waltz are
now in a position to put down wells in
great shape. They have new drill
ing machine and u traction engine.
People need no longer build their
dwellings down in some inconvenient
hollow just for the sake of being near
"a spring. The most beautiful site on
the farm is now selected, and with the
perfected drilling machinery, an abun-
dant supply of pure water may be had
at the door with comparatively small
outlay of money. When the dug wells
shall all be abandoned, the greatest
breeders of typhoid fever will be re-
moved.

lin county few days ago seeking CON
verts to their religion. At Upper

cord, but were informed by a commit
tee of citizens that they would not be
tolerated in the town. When last seen
they We're heading for Perry county.

Several of these cannon were dug up
in 1876 for exhibition at the Centennial
