With the idea ofgiviug an item that might

shipping done from this place as a railroad
point during the past year, both by freight
and express under seperate lists. The prin.
ciple shippers were Mr.. L. q Smith and bis
successor, MIR. Geo. E. Wilhide and Mr. J.
E. Firor. The products shipped being, hay,
grain, butter, eggs and poultry, chiefly; each
of the above and Mr.. Firor exclusively doing
a huckster business. The total number of
shipments by freight were $50 and the yari-
GUS amounts of shipping were vlz SO cars of
hay with an aggregate Of about 314 tens, 4
cars of wheat of about 1860 bus, car of
household goods, 2 cars of hogs, and l car OF
stone. This car of stone had for many years
formed part of one of our oldest dwellings in
Graceham. The product shipped by our
hucksters aggregate as follows, SO boxes of

produce as shipped by hucksters and farmers,
with Mr.. Firor the heaviest shipper, sending
most of his goods to Washington d. G., we
give the aggregates as follows, 1914 boxes of
