Good Farms,
nlands.

There are many nice farms near
here. Now that numbering is nearly
over, farms are being improved to a
larger extent. We can name dozen
within short distance that are worth
from So, 900 to $12, 900 each. B. c. Gal
lup has three most excellent farms on
the Turtle p oint road and they all
show that he is an enterprising farmer.
There are nearly fifty farms owned in
this vicinity by residents of this bor-
ough and its suburbs. There is every
thing to encourage agriculturists; pro-
duce and beef are high, work horses
are cheap, help is plenty, while wire
fencing and machinery help out Won
derfully. We believe J. G. Cooling has
accomplished encouraging results from
his farming and stock raising efforts.
Anyone that has built up stock busi-
ness equal to his in five years ought to
be satisfied. We predict greater i'm
provements within the next five years
than ever before About one half of
the lands between Emporium and
Olean are yet uncleared and will be
sold very cheap in the golden future.
This will be one of the richest farming
communities in the country, and this
town continually growing this is
very desirable place to live. For,lack
of time and space we forbear to men,
ton manyindividual farms and farm
ers, but may in the future.-Port Ale

James Haley attempted to do the old man up he
told whopper, but it was go; John Hogan
told one that staggered the old mans nerve a

spun big one. The old man nearly had them
downed, when Mike Murphy and the high
mucky muck Morrsey appeared, the old man
threw up the sponge and acknowledged himself
out classed, but not beaten fair, as he single
handed. If he had Lewis Wykof, c. w. Beldin,
Vine Hauscome, Mike Sullivan and one more
they could knock them out. The first round, one
of the members reported that John Hogan told
the truth one day in Bradford and uldnt prove
it. which nearly got him in trouble. Too bad
John, we as club, sympathize with you,
may speak the truth some time in mistake.
