On account of the fact that some
persons whose names now appear on
the petitions for the saloon have
| denied signing or authorizing their
names to be assigned to these petitions

league to publish the list of names in
order to give opportunity for any
/ whose names appear wrongfully on
the list to have them removed. Some
have already withdrawn their names
from the petition, but it is impossible
to visit and verify all signatures be-
fore the board of supervisors meet.

/ w. r. Lacey had heard and read so
many conflicting accounts of the corn
crop that he decided to go and see for
\ himself. Sunday he went out to his
farm in Scott township and in com

$50 acre field and inspected hundreds of
ears. 1t is all well filled and is fully up
to the average yield for years. Mr..
4 Lacey says the yield in bushels may not
be quite as large as it was last year,
which was exceptionable, but the re-
turns will be equal because of increased
price.
