We learn bills are out for the auction
of Fred Ford's house and land, Wednes-
| day, July 81 We can endorse all that is
said on these bills in praise OF this place.
1t would be. indeed, an ideal summer
| home. The lovely scenery cannot be
described in words; it would have to be
seen to be appreciated. We can think of
no point of view where the West river
valley would show to so good advantage.
We heard the remark made some time
ago that it would be good home for
| some one who would like to farm IL
on a small scale and it would have the
advantage of any hill farm on account
of its proximity to the village and at the
same time being so retired from 1t. The
two hundred shag bark walnut trees
would yield in a bearing year hand-
some sum of money If properly sathereu
| and cared 4or.
