The village of Corbett. which is beautifully
situated on the Northern Central Railway, ap.
pears to be growing very popular as place Of
residence and many show disposition to To-
cate there. Perhaps the establishment of the
headquarters of branch of the American
Farm Implement Company at that place has
something to do with it.
The "blind auction" that took place last
of Low iUhf ~ he Of Mr

The mud roads have been something terrible
the past week. but this is only what is to be
expected at this time of the year. However,
our new road to Long Green Station is splen-
did oasis in the sea of mud roads. 1t almost
makes us favor bonding the county so as to
have all roads macadamized If politics could
be kept out of the expanding of such sum of
money and it could be as judiciously used as it
was on this road, nearly every one in the
county would favor this plan.
