Otto Larsen purchased good horse
this week of our implement dealers
who being excellent judges of horse
flesh are seldom without good car
riage or farm team and are always
more than willing to accommodate
the purchaser or seller, just to keep
things going you know.
o. P. Tyler is at home again after a
I prolonged visit in Omaha. From the
way things now seem to be shaping
themselves he will either have to raise
the price Of that big tarm.or sell. He
has been offered little short of his
price and he will soon get it or back
down, and that he don't do.
Last Monday evening about six
O'Clock severe hail storm accompa-
MED by high wind passed Just west
OF town, the hail doing considerable
damage to window glass. Jens T. Pc

Gill Petty boasts of being the own
er of an animal that for producing
qualities beats 'em all so far as we
have been able to ascertain. Last year
she raised him sixteen good pigs and
this year she walks proudly forth
with seventeen out Of litter af eigh-
teen pigs. At that rate Gill should
soon be classed as the pork king of
Hamlin.
Rev. j. With and wife were calling

nestly in this his chosen vineyard and
has been the instrument by whose
exhortations several souls have been
piloted out of the slough OF despond
to firm and solid footing. His flock
all speak in glowing terms of his
faithful ministry.
Frank Tyler is in a good paying
business at the Omaha stock yards
and would be better pleased with the
work was it heightened out into an
all day job instead of half day as it
now is. The buying, selling and sort
ing out and removing is all done be-
fore noon, leaving him with nothing
to do in the afternoon but make him
self at ease, and Frank being rnstler
can't stand ldleness.
w. D. Stanley returned from mis-
south western trip last Saturday. He
is favorably impressed with parts OF
Kansas but before settling down, pos
sibly for life, he wishes to be sure and
make an investment he wont have to
grieve over hence did not invest. Now
we are told he Is going up into Mimi
esota to take view of that land but
we believe it will all end in his pur-
chasing farm within mile of where
he now resides, even if he does have
to pay $4,000 an acre.
A beautiful sight is that which
greets the eye of the individual who
passes by the j. H. Jones feed yards
and looks on more than one hundred
and fifty beautiful young pigs all
looking we'll and full of play. Those
pigs in few months, if nothing in
terferes will bring Hamp a goodly
sum of money. He has very fine
herd of brood sows, too, that are
looking their very best at this time
besides half car of fat hogs that will
go to market this or next week.
