Lake View.
The Resort says: All that talk about
potato rot in this section this fall, on
account of the rain, is all rot. The
big loads of large, smooth tubers that
are brought to this market would lead
one to the conclusion that the present
crop of potatoes is the best, both IN
quality and quantity, raised in this To-
cality for many years. One OF our mer-
chants has 800 bushels in his cellar, for
which he paid 90 cents per bushel.

the $50 acre farm of Elijah Copeland,
situated in Lincoln township, for the
sum of $4,000, or 800 per acre. This
purchase, at fancy prices of lands,
known to be underlaid with valuable
coal deposits. indicates determination
on the mart of the Whitebreast COM
pany to enter actively upon the devel-
opment of these coal properties In the
near future.

more than double the required amount.
Since the installation of rural delivery

ling greater each month.

timacy between them continued until.
August, 1901, and that her good name

nature must be commenced. within
