The Weston chop mill shipped car

David Taylor, the warehouseman,
yesterday finished taking in this seasons
crop. Mr.. Taylor has handled a large
amount of wheat this season, the ton
mage being equal to that of last year.
He has shipped out 40 carloads of wheat
and there remains so carloads which,
with the exception Of something over
300 sacks, is yet unsold: Taking this as
a basis, it is safe to assume that two
thirds Of the wheat raised in this vicin-
ity is yet held by the raisers.
j. M. Hayes is q hustler in making
real estate deals. In connection with
@. NJ. Pierce of Weston, this week he
sold Robt. Ferris 240-acre farm on the
mountain for $6.340. The farm was
closed out to three men, w. p. Leach,
Mr.. Rayburn and Mr.. Larder. The
latter gentleman did not have enough
money to liquidate his portion of the
deal and Mr.. Hayes accommodatingly
hustled it out of the school fund for him
and made the deal go anyway. Verify,
Hayes hustleth. X

DR.. A. B. Stone has sold his drug store
10 Adams to Mr.. Grant Marquis, of that
place. There is an element of satisfac-
ton in the changeAthe doctor satisfied
to relinquish his claim on the property,
and Mr.. NJ, in his succession, ditto.
Another straw of satisfaction may be
garnered from this change in the owner
ship Of the Adams store, i. e., Lord By
ron's time in toto, may now be specifi-
cally devoted to role of "hello" boy in
the doctors Athena store. Thus will
he be compelled to desist in the art of
twisting goo-goo eyes at Adams maidens.
And yet there is more satisfaction. 1t is
in the realization of what Adams has lost
in this respect, Athena has gained. Oh,
girls!
