Our attention was called to the
fact that we made a mistake in the
history of the wet year of 1876. |
We very distinctly remember that
it was 1877, the year after Tilden
was elected President. We plant
ed 10 acres of corn the middle Of
April and had it to plant over, also
planted 20 acres the first of May.
1t made 30 bushels to the acre; 20l
acres the Sth and 9th days Of
June, 1877 made 40 bushels per
acre. There is plenty of time yet to
make corn this year.
We met Mr.. j. Il. Hall and Mr..
A. l.. Young who live nine miles
southeast of Mexico. They each
brought load of lambs to Mex
leo. Sold them to our restaurant
man, Mr.. G. w. Hall, who paid
Sc cents for a car load; also one
load of hogs at $4.6O. Shipped
them ont Monday. While in MIR.
Halls place of business we met
Mr.. S. N. Bry son of near Cen

is up and worked over. Messrs.
Hall and Young also stated that
corn was in good shape, but many
farmers are not yet thru planting.
