that he will not leave this neighbour
hood but will hire out to some one of
the farmers about Hamlin.
The last vestage.of Fred Bonneson's
old blacksmith shop at the station
was removed the first of the week,
and now Merchant p. j. Juel has
room on both sides of his store bull
ding to plant out shade trees.
William Olsen, he who purchased
the Will MCGUIRE place, adjacent to
Hamlin on the south, has mad such
good luck with his pig crop this year

When the carpenters were about
through building the porch at p. j..
Juel's store one of them accidentally
let a board fall against one of the
large windows and the break looked
like one you have seen when fat
person sat down upon a thin place on
the mill pond in winter.
