fine strawberries, and sampled many
that were Of excellent flavor, but this
week we're presented with four boxes
from the old Plunkett place on Ameri-
can ridge that beat anything in the
strawberry line we ever saw. This
farm is now owned by o. G. Brekke,
and the berries sent to the News Office
were the compliments Of his daughter,
Miss Louisa.
The point to be impressed is that
this section can and does produce fine
berries, and that no section excells

and beauty. From end to end Ameri-

Editor Troy News:
Referring to your article on good
roads I wish to say that the reason the
road from the factory to the Reitman
hill is not fixed is because Troy busi-
ness men think they don't have to as
long as the wood rats" keep on filing
their cash registers for repairs on wag-
ons. harness and horses, sustained be-
cause of a piece of road within the city
limits of Troy that is a disgrace to any
town. AS long as these merchants
can sell the repairs and get the money
they apparently don't care.
The News has used much ink on
this matter during the past three years,
and to no purpose, for nothing has
been done. Troy is advertising a big
celebration on the Fourth, but the
people ought to stay at home until the
Troy people make it possible to ge'
