Ben English and family are
moving to their recently purchased
farm five miles southwest of Attica
this week. He has a fine farm
well watered by springs and a crop
has never known to fail. We dis

In addition to securing hung

weeks Cresset, that it took "a cars
to contain 100 head of cattle which
is only fraction more than d head

Missouri, last week John Finley
brought back some nice big red
apples grown in that country this

their investment in that country
and so far have not changed their
intention of moving there next
spring.

for Kinsley, Kansas, where he has
leased a fine farm in the Arkansas
river valley. Mrs. Newman left
on Monday. Their farm adjoins
E. E. Bland's, formerly of Sharon.
Mrs. Newman made her home with
Mrs. Bland before her marriage
