thereof crops have been material
ly benefited.
The threshing machine has been
at work in the valley for several

factory. The yield of oats in
many localities is very good.
While at Iron Mountain recently,
Mr.. Smollinger showed the writer
a couple of bundles of oats, taken
from a field of eighty acres, which
he (Mr. 81 thought would yield
at least ffty-fve or sixty bushels
to the acre. The oats seed had
been imported last spring, and the
whole field of eighty acres was
the finest oats we ever saw grown
anywhere.
Charley Bond last week sold his
dwelling house and stock of black
smiths material, including tools,
etc, to George Neeley, of Wayne
county, who now has charge of

recommended and is a first class
workman. We wish him success
and a good line of customers,
which MI. Bond had during the
three or four years he worked
here. Mr. Bond has not definitely
decided Just where he will locate
in the future, but will make a tour
through Kansas and Oklahoma,

One of the things we are sure, Mr..
Bond has many friends in this
valley, who wish for him success
