money is.
Editor L. A. Hull of Driscoll spent
several days during the past week
in Wilton, winding up the affairs of
the Wilton News. Mr.. Hull expects
to put in a newspaper at Wing next
! spring, but will devote most of his
| time to raising fine stock and farm
| ing
The first tnreshing in the i.nmedi-
ate vicinity of Wilton was done Sat
urday on w. P. Macomber's farm ad-
joining town on the east. The yield
was very light, but the quality good.
Most of the wheat which has ma
tured this year will make excellent
seed, as it will have the power to
withstand much adverse weather. 1t
should all be kept right here.
Some winter wheat and winter rye
have been sown lately around here.
More of these crops should be put
in, as experiments have proven that
they will do we'll and are out of the
way Of any excessively hot weather
in the middle of the summer.

hat he put up good arguments. His
singing was also we'll received.
Two weeks more and the grading on
he Pingree- Wilton line will have
