the attention of those who have been
granted seed grain by the county
TO the fact that it will be necessary
for them 10 come to Linton to sign
their contracts.
A tenderfoot by the name of SUI
verify was over from the Clayton
neighborhood yesterday. The first
letter of his front name is George.
He claims to be from Missouri and
wanted the editor to show" him
something in the way of facts re-
gardlng this region, SO as to en-
courage him to settle here perna-
nently We told him we had been
in the newspaper business herea-
bouts too ong to deal in such i'm
material propositions as facts. He
seems To be quite an intelligent
man, and will undoubtedly do well
in this section when he gets over his
homesickness for Missury. He says
he Will remain here and grow ua
With the country if his wife is salts
tied with II. He came over to get
some feed for his International loco
motor, with which he intends TO
pull five plows, and then. later on,
three disks and a harrow. MIR.
suverly is quite a mechanical genius.
He has arranged pulley from
the engine to an upright on which
his violin is made fast. The pulley
works on tlubdub or arm at the
end of which the bow is fastened.
said bow being operated by crank
shaft. AS the newcomer drives his
outfit over the field the fiddle makes
sweet music as an accompaniment
to the basso-profundo voice of the
owner as he sings the hymns of his
childhood. MIR. s., if he stays. will
undoubtedly be a winner in this
neck o. the woods.
