turned from Dayton, Ohio, few
days ago where he purchased four
thorobred Duroc Jersey sows, pay
ing 500 each. Mr. Smith has some
of the finest Duroc stock of any
man in the county.
j. +. Dorgan who is in Mexico
to educate his children has a 200
acre farm in Galloway county,
just across the line from Audrain,
L. miles southwest of Mexico,
which he wishes to rent. He says
tho if he cannot rent he will move
back to it, 1t is within a mile of
where the electric railway will
pass.
We are sorry for a misfortune
which befell our friend II. l.. Phil
lpis, southwest of Mexico, last
week. At Doan S. Weaver's sale
he bought thorobred Short horn
COW, paying $1l for her, and when
he undertook to lead her home by
IA rope she pulled back and fell in
such a manner that her neck was
broken 1t is quite serious loss.
A. n. Day, on the Charlie Hill
farm northwest of Mexico,
finished up breaking about 30
acres of meadow sod last week. He
will put it in corn and we venture
the guess he will get good crop,
too it s rich ground, built up. Mr..
Day owns this farm and moved
here from Muscatine, Iowa, about
a year ago. He is a hustler.

Mr.. Pearson bought fine last

n The Auxvasse Review says:
e Hamilton Bros, (Jack and JIM
to who last year bought farm just
It this side of Mexico, have recently
:. erected two big barns on their
- new Audrain possession, one at a
g cost of about $4,000 and the other
d cost the boys 800. The Hamilton
d Bros. deal in fine stock and know
e that their stock has to be cared for
h as well as the family. Audrain
It county ought to feel mighty proud
II Of these gentlemen, as they are
d worthy and up-to-date minute

The Troy Free Press used the

ne rapid growers. The wood is be-

III Prepare the ground as you would
a potato patch. Plant the walnuts
