Dr.. j. W. Stribling has disposed of
the New England drug store. selling to

of Dr.. Stribling and if E. E. Boslough,
the druggist, was to remain the doctor

not complaining about his crop yields

for wheat and fax were higher.
A deal was closed last week in which
Andrew G. Anderson became the owner

MIR. Torkelson has been one of the best
natured hard working men in New Eng
land for the past six years and he will
be missed by many friends. The Tor
kelson land joins Mr.. Anderson's home
stead and will make a fine farm.
