combine and his wheat is reported to
be turning out fine. From now on
deliveries will begin to increase at
the various warehouses along the

tracing at lone and Lexington, wheat
selling from 70 to rs cents. About
20 900 sacks have been sold at lone

yield of about % bushels per acre.
The old building used for years as
warehouse by the several saloons
in ueupner and standing on the prop

good move and should he followed

good many such buildings and then
only be in fair way to start general
improvement work.
