John c. Rech, one of the Oldest

"A special election to vote upon

According to a fine story that
in last weeks issue of the
Jassville Record, Messrs. James
& Sons, made an unusual
laul of fish from the big slough
ying north of that village. The fish
we're white perch, and it required Is
,arrels to ship them to market, the
otal weight being about ID, 600
sounds. To make the haul of the
let required three hours of heavy
york with windlasses, and dipping up
he captives took another three hours.
he seine that made the haul is 500
eet long and 50 feet deep, the
yater in the slough being about 80
eet deep. These fishermen, who
re experienced, are due to make at
east one big haul winter, but it is
aid that this is an unusually lucky
erformance. They struck a large
chool, and by the use of skill and
uch machinery as these Wholesale
shermen have, brought to land
great quantity of game. The Re-
ord played their story up in good
hape.
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Vogt, town
f Glen Haven, came over to Lancas-
er last week Thursday to spend a
ay or two with Mr.. and Mrs. James
-eitlinger, the parents of Mrs. Vogt.
lr. Vogt says the farmers in his
icinity are turning from dairying to
eef cattle, to a marked degree.
ince the farmers have become so l
'ell fixed they seem to resent the
lavery of milking, whether they
,ant to or not. They find beef stock
ute as profitable, says Mr.. Vogt,
nd much less exacting in time.
With beef stock to care for the
armer does not have to be at the
table at stated hour, rain or shine
nd If he wants to go to town and
tay to see the theatre, or go to
hurch, he may make the arrangement
luch more easily than if he had a
oxen cows to milk. And yet the
reameries in the western end of the
ounty are doing we'll. Evidently it
a case of more cows-cows for the
airy; cows for producing and rails
lg beef cattle.
"A miscellaneous shower was
last Thursday evening,
