The hay Of this section has almost
entirely been contracted, and the few
isolated small stacks left are being
held at pretty stiff prices One lot
OF rs tons was held at $3.50 per
ton and we understand this is the
going price at present.
The recent rain, If to no one else.
has been blessing to any one using
the public roads. After being almost
impossible for long time, they are
now in very good condition. But we
sincerely hope that the movement
now being agitated in the county seat
for a hard surface road thru the
county will prevail. In the writer's
opinion this will do as much or more
than anything in sight in the devel-
opment of the entire county.
