a good trade. All are satisfied with
conditions and plenty of prosper
ity is believed to be had for the
asking.
No. 1 Northern wheat is quoted

good. Threshing operations were
delayed by the rain of Monday.

chased team of handsome bays
which both he and his friends adj

public school building of Fair Ha-

contents. The loss was SO, 200 with
SLIGO insurance. Incendiarism is
suspected. The school will be re-
built.

along merrily and the elevators
are all busy receiving the grain.
Merchants look for a fine trade
this Fall. ... ..
A cold spell struck Sank Cen
tire Sunday and lasted two or three
days and fires were needed every

stoves and had to get along with
different make shifts. Wednesday
the weather warmed up and it has
been fine ever since.
