ing efficient work in all departments

had a big time at their wigwam on
Tuesday night of last week. Twenty
six new members were added to its

The writer in last weeks Chron-
icle advised farmers to plant black
walnut trees on their waste land for
profit.
We have since learned that the
State Board of Agriculture offer to
give to farmers who will plant them
black walnut, tulip, poplars and To-
Gust, in lots of not less than one
thousand. These seedlings will be
from 18 to "a inches in height and
are to be used for reforestation pur-
poses.
This is a good chance for those
who will care for them, to get some
cheap trees.
The dwelling on one of the Ellie
good farms, known as the Warren
farm, situated on the old State road,

totally destroyed by fire on Tuesday
morning. The origin of the fire is
unknown but supposed was caused
by a defective flue.
The outbuildings were saved by
the timely arrival of the Ellendale
firemen who kept the flames from
spreading.
The loss is about $500 with $500
insurance.
John L. Smith and family who re-
sided on the farm lost everything,
having nothing left but the clothes
which they were wearing at the time
