KENTON
AS it has been some time since
l have seen a letter in the Times
from Kenton,I thought I would say
something of its condition and
prospects, now that we have shak- /
en- off our coating of ice and snow
and spring activities are about to
begin.
Notwithstanding the bad condi- /
ton Of the roads corn has been ar
irving in large quantities during
the past few weeks. AS most of
it is delivered on fifty cent con
tracts, the sellers were more hap
Ply than the buyers.
Trade has not been very brisk
during the severe winter months,
out is starting up now. J. NJ. Ar
-hurs' glass front store is probably
he best stocked and most attrac-
i've country store in the county, a
i've business man is he. Our steam
srist mill will be all ready for bus
ness by the middle of March, the ,
Messrs. Taylor of your town hav- .
ng got the boiler last week. 1t .
viii be a great convenience as our /
water mills are SO uncertain of (
'oWer. Frank Greenwell, the boss ;
of this section, has located ]
iere, having bought the old Sheriff :
ireen homestead has erected :
laughter house, cattle pens, etc. !
nd is ready for an active cam T
aign. 1t is said that during his I
Welve years in this vicinity he has :
ever offered meat to his custom
RS which city butcher might not
e proud Of. 1t has been contem- s
lated putting up an extensive
and cannery this spring 5
Ut the poor prospect for peaches 2
iii probably postpone it indefi-
itely.
William Q. Jump formerly mem
er Of Legislature, has gone to y
to reside The fine 4
rick store house and dwelling Z
uilt by him (now the property of
le National Bank of Dover has {
cen leased by George Hawkins |
So. It was feared we would lose a
im this spring, but such happily
not the case. His fidelity to all t
usts both public and private, his I
knowledge of the law and Il
S great social qualities have Ii
uch endeared him to the public. b
AS for peaches, I have seen only f;
70 persons who claim to have 81
und live bud. Cultivated black a.
.rries are badly hurt; red rasp- p
,rries and Strawberries are all IL
ght; wheat is looking well; the e.
Ipply of fodder is short. Local Sc
'tion has been much discussed this
inter. Several whose constitu- W
ons physically, financially and
orally have been badly shaken by &
hisky, declare the whole thing ~
Whether it is or -,
It we need something to purge us Fl,
our whisky mill. I believe we .,
we the only country bar in the n
unity. 1t is dealing out desola- or
IN on every hand yet some re- n
ectable men are found who will 70
IN petition to license such o,
ague spots. 1t is strange re
