most useful instrument in agricul-
ture, which our versatile Reiners-

for season, but to pulverize the
clods, get the ground in good order,
oh, that's some job The ordi-
nary disk harrow is about the best
thing that farmers around here

Some Old Stuff
While ransacking the shack for
something that had been tucked
away, we came across an old news
paper called the Morgan County IN
dependent, published in Malta by
Joseph A. Kelley, publisher and
printer. The date of this paper was
Sept. 26, 1872. More than 60 years
has gone by, and likely there have
been some changes in the twin cities
since that time. The venerable IT.
ven Travis and others may have
noted the changes. In the political
arena we note that U. S. Grant was
running for president, with Henry
Wilson (not our late Henry Wilson
Of Seeleysburg) as vice president
Wm p. Sprague was running on the
Republican ticket for congress, anC
| there was to be political meeting
at Sand Hollow and Seeleysville
with Newell Corner and e. NJ Ken

learn that Captain Hart was build

overlooking McConnelsville. Also
the Brown-Manly company were go
