Chas. Peck has Just complated the
frame work for a large barn on the
Geo. Oehlerking farm west of town.
This barn is 28x52 feet with large
shed additions on two sides. Char
ley has put up a lot of barns in this
end of the county and has the repu
tation of the best builder in this
line in the county. The barn that
he is building for Mr. Oehlerking is
going to be a fine one and shows
that the farmers in this section are
up to "snuff" when it comes to buili:
ing good buildings.
Dr. G. G. Douglas is something cf
a gardner and uses his hoe a good
deal but dur"ing the course of the
summer he took pity on a rather like
ly Kansas sunflower and let it grow.
It was soon as high as the barn and
had a rich profusion of the famous
yellow blossoms. He has been
thinking of grafting it with the
pumpkin in an effort to produce a
specimen that will grow pumpkins
on a tree. Aside from this the doc
tor is a lover of flowers and has a
fine bed of cannas which offsets the
Kansas souvenier.
