Doing Good Business
John B. Skinner, who is surely a
hustler, has been very busy during
the past week and up tr the middle
of the week had trucked 142 hogs
and 21 cattle from Alvo and vicinity
to the South Omaha market. He re
ports the trucking of stock to the
market at this time as being very
heavy, and one has to wait on a line
of trucks a quarter of a mile in length
every time he goes to market, indi
cating that the trucking business is
closely pressing the hauling of stock
by the railroads.

The friends over Cass county join

' On July 29, 18C1. Mr. Foster, stir-j
