When completed Mr. Rinehardt will have one of the best farm houses in his com- munity. The wind that accompanied the rain Sunday night was harden on the small grain , especiallY the oats which are very heavy. and were 'blown down badly. Several - eral wind mills were injured northeast of town and branches of trees in many instances were broken off. A short time ago the secretary of the County Fair , announced that the first 50 people who would agree to bring in a certain exhibit - hibit of farm products to the fair would be guaranteed $3.00 in cash and a family ticket good during the entire. The interest taken in this is unusual , and up to the present time 45 out of the 50 people wanted have sent in their names. , John Weheling of Cliff Table , was in the city Saturday. He I nforms us that he has added I half section more land to his pos- sessions. 'l'his time he has taken in the Hutchison and Scotts i places. Consideration $2QOO cash. John has the reputahon for wanting all the land that joins him. The great trouble is , every time he adds an additional quartar he soon disoovers there is another piece adjuining tha t one. But wit h a continuation 0 f a republican administration and good prices for hogs he will find a way to get other quarters. - - J , " ' ' " " ' , " " " " " " " " ' * " " " " ' ' " " " " " " , " " " _ "I : : : : : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - .
