Yesterday a large swarm of fine Italian bees alighted in a tree at the home of Mrs. Mary Lowe and were hived. In the evening a large sw&rm took possession of a squirrel box at Frank Foltz’s, and this morning were given quarters in a modern hive and in a few minutes were busily at work taking care of their share of the white clover nectar that is so plentiful now. James Morecraft and the others interested in the moving and loading of the big dredge belonging to Sternbergs, from the mouth of the Monon to the cars here on the loading switch of the Panhandle railroad, are breathing easier. They pulled the big 80-foot boom into the cars yesterday. It required the combined power of two big traction engines to haul it. TJhe dredge and machinery is practically all in and ready for shipment. The loads have been heavy and cumbersome to handle, but no one has been injured and there have been no serious breaks in equipment.—Monticello Journal. ■ -V — —__ “Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic OR is the best remedy for that often fatal diseasecroup.
