Howard Mills brought us a number of large apples of the strawberry variety one day this week and today Alf Randle brought us a half dozen Greenings that weigh a pound each. It only takes a few apples of this kind to make a bushel and they present a very nice display in The Republican window. Farmers in the western section of this county, fearing the cholera, are marketing all their hogs irrespective of conditions any more than that of health. They believe it. is better to clear out ail hogs on their farms than run the risk of implanting the germs of the disease in their lands.—Monticello. Journal. Walter V. Porter returned last night from Coats, Kans., where he had been for the past two weeks, visiting his mother, who was 80 years of age in July and who has been feeling poorly for the past two months. He left her quite a little better. He also visited his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Parkison. who returned to Bucklin from here soine time ago. They are along very well. The wheat crop in that part of Kansas was an almost total failure this year, and the drought damaged all crops but they raised enough kaffir corn and cane for stock feed through the winter. The fall sowing of wheat Is looking better, Mr. Porter says, than be ever saw wheat look in the fall and they are hopeful for a good crop next year. Wo will have 20 barrels more of those fancy Jersey sweet potatoes on sale this week at 8c a pound. JOHN TOIfIEL •.
