FORMER JASPERITE PROSPERING IN THE EAST.

In renewing his subscription, C. H. Tryon, formerly of this city but now of Sacketts JLarbor, N. Y., writes the following interesting note: We are all well, as usual, and hope you and other* Rensselaer people are well, doing well and happy. We have had a very nice summer, cool with about all the rain we needed. Hay crop is big, but not of the best quality, selling at $lB to $25 per ton. Small grain is of light weight and small yield. Corn is doing finp, and if the frost holds off a short time there will be plenty to fill the silos. Lands have advanced some the past few years, but nothing like your advances. The farmers are making big money ahd buying all the automobiles they can get hold of, and it is my opinion that some of them would buy flying machines if it wfts not for the coming down part. Yours truly, C. H. TRYON. While here Mr. Tyron owned a large farm near Pleasant Ridge. He sold -this farm at a handsome advance over the price he paid for it, <but the farm Would sell for much more than what he received.
