BLACKFORD.

Visit Nubbin Ridge and see our crops. Fall plowing all the go on Nubbin Ridge. John Nichols was around buying calves Tuesday. Mr. Driver is improving his farm lately purchased in this locality. Farmers have been looking for hands to shuck corn and engaging tne same. Those who hive the looking after the iron bridges in this locality had better do some repairing on same. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schriner, Oct. 13th, a 6-pound girl. Fred is happy. He has a smile on his face a mile square and shakes hands with everybody. Jacob Lesb brought his buzz saw down to the Burnstown school house and “buzzed” up the wood there. Those who want wood sawed had better give Uncle Jake their orders. Last Tuesday Uncle John, the rural deliveryman, completed one year of service for Uncle Sam. John has not missed a day since he began carrying the mail. The Rural Route is a good thing arid it is hoped will be a lasting one for us and L’ncle John.
