„ We have been getting a little mild March weather this week, with quite heavy frosts for a night or two, although as yet it is scarcely thought the freeze has been severe enough to cause much damage. In the vicinity of Valparaiso six inches of snow fell, but here scarcely enough oame to whiten the ground aud that melted shortly. Grass on the lawns about town is large enough for the lawn-mower in many places, oats are up and fruit trees are well advanoed. A severe freeze would no doubt settle the fruit. $ J. T. Randle and W. 8. Makeever have traded the land south of the A. McCoy residence property and a strip on the east about 120 feet wide for J. T. Huntzinger’s equity in the Collins farm, north of town, which the latter traded the River Queen flouring mills for, This leaves Messers. Randle and Makeever the McCoy house and barn and about 160 to 170 ft. frontage on McCoy avenue. The trade is generally conceded a good one for Randle and Makeever, as it places the McCoy property in much better shape to handle.
