Many Rensselaer People Visited Newland Sunday.

Quite a number of Rensselaer people autoed to the Gifford district Sunday afternoon to see the improvements going on in that locality. There are a large number of new settlers there this year, and many new houses and other buildings are being put up. It is said that over 600 acres of onions will be put out in the Gifford district this spring, and if a good price is received for them—there is little question but what they will have a good crop—they will bring in a great many thousands of dollars to the growers and place them on “easy street,” so to speak.
