They patronised a merchant tailor and a bath house, and then took in the fair.” Mr. J. B. Spalngle, for over twenty-three years a resident of this place, has now sold his property, and talks of moving with his family to Texas. We understand he departed for that State last Monday for the purpose of finding a good location.

Take it altogether 1875 is a “red letter’ ’ year for the farmers.
