MT. AYR.

Some plowing for oats. Cut your potatoes two eyes in a piece and two pieces in a hill, drill two feet apart one way and three feet six inches the other. Plant on good ground next Friday, tend well and I will guarantee a full crop if you plant the Early Ohio or Early Rose. Mr. Gridley & Pumphrey received some fine seed corn from a distance. Chrisler & Parks livery barn is complete. Can’t tell yet who is to be sure enough postmaster. Some say it will be a brown horse this time. Mr. Ashley is moving into hisnew blacksmith shop. Mr. Pumphrey is visiting friends in Hammond. Dr. Caldwell is on the go all the mud will permit. Sam Caldwell sowed sixty acres of timothy in three days, just before the late snow. Sam, you will surely get a catch. Wayside.
