CARLIN CROSSING.

Oats sowing begun. Work on the switch has been delayed pending the approval of survey by the head engineer. The switch will be one thousand feet long. Two hundred and forty cans of milk is our record for March. Our school was out Tuesday. _• Rose Bud school closed Thursday. Miss Hattie Yeoman is teaching the spring term of school at No. 9.

John Carlin went to Chicago to-day (Friday). * The two mills in the vicinity of the church are kept busy sawing in their large log yards. The diptheria, the measles, the mumps and the scarlet rash are all in the immediate neigh- ' borhood. Charles Lakin has bought the Kaunal eighty. George Marshall has moved on his new property. Wm. Shook has rented David Alter’s home place and moved on the same. Simon Kenton has put a hew roof on his tenant house. Hands are very scarce in this neighborhood. Nearly every farm around is crossed by one or more lines of stakes, being laterals to the big Iroquois ditch. Let it come, we care not how soon. Charles Warne, of Ohio, is visiting relatives here.
