BELL CENTER.

Correspondence to People's Pilot. A box social in the near future is expected at our school. Corn husking is in full blast. Some farmers say their hired help and new cribs will break them up if corn is only 20 cents a bushel. Sim Dowell’s hogs have been attacked by cholera and some 12 or 15 have died, but with a new kind of medicine he I as succeeded in stopping its ravages. L. L. Ponsler’s tenement house is nearing completion. Mr. Ponsler has built as though he expected te occuppy the building himself, making it neat, roomy and convenient. This is, as all such houses should be, for renters are humans like other people, and will work more to the interests of a

liberal and accommodating landlord than they will to a nigardly, exacting one. Alf Donley is building quite an addition to his already large and convenient barn. The Clark boys will soon have a new windmill, something they have long needed. Alter’s tile mill volcano is still active. We have heard the election returns but having no democrats here, have as yet seen no long faces.
