MILROY TOWNSHIP.

Correspondence of the People’s Pilot. The weather has been very changeable, and the roads so very rough that people can hardly get around. There is more water on the ground than there has been for several years. We understand that the “Blue Sea” in Milroy township has been rented to Al Robertson of Monon for §I,OOO. We don’t know how he will get his money out of it unless he fences it up for wild ducks. J. Clark had a sale last Tuesday. Everything sold high. Hogs sold at the rate of six dollars a hundred. Rev. Hufeton has purchased the old Wesley Meadows farm and intends moving there this spring. There is quite a number on the sick list; J. Johns, Chariey McDonald and Mrs. R. Foulks. Old Uncle Peter Foulks is getting better. The wheat looks very sickly in Milroy this spring, on account of a fly being in it last fall. The blades are dead around the stem in patches' Some of the young people are attending protracted meeting at Lee. Rev. Deveneau of Chicago is holding the meeting. Enos.
