MILROY TOWNSHIP.

Correspondence of the People’s Pilot . The farmers of Milroy are making great preparations to put out a large crop. Rough feed is getting very scarce for cattle and horses. McDonald paid Gilmore $7 a ton for wild hay; Fred Saltwell paid John McCeauer $8 a ton, if a man is allowed to guess on the price of hay. The trustee of our township is going to build him a new house on the piece of land he has purchased. Our schools are progressing very well. There are but three schools ia the township. Milroy is destitute of church or meetings. The people had a preacher from Wolcott to preach to them, but he went into the real estate business. The young people will have some place to go to, and they are enjoying themselver going tofdances and balls. Mrs. R. Foul ks is getting better, Miss Effie Foulks stayed there two weeks and has now returned home. The people are talking of

building two miles of gravel road in Milroy to join the White county road that the people of that county are going to build to the Jasper county line. z Enos.
