Hyatt made a business trip to Barkley township last week. Mrs. Fenwick is attending a meeting at Fowler this week. The farmers of this vicinity are tired of being cheated in the weight of their grain when they sell, so they have purchased scales and will do * their own weighing in the future, and they also propose shipping their own grain. J. W. Hyatt and family entertained a number of their friends from Rensselaer last Sunday. Mrs. Win. Keen is reported as being on the sick list.
