Good Patronage.

Wanted 400 head of horses and cattl to pasture. Abundant water, blue gram, careful attendance. Call on Robertson Bros., Rensselaer. The fire company was called out twice the past week. A burning kettle of tar at the new laundry building caused the alarm to be given Saturday afternoon. The company arrived at the scene in short order, but their services were not needed. Monday morning fire broke out in the pump house at the depot. The boys were promptly on hand and had the fire out in short order. But little damage was done.
