Plenty of rain. People are making clover hay in Nubbin Ridge. The N übbin Ridge farmers are thinking of cutting rye, it is about ripe. Mrs. Edward Jenkins is on the sick list. Miss Tippy Fletcher is working for her. If any one wants their broncos broke t® ride call on Fred and Lester Schreimer. Roy Snow is working for Rob Shook. Roy’s brother Emers was working theie. but quit. The church at Blackford Saturday night conducted by the Rev. Appleton was well attended. Mr. George Schreimer and wife and Mr. George Mcklefresb and family spent Sunday at Chris Morgenegg’s. The Burn and Dolittle grist-mill one mile south of Aix, has all it can grind in the way of chicken feed, chop feed and corn meal. The mill does excellent work, patronize it. George Jenkins returned from Monon last Tuesday where he had been visiting relatives, he says there are not much show for crop in that locality.
