Horace Marble, Onion Magnate.

Crown Point Star. Horace Marble, of Wheatfield, spent Sunday here and is looking hale and hearty. Although he don’t hoe his whole crop of onions himself he has on his land 177 acres of the black seed variety, which are a foot tall now and promise to make a great yield. They are planted on rich marsh ground, which has the reputation of raising the greatest onions in the country’.
