Waxing Wealthy on Onions.

Mr. Alfred Donnelly, capitalist from Gold-Muck valley, north of town, leftgfor Louisville,Tuesday, to negotiate the sale of a few more carloads of his silver mounted onions of the vintage of 19&1; whioh he is consenting to part with, in small lots to special friends at the rate of $1.40 to $1.90 per bushel. He raised 3,500 bushels himself and bought 3,500 bushels more at 60 to 75 cents a bushel. These facts, together with a little figuring in arithmetic, will give some idea of rate in which Alfred is attaining affluence out of this year’s onion crop.
