There is evidently something in raising peppermint. It requires less attention and cuyjvation than most other crops and yields a good profit. The Goshen News cites the following instance: “Michael Miller, who resides twelve miles east of town, has harvested the crop of mint from 12 J acres. The yield amounted to 400 pounds of oil and this was sold for 11.60 per pound. This is 151.20 an acre.” It is now authoritatively stated that the Nappanee & Benton Harbor railroad will be built and that the construction of the road be commenced at once. The St. Joseph Valley railroad from Buchanan to Berrien Springs, a connecting link, will at once be put in order. This means that the long-talk-ed of and much abused Benton Harbor and Southeastern road from Nappanee to Benton Harbor is assured. -

She was married Aug. 20, 1889 to Charles Fletcher, and died Sept. 26, 1894 after a few months i illness from consumption, the same • pitiless destroyer that only a few months ago took away her sister, Lulu. On account of public gatherings being forbidden during the small pox epidemic, only brief services were i held at the residence on Thursday afternoon, and as the mild rays of the sinking September sun fell softly, they laid her tenderly to rest close i beside her sister while loving hands covered them both with beautiful flowers. Dollie was of a lovely, un- . selfish nature; to know her was to love j her. But love had no power to save her from the grasp of the grim renj>er , She met death bravely. Conscious to ’ the last she spike loving words to her ' dear ones saying, “Don't grieve fur me, 1 shall be better off," and many otheri words of comfort and sweet resigna ' tlon. she leaves a sorrowing husband, parents, brother, sister and other relatives and many friends.
