X, PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS .00 PER YEAR The Way It Looks. Never in our forty-five years In Howard county have we seen so bright a prospect for the farmers, and Inci dentally when they prosper other callings don't languish. The farms and their products give life and vltali to all other vocations. The acreage corn is larger than ever, the stand excellent, the color is right and the work among the fields is up to the re quirements of the season. Small grain very stocky and large for the season, pastures and meadows are superb, and a great broad smile is on the entire face of nature on the face of the farmer as well. The abundant rains have filled the streams and given a greater degree of Jhumldity than has been realized in the past ten years. ty Of is We gratefully acknowledge hospi tality of Joseph Andera and family and of L. F. Emmons and family. The J. B. noward farm has been pur chased by Frank Hubka a new house built and will be occupied ere long. The country in the Little Turkey valley is wonderfully changed since our early trips across on the way to Chickasaw county In pursuit of law and collections. The John Chyle and the Thos. Holub farms are old land-marks and among the best in the county. On the Holub farm is a splendid young orchard of over 100 trees. Geo. Smith is making a farm among the hazel brush and oak, the best soil in the world. We of course drove in for a few moments chat with the early friend and pioneer of the county, Wm. Clynch, now an octogenerian, but hale and hearty. The old James Brophy farm is one of the best in the county and is in a high state of cultivation. Forty years ago or thereabouts we assisted in procuring a post office which was located on that farm, named Pond Valley James Brophy postmaster and supplied from New Oregon by the Pond Valley postmaster once a week. There has been great destruction of the bridges from high water. On the town line road east of the Hooper farm two were ruined that are being rebuilt. A new house graces the Ptecek farm, and a beautiful one on a commanding elevation. We took occasion to-make a brief call on the old deserving soldier, Ch&s.-- G. Kettleson, who is in his usual health but almost helpless, anddeserv ing the considerate care of govern ment aid. Hymeneal A very pretty wedding occurred on Wednesday evening, June 4, at the Presbyterian church, when Miss Edith Anne Tate was united in Marriage to Dr. R. A. Morton of Cresco, Iowa.
