T.J. Starcher was on a business trip to Arnoldsburg last Tuesday.

Felix of Freed, said he was going to get him a goat to ride. As he did not say which way he was going, I would advise him if he starts this way to have his goat well shod and learn it to swim, as the roads over here all got dry last winter and went to the runs, and I'll "be darned" if they ar'nt right there yet. We hope they'll come back soon.

Mr. S.H. Nester is working a good crop of corn.

T.S. Starcher thinks he can safely contract 200 bushels of peaches from one little tree this summer.
