July 3r I. David .Brown

thrashing wheat in and
around Faith July 2nd and

Crops at the following places
have iust -been thrashed:

Ritchie, L. M. Peeler, Bill
Barger, George Peeler, P. A.

They threshed 2600 bushels
last week in four days. Who
ever can beat that with a
gasoline outfit trotsTQttt your
blast J uly 3rd. Two kegs of
powder were put in and a
battery used. It lifted out
many tons of nne granite
near Peeler Bros.' saw mill
in town, and the buildings
were snafcen by the big blast.
Several block makers will
now go to making it up into
paving blocks.
While we were traveling
recently we discovered a
remedy that gives relief to
rheumatism. I will tell any
one what it is on receipt of a

Simple and good.
The best wheat threshed
here this year was at Lawson
