The old erop of wheat will be all in by the end of this month. H. L. Wood spent Saturday and Sunday here with his family. A carload of crocks were unloaded here this week by the grocers. Sheep she?.ring began in earnest last Monday and will continue all this month. Emery Fletcher and wife, of Jackson, spent Saturday and Sunday with friends here. The rain of the first of this week was much needed and did great good to all growing crops. Some one has dammed the outlet to Cavanaugh lake and raised the water some two feefc. Wheat has headed out and there appear in many pieces considerable amounts of rye and smut. The exercises of memorial day passed off well and the address of R. E. Frazer was excellent. Frank Broderick, of Jackson, spent several days with his mother here the first of this week. Ralph Thatcher and Fred Schumaker, of Ann Arbor, spent last Saturday and Sunday with relatives here. The second Demorest medal contest was held at the town hall last Friday night and was a success. All the speakers did well and the male quartette rendered some excellent music. The medal was awarded to Miss Florence Cole. The markets are generally lower since one week ago. Arrivals of wheat have been moderate and stands now at $1.03 for white and Si. 01 for red, oats 42 ets., rye 75 ets., barley $1.25, beans $1.75, eggs 12 ets., butter 15 ets.

He went west about three years ago and was about twenty-two years old.
