Dixboro

Wm. Parker cut a bee tree recently and secured ioo pounds of nice honey. Pretty good haul for one tree. The farmers in this vicinity are getting along splendidly with their fall work. Mostofthem have their corn husked and stalks drawn, and are now ready for the winter. The late rains have improved the vvheat on the ground a good deal. If it keeps warm there will be plenty of feed in the pastures and the farmers won't have to feeel their stock so soon. School closes for the fall term on Friday, Novemoer 2nd with an exhibition. Miss Quackenbush has kept a splendid school and we regret to have her leave. She goes to the Pebbles's district for the winter.
