The Firebaughs have sold their place just south of Antelope, where Charley has been living, to Fred Boettcher. Mr. Boettcher recently sold his place north of Antelope to F.C. Utting. The Firebaugh place contains two hundred and forty acres. One eighty of it they bought a year ago at eighty dollars and the rest four years ago at sixty. They sold it all to Mr. Boettcher at ninety dollars an acre. And that isn’t so bad either. But, the place is worth every cent of the money. The Firebaughs still have seven hundred and twenty acres four miles southeast of Antelope.

Richardson Bros. are moving their grocery this week into the east room of the Dean building which has been remodeled and made ready for them. It is a fine location and the room is splendidly adapted to their use. There is a rear entrance on the street north of the courthouse, the room is large and the front light is good. Al Richardson who runs the business is one of the most capable and popular businessmen in town and one of the town’s most useful citizens. Here’s hoping for great success to Richardsons in their new location.

Edgar Tiemeier, young son of Henry Tiemeier of Lincolnville, met with an accident Monday, falling from a buggy onto a cement floor, striking and cutting his head.

Mrs. Florence Saggau Maltby has sent home some of her work for the holiday trade. These articles are now on sale at Sheldon’s Jewelry Store and include stenciled dresser scarfs, table runners, sofa pillows, hand painted calendars, etc.

Geo. Firebaugh was in town the first of the week and gave a number of people an opportunity to see a corn shredder at work. A few were willing to admit that they had never seen one at work before. Mr. Firebaugh shredded a lot of corn for Fred Dockstader. The machine breaks off all the ears and husks most of them, delivering them into a wagon box or bin, while the stalks are shredded and forced through a blow pipe to the stack or loft.
