29 July 1875

ROBERTS ITEMS
---
Roberts has a dramatic club. They gave a performance Monday evening of last week. The receipts go towards purchasing books with which to start a public library.
The kite flying mania has struck Roberts, and numbers of variegated colored kites can be seen soaring heavenward, but a far greater number refuse to leave earth.
Farmers in the vicinity of Roberts will experience considerable difficulty in harvesting their oat and flax crops, the late rains having beaten it almost flat to the ground.
Corn has grown so fast during the past ten days as to preclude farmers from giving it the required amount of tending.



--Paxton Record. 29 July 1875.
