ROBERTS RAKINGS
--Paxton Record. 12 January 1871.
. . . Thompson and Dashiel of Onarga have built a store in our town, and filled it with Dry Goods and Groceries, and are doing a good business. Our R. R. is graded and bridged, and ties are contracted to be hauled. A water tank is also under way. Most of our farmers, after keeping their hogs until the present time, -- and their value depreciating every week -- have at last concluded to sell, and quite a large amount of pork has been started Chicagoward in the past few days. I have been talking to our farmers about their corn crops and its average yield, and have found that exluding sod corn, the average is fully 43 bushels per acre, and this average, unlike others, is an under estimate, rather than over.
