Snow fell to the depth of about four inches on Thursday and Friday of last week.
Farmers generally are well prepared for the winter, very little corn remaining in the field to be gathered. The average yield per acre, as near as we can learn, has been from 12 to 15 bushels.
The summer's drought has been productive of at least one good result, viz: the obtaining of good wells. We do not see the necessity of having to haul water in barrels when a good well can be obtained, as is the case in this vicinity, at a depth of not more than 60 feet, or if figured in dollars and cents, at a cost of about $60.
The Lyman Literary Society has been reorganized, and the general interest manifested seem to promise much for its future success. John Thompson successfully fills the President's chair . . .
