PLUM GROVE ITEMS August 30th, 1876

No feature of a newspaper like the Gazette is of more importance than it’s county correspondence. We are aware that there is not a community in Marion or the northern portion of Butler county, but can furnish a correspondent to write up the news that transpires in his vicinity. The editor, no doubt,  will heartily appreciate the services of such as will write up the news in his vicinity. 

Mr. James Tucker arrived from I’ll. On the 28th inst.; he reports that the crops here far beyond those in Ill.

My. Thomas Ferrier, one of Butler counties successful farmers,  presented us with a basket of peaches, the largest and best we ever saw or tasted; the actual weight of each peach was one-half pound. Mr. Ferrier will please accept the thanks of ”A Star Cus” and Frow.
