PLUM GROVE AND VICINITY
March 9th, 1879

EDITOR GAZETTE—Could you not excuse us this week, for we really have nothing to write.
• Mr. James Tucker is able to be out again.
• Miss Heckendorn is still quite ill.
• Stark has got on an ENORMOUS stock of goods, which he has just opened out; he proposes to sell ten percent cheaper than a man can steal them. Stark is happy, and so is his Customers.
•Every house in the Grove is occupied, and more buildings are badly needed.
•Dr. Noel is in a very critical condition, disease, affection of the heart.
•Well, we give up; “A Star Cuss” was right after all- we went to that wedding, and another fellow married our girl, so we came quietly back and had the aforementioned “Star Cuss” appointed our guardian. So from henceforth him and not us will be responsible for our actions.
•S. M. Spencer has run I. A. Shriver off the track on the corn question; he bought seven or eight thousand bushels of corn the past week.
