PLUM GROVE ITEMS, June 27th, 1879

The past week’s glorious rains have our farmers and every one jubilant over the prospect of a beautiful corn crop. During the last twelve years, the corn prospect was never better at this season than it now is.

☞Since our last writing, Plum Grove has changed its program regarding the style of celebrating its natural holiday. Instead of an old fashioned celebration, they have instituted a Sunday School picnic as the order of the day.

☞Willie Bradley, who has been stopping at Hutchinson for the past year, visited our town last week. he told us that if Hutchinson had as good farming lands to support it as this town and Peabody has, he should have settled at Hutchinson: he reported that our crops were far ahead of the plants out there. 

☞Some two weeks ago, Morgan of the Chase County Leader, got a free ride from Cottonwood Falls to Plum Grove with E. A. Kinne, the gentleman working for Uncle Sam, Morgan on his return wrote up the towns from the Falls to this place. In writing up the Grove, he only spoke of two firms doing business, and left the other firms out; he also called your humble servant “cuss” words and done a great many other things which we will not at this time tell, for fear his wife might get a copy of the Gazette and would cause trouble.

☞Fishing picnics are the rage in this vicinity.
