Peanuts and public notices mix in late 1800s column
A miscellany notes a tramp opposing arrests and local concerns about a foul Main street drainage, then shifts to mining rushes in Oklahoma territory near Bagg Creek. It reports peanut cultivation trials by Dr. G W King, soil rotation ideas, and peanut fodder value. Also mentions deafness cures, a public notice, and a formal land publication notice from La Grande.
