Harvest Is Nearly m On Near
Busy Town.
Athena, July 14. Tho residents of
Athena are rejoicing over the remov
al of the O. R. & N. depot from Its
former location, three-quarters of a
imilo from tho business portion of
town, tohe lower end of Main
street. A week ago tho company put
a crew of men at work moving tho
depot from its old site to near the
mill. This would have made it no
more conventient for tho citizens of
the town than where It had been and
a remonstrance was sent In. The
ground had been preparea ror the re
ception of the buiiding but th? ctti
Sens started out with a petition " and
it was only a short time until every
business man's signature was on tho
paper, asking the company to put
the depot at tho foot of Main street.
The petition was forwarded to Portland.
Pavid .Taylor owned the ground
where, the depot has .been jilaced and
he was asked to name a price .on a
piece 100x260. His' price war $1000.
The company refused to pay this,
but offered $500, and the citizens
along Main street raised the other
$500 b public, subscription and now
the depot Is where It ought to have
been years ago. The new site is a
most desirable one and will be found
much more convenient for patrons of
the road.
Athena is to havo, another house of
worship. This was decided upon
Some tir&e ago by the members of tho
Christian church, and already $4140
has been subscribed for tho building.
Saturday evening a meeting was
called to discuss the plans and start
the ball rolling, as those at the head
of the movement feel that they have
ample assurance of being able to
raise the balance of the $5000 want
ed for the erection of the church,
and are justified in starting the
work as soon as possible. The
structure is to stand on lots recently
purchased from W. H. Reeder, on the
corner of Fifth and Adams streets.
The harvest season will soon be on
in this community. Grain is ripen
ing very rapidly and it will not be
more than two weeks until headers
will start in many places, while some
early pieces of grain will be har
vested before. Haying is almost
completed. The farmers -are feeling
jubilant over the wheat yield. From
35 to 45 and 50 bushels will be har
vested from the acre and in some
instances farmers are guessing their
grain to go 60 bushels to the acre.
With a reasonable jrice this fall,
farmers will indeed be in luck.
Now that harvest is near at hand
the business men are beginning to
feel the effects of the yearly visit of
harvest hands. Men are coming in
to town from different parts, of the
country looking for work in the field
and, while they wait for harvesting
to begin, they are spending their
money with our people and making
times lively.
