Notes:

Andrew Tillie.

If hard work and striot attention to the duties required of a successful farmer counts, this young farmer will certainly win. He is at it late and early and "makes hay while the sun shines" to liquidate all payments as they become due on the fine 100-acre farm which he purchased some four years ago. His place is situated about three quarters of a mile west of Crossbill. While raising crops and stock and accummulating the necessary collateral to meet bis obligations, he has greatly improved the farm, which previous to his moving onto it, had been somewbat neglected. He is also a very successful swine producer, and each season usually has quite a number of fine fat porkers for the market. Mr. Tillie has valuable help in the person of his wife, who is a neat, painstaking and economical house-keeper. The writer not long since had the pleasure of spending a night under their hospital roof, and he could not have found the interior of any farm home more pleasant and inviting.
