    Neighbors and friends, 30 in number, gathered at the Henry Zimmerman farm, two miles west of Clunette. After taking possession of a field of corn, all hands became busy to such an extent that when noon arrived, 200 bushels of corn had been cribbed and most of the fodder hauled to the feed lot. Mr. Zimmerman with illness in his family considers himself greatly favored to be relieved of this work at this time.
