The Clyde Nursery

Buys Becker Farm and Will Expand Its Business.

Pickett & Sons Nurserymen, have recently purchased the
100-acre Becker farm, also known as Wilder farm, which
is situated on McPherson Highway, three blocks west of
the interurban depot, and expect to move their office
and packing grounds to the new location.

This gives the firm a total acreage of 270 acres.
For the past few years they have been propagating their
nursery stock from bearing trees known to be good
producers of fancy fruit, which is of the utmost
importance to planters.

This new farm is well adapted to the growing of
evergreens, and plans are already made for planting
large quantities of evergreens in addition to apple,
cherry, pear, peach and plum trees. They will also
specialize in shade trees for arks and allottments, in
addition to all kinds of shrubbery for landscape work.

At the regular meeting of the village council Friday
evening, Mayor W. H. Blair appointed H. G. Baker to
serve as councilman in the place of the late I. J.
Jordan and the appointment was confirmed. Mr. Baker will
make a good official and his friends are glad to see him
get the honor.

Celebrates 89th Birthday.

Monday was the 89th birthday aniversary of Mrs. Susan
Eisenhard and she will remember the occasion as one of
the happiest of her life.

Her son, Prof. Geo. B. Eisenhard of Culver Miltary
Academy at Culver, Ind., came for the occasion and
brought along one of the finest radio outfits he couuld
obtain and set it up at the Eisenhard home. The
Professor, who is thoroughly informed on radio matters,
and his brother, Will who does the "fixin" around the
village lighting system had their fun tinkering with the
outfit and then Prof. Eisenhard showed her how to turn
the dials and bring Pittsburg to Clyde or call Atlanta,
Ga., or Davenport, Ia. out of the air, and since that
time she has been enjoying the wonders of the radio
probably more than any other listener in Clyde.

Mrs. Eisenhard is in excellent health and gets around
nearly as well as a person of half her years. During the
day she remarked that last year she went out and chased
a chicken around the yard until she caught it and
declared that she felt able to do it again this year.
