Mr. Beers owns one hundred acres of land just outside the corporation of Fredericktown, and this was a part of his father's homestead. Here he has resided since the age of twelve years, and the work of the farm has devolved upon him from boyhood. He has here made such improvements as are needed on an up-to-date farm, and is directing his attention principally to general farming, also giving some attention to the line of sheep-raising.
