We have not suffered with the drouth as

Wheat, oats and potatoes look well, corn

rmincd TO get rid of him, and. accor-
ngly, laid plan to accomplish it. As
BOD luck would have 1t Cornelius did
ot know that they had a sheet with them

ne Of the company spread the sheet
7er a bush and sent Cornelius after the
