DEAR FREENAN-We are all getting uneasy
in the lower end of the cOuuty-Or at least in
this particular section of il. Farming does not
seem to prosper, notwithstanding we have been
blessed with the ''edIiy and the iGt'cT rains. -
/ The grass didn't grow and the oats won't get
I ripe. and we had an UtgJuH dry summer. ana so
on to the end of the chapter. are the buTdpnS
of the complaints to be heard on every hand.
think Rob Roy tells some big California
/ stories sometimes. SheuTiug sheep in six
minutes i rather too rapid Il process for any
thing short Of streak ot lightning to perform,
and cannot help hut wonder whether local
! option does not enter into the spuij OF such
! stories.
see there are quite a number Of the unit err
! riied who seem to he willing and anxious to
/ serve the dear people in any capacity that
has either profit or honor in il, ana more eSpc-
/ ciaIly the former. Although / would rather
see the Office seek the than the man seek
| the office trust that the best of them viii win
I the coveted prizes. INEEPENDGNT.
| PUNCTUATION.-Th Importance of correct
! punctuation is eNcmpliticd by the following IL
! iIstrati lions: Which cats the most chickens,
/ ministers owls? which eats the most,
! chickens ministers. OwlSI And again ::
! Walk in, gentlemen what do you think!
! shave for penny and give something To drink.
/ Walk in gentlemen = what! do you think
/ shave for penny and give something to
/ drink? In this connection it may be IN on ion
I ed that all persons who like good. tastctully-
/ made and cheap clothing always patronize :.
