For the Tribune.
see reports from several other towns in
this county, but none from Framnass, and
as we are getting to be the biggest TOAD
in the Puddle" it will be perhaps as we'll
to let others know we are alive and kick
ing.
Harvesting has just commenced, as
wheat has been quite green until the past
few days. The grain is better than it has
been since came here, at least my crop is,
and | think most of the farmers will agree
with me on that point, SO there will be no
use for an argument. There is no use to
say anything about the TRIBUNE, it gets
praised enough any how.
Respectfully yours,
