Long Island.

Long Island.
Our town has been very quiet for the
past week, not one event having trans
pired to make sensation, and about
the only ripple that makes any show of
disturbing the generally good natured
people of Longisland is the high winds
and cloudy skies which have prevailed
this spring. If this is gentle spring it
is only fair to say that it savors strongly
of Arctic regions.
Oh, spring why contest thou
With fierce winds and bleak skies,
Casting chill DER valley and hill,
When we looked for warm sunny
days.
Surely something is wrong, guess the
weather clerks have things pretty well
mixed, or perhaps Old Boreas thinks he
is boss and is still striving for mastery
over the winds that come from the
southern skies. Well, he has big job
on hand and will probably need a Wig
gins or a Vennor to help toot his wind
horn. While spring still fingers on as
though loath to depart the calendar
warns us that its mission is about ended
and will soon give way to the early sum-
mer, the golden month of June, with
It's sunny days.
Notwithstanding the high winds and
cloudy weather the small grain is COM
ing on finely. Corn is coming on slow
ly, as it don't take kindly to this cool
weather, the stand is good and some
have commenced to cultivate.
G. w. Young, wife and children were
at the Island this week visiting friends.
George is one of the old reiia5les, he
came west to grow up with the country
and he stayed, don't you forget it.
