Last week NJ. NJ. Kenny came near
getting leg broken while at work in

again warming up.

R. I. Whitman, who has been
spending the winter in Illinois, return
ed to his fine farm three miles south
east. When he left Illinois the first OF
the week there was lots of snow on the
ground, and he was surprised to learn
that our people had been sowing wheat
for two weeks.
Now that the Legislature has ad-
journed people will again have to be
more particular about locking up their
hen houses nights. five are TO believe

such habit of taking things that
even our hen-roosts may be despoiled.
All our old settlers who are com

The next two months will be the
time for those who are tilling the soil

soon as the weather will permit. Then
trust in Providence and put an insur
ance in some reliable company on al
least portion of it, and you are bound
to get some return.

in the one of 1888, while the sun oc
