what were are told.
The average yield of wheat in this vici-
nifty is three bushels per acre; oats, corn
and barley are equally as poor; buck
wheat promises to be fair crop while
vegetables are tiptop. So buckwheat
pancakes and vegetable soup .will form
our favorite meal during the present year
All the schools around us are in running

still, Mr.. Meisnest who has acres of them

worm and dry weather will make this a
tough year for the honest farmers around

pioneering was done however as the entire
squad were on their way to and from
Reedsville, where free larger was the or
der of the day.
A preacher of the gospel from some
foreign land is erecting temple OF wor-
ship in the Rapids village. What denonl-
ination he belongs to we are unable to

| liberal in his view and willing to admit
that most of us will meet again when the
grim messenger carries us to the unknown
| Any person who finds it necessary to
cross the Branch, at this place, with a
team and wagon after dark would need
to have eyes like a leopard. AS you APP
proach the west end of the bridge there
| is an abrupt descent of several feet and
unless you're conscious OF your where
| abouts you will have all opportunity to
imagine yourself going down to one of
the private chambers of Limbo. Go few
feet further ahead and you will be treated
to another descent of the same kind
This has been a miserable piece of high
way for years and it seems impossible to.
keep it in repair.
