Our farmers will remember that the
early frOsts last Fall did considerable dam
age to crops and should strive to get in

hot summer suns To germinatc them.
Thus far the heavy rams have kept them
back but now the weather Is good and
every effort should be used to advance the
planting Of crops.
Some Of our merchants are complain
ing OF "slOw" trade and can't account

would speak to their customers through,
the newspaper which is read and rc.rcad
several times, their trade would not he so
"slOw."

ing much Of their time preparing flower
beds and otherwise beautifying their front
yards Don't forget ladies', that Mr..
