The location of r. Nj. Purdom's
home and the neat surroundings
makes it present comfortable home

In continuing l come to Mrs. HOr-
ney's place. She, with the assistance
of her brother, Jack Hays, it seems

many others in her circumstances
could not have done.

ticed quite bunch of cattle which
shows that he did not become panic
stricken and rush his stock onto the
market at time when he could not
get the cost of raising them, but he is
in position to make some money
when the tide turns.

In looking at A. B. Vincils premis-
es as pass, am constrained to be-
lieve that he is good farmer and do
not believe that he feels the force of
hard times as many others do.
Lon Vancil who has lived on
farm near the river bridge for several
years, has renewed his lease for five
years more. The fact of his remain
