We have a lady who Is one OF our
summer residents, says that to keep
her children out of mischief and 10
know where they are, she had two
loads of river sand hauled and put UNI
der big tree near the house, and gave
them shovels and buckets to play with,
and they play for hours together.
Mothers try this and you will not re-
greet IL.
Jacob Norett, our enterprising wheel
wright, few days ago gave your
humble servant bag full OF delicious
plums, they were blue in color and as
large as pigeons eggs. He always has
O crop of plums because he carefully
watches the tree. and knocks off the
insects that destroy them. A spike
lis drove in the centre OF the body OF
the tree, and on this he strikes with a
hammer, and the critters fall on
sheets and he gathers them up and
throws them into the fire.
