little headway and was in somewhat bad repute

Importance may be known from the fact that from
1915 TO l72 he represented the town in the General
Assembly shared these feelings in common with his
neighbors. But Sunday in the fall OF l1S3 the
Colonel summoned all his servants and set ont upon
the task of saving his wheat from the rains that
threatened It may be said in extenuation of the
Coonels conduct that severa, times before this the
wheat had been soaked by the showers and h1l

ton for garnering before another rain came on.
Another storm would have wrought great damage ID

all known traditions and rules, set about with the
