The much needed rains have made
the farmers hearts rejoice at such
blessings. Wish you could see them

There is a young lady in our
neighbcrhood who would prefer a
visit from her best fellow with a
horse and buggy rather than a
bicycle as she says she does not like
bicycle riding for herself, but de-

men, give up your wheels and use
horses and buggies when you 60 to
see your girls or you may get left.

There are two young men of OR
vicinity, viz: Messrs. Henry F. an

can guess their business and prepare
to say yes or no.
