Messrs. Ounce James, Bud Dudley,
Rube Landrum and several others
would like to know what has become
of the land buyer that bought their
land a few days ago. He said he came
from New London and was of that IL
lustrious family by the name of
Grimes. We presume he was a grand
son of that good old man who became
famous in song. Mr.. Grimes, Jr., was
a fine looking man, medium height
and sat very graceful IN a horse, as
the gentlemen a testify that rode
around with him to show him their
fine farms. He purchased about 400
acres of land. An abstract was called
for of n piece of land and while the
attorney went 20 Mexico to procure 1T
Mr.. Grimes took a walk down the
north road towards Farber and has not
returned. Perhaps he is looking for
more land.
Mr.. Albert Graves, of Calwood, Cal

John Brown and Walter Pearson

We believe if the rain would cease
and farmers could get to work they
would, to a degree, forget to talk hard
times and live more in a hopeful state.
Let prospects be ever so bad, it makes
them worse to brood over them,
There is nothing like cheerfulness Ia
