neighbor, always willing and ready to lend
hand to the wants of her friends, of whom
she had many. She will be greatly missed,

to hear from our old friend W. n. through
the columns of The journal last week and
trust that its regular visit to his home will

apples for the Boston market. Apples are
bout gone out however. Lots of grating
is being done in town and it pays to do it,

curse to the farm, but the same tree grated
md otherwise taken care of, can be made a
valuable adjunct to the farm. Joel Works
one of our Oldest citizens, has been spending
the winter with his daughter in Jackson
and has been in very poor health. The
first of April we had occasion to visit the
farm of Hon. l. G. Reynolds of South
Brooks and the visit to his sheep barn was
we'll worth the trouble. He has a flock OF
s ONE forty lambs that could not be exceled
in the State. Many of them We're three
months Old and weighed from forty to sixty
pounds. He has since dressed quite num-
Der for the Boston market, getting five and
six dollars apiece for them. 1t will pay
those interested in sheep to drive ten miles
to see Mr.. Reynolds flock. W. S. Jones,
