Prom Our Corrsspondsas-
Corn h1sting goes merriiy on, and
We suppose that Swan Strand win be
sbig man" in that line also, as he has
90 acres Of fairly good corn
In mentioning the rustIing farmers
here who are putting in fall grain, it is
sufficient to say they are all at it. But
since the appearance Of the thistle it
necessitates an extra job Of clearing
the ground first, which many are doing
with great risk Of starting bad prai-
RE fire.
The school teacher told asmall pupil
shat if he could tell Why man in the
field threw out his right arm every
time he stepped on his lame foot he
would not punish him for his Ofense."
The lad replied; che is throwing salt on
the birds tails to tame them, until he
he can plant his game foot on them for
scratching out his seed grain" P. s.
Punishment postponed.l
Ed Strand had a fine young mare cut
her foot nearly of in 3 wire fence last
week. This week he turned his herd
Of cattle in his stalk field and lost three
head, We presume, by their getting too
much smut.
J. B. Moore reports he dug q post
hole last Sabbath and the %devil" sud
denly appeared en- the spot and took
him away. But B. J. Horton says it was
Parson Stewart for he sent him down
Can't Jim and Baz make accounts hitch
better than that?
Warning notes on the bulletin board:
''if you don't chang that dam Ii about
me vii prosakute you and Stuarts
both" We plunge our pen in subser-
vent toll, it smells loudly Of midnight
oil. Instead Of Swan Strand being "big
with destiny, having (Only) 1000 bushels
Of wheat, he is high-mucky- muck with
/ 1000 bushels instesd-
And as to Gus Carter shipping q
carload Of wheat from Ruleton." He
sold his to local buyers reserving 8
gOOdly supply for bread and seed. And
reckons if he can find a spare horse
and harness he viii set his visiting
brother Erman to blowing for a spring
crop, while he himself puts in fall
crop.
But as to the exactness OF the day
Tom Mccoy pulled out for Iowa on,
"wiH see you later"
His cheeks we're pale, his eyes were blue,
His form was grecian bend.
The wind it Whistled down the fiue
His legs began to bend
/ A king is he, whose royal rule
Extends now Ger our country school
With Outstretcbed arms and outstretched legs
From the door with sudden vim,
On terra frma" he planted his pegs
Full twenty feet from within.
| He crooked his neck and looked around
For house in spIinters the ground.
He then dismissed his scholars from school.
As well as he was able,
Who'd stay in that house is a gOlderned fool,
Go home and recite your table"
We dare him say that this is not
/ A picture taken on the spot.
