l think thsrs have. been more cases
of grippe in this winter than ever
before. As rule the cases are mild,
lasting but day or two. One of
my neighbors, however, L. T. Eide,
was confined to the house wit for full
~ week, not being able to get out
to do his his chores, even.
At this writing Mr.. and Mrs. O.
M. Perrin are still in Missouri, where
they went to SEQ Mrs. Ferrin's
mother who has been ailing for some
time. They did not find her any
worse than they expected, but still
she 10 much reduced and quite weak
and seemingly broken in health.
The younger daughter, who is still
at home, was obliged to give up her
school so as to be able to care for
her mother.
Everybody is pleased to see the
advance in prices of farm produce.
Good times for farmers means good
times for everybody. Good times
for the merchant both in the way of
selling more goods and also in max
ing collections; good times for the
dealers in farm machinery, for grain
buyers, for lumber dealers, for all
kinds of tradesmen, blaeksmiths. car
penters. The improved conditions
will also touch the banker, the law
yer, the doctor, and, let us not for
get to say, the publisher of the home
paper. IT any man is deserving of q !
share of the good things, It il surely
the home publisher whose chief bust
ness is-or ought to be-to aid in
furthering in our own community
every object that u good and worthy.
BY the way, excuse ne If I say, here.
that If our local editors would saw
less about politics and more about
home matters, their editorial pages
