CORRESPONDENCE.



( valley, and what we do see is simply
Mr.. So and So called on his best
girl or something like that. Now
we have reason to be proud of our lit
tie village. We have three stores, 90
ing good business, two planning mills.
one -four mill. one blacksmith shop,
one boarding house, two undertaking
establishments, two nice churches,
one parsonage, and our beautiful farm
land all looking lovely. Our pasture
fields looking almost as green us sum-
mer, whilst this time last year, all
was brown and barren, and our barns
scant Of feed, whilst now we can boast
of our full barns, and our corn fields all
dotted over with the rich golden corn.
and some have their cribs full, and
not room to store the rest. Our wheat
prospect looks rather poor as we are
having severe drought, but we Will
still try to trust in Divine Providence
for the future. We are passing through
a severe malady of sore throat amongst
the children Mr.. @. W. James lost
sweet little girl, and several more
are sick. Our schools are all closed
for the present.
The farmers realized the largest
| profit from the fruit crop this year,
ever known, and got all kinds of prices
from 81 20 to So. so per barrel. We
would suggest to our dealers to estab-
| lish more uniform price another,
wear. Because one man is blessed with
two or three times as many apples as
another, it does not make his apples
worth any more per barrel than the
poor man with ten bushels. If we
could only be so fortunate as to get a
railroad through here, we wuold be
all o. X as our dealers have said that
we can grow the finest fruit in the
country We have free delivery of
mail, and 1t works like charm. We
only have to step to the gate for our
mail, Notwithstanding the fact that it
takes four days for some Of our mail
to get from the starting place, that
usually came in from one to two
days. Carriers look sharp, it might
cause little job for detective.
Now l Will not take any more of
your valuable space, and il this does
not find IFS way to the waste paper
basket, you may hear from me agian.
