The Creamery Association was busy
the first of the week putting up ice
for the summer use. The cold wealth

pleasures of life become necessity
and the opening of this pleasant home
thus is only one of the GASES along

George Gray returned home, Satur-
day, from Texas enthusiastic over the
prospects in that southern cline. He
has purchased one hundred acres for
rice, which promises soon to be one of
the principal occupations of that

and they are sinking one about
twelve miles from him. He thinks
there is oil all over that country.
Grant Lancelot writes home that
he was one of the u out Of sixty that
received state certificate from the
examination taken last Christmas
time. Grant is deserving of much
credit for the passing the examination
on branches that he has studied out
himself unaided by teachers. 1t is
easy enough to pass on studies that
he has had at school but when he has to
sit down and dig out those things for
ones self it comes different and lots
harder We all feel proud OF his ac-
compllshments and only wish for him
still more sncess.
