D. Webster Baker of above
place, in a letter to his cousin r.
j. ThompSOG says:
"We have had a very moderate
winter. 1t was not equal to the
mildest we have had, but was
rather better than the average
wheat got a splendid start last
fall owing to an unusual amount
Of wet weather and has come
through the winter without in
jury. There has been a good deal
of rough weather this month.
Sabbath Q7th inst.) was like a
day in May, but today (20th) is
altogetherlike March, cloudy cold
and exceedingly windy.
eve are all in good health at
this time and have been so all
winter.
"Our Oldest son Frank, was
twenty-one the 18th inst. He in
tends to start to Butte, Montana,
one day this week.
"There is very little to do here
outside of the towns, except
farming, and on account of the
improved machinery of recent
years, there is less demand for
hired help on farms than former
ly. Land is too high priced now
for any one without capital to
buy.
There are farms for rent, but
the competition among renters is

Brother Francis Baker and
wife had a son born to them on

''This is notan uncom mon occur
renee IN many families; but when
we take into consideration that
this gentleman did not succeed in
finding the one western girl that
was willing to share life's happi-
ness, joys and sorrows with him,
until he had almost arrived at the
fortieth mile stone, we are not
surprised at the joy in their home
at the birth of the first born, a
son"
Do not wonder, at the news
being waited back from Nebras.
l6a to the Old keystone State,
away down into Little Fulton the
birth place of Daniel Webster and
Asbury Francis Baker, sons OF
Jacob and Maria Baker. Jacob
Baker, was one of the best school
teachers in his day. He taught
successfully the winter terms in
the northern part of Fulton from
1S49 to 1870, the writer has WV
id recollection of the weight,
smart, and toughness, of Jacob
Bakers hickory rods, of almost
fifty years ago, when some pa
rents and teachers considered
thatcorporalpunishment, was the
fundamental principel to good
behavior and better learning.
