nothing of national Importance has
transpired since l last wrote.
Nevertheless we are still on tie
rock, SO to speak, thriving and
striving aud driving.
Thanks be to God for the blessed
sunshine and the favorable change
in the weather.
Now since the weather will permit,
the fields will shortly receive a
great shaking up.
On the hilisides now can be seen
beautiful blue violets peeping up
here and there, aud the beautiful
green grass rapidly pushing It's way
into existence again.
The birds singing in the trees,
flowers blooming, sw.ethearts smiI.

that life ls worth living.
