passed without any of its character
istic furry. We feel pretty safe in
saying that spring has conn to stay;
that is, we do not expect any con-
tinued bad weather. Perhaps not in
years has the transition been so thank
fully received by farmers, when corn,
oats, bran, shipstuff and sawdust sell
so remarkably high.
The writer has ''put in his garden"
planted potatoes and sowed oats and
timothy. Quite a number have done

While there will be a good crop of
apples, damsons and pears, there will

Not long ago the writer had occas-
ion to go to Mr.. Sawyer's mill, on
East Fork, and while there noted the
vast amount of business transacted in

lies living at or near the mill, where
two years ago only two or three houses
could be seen. Mr.. Sawyer is a good
business man noted for his generosity.
which the people, i. that locality par
ticularly, very much appreciate.
