Saturday was March the first, the
annual Moving Day for this section of |

more disagreeable time for moving. |
After so much snow and ice, followed |

amiserable condition and moving in
the country districts was accomplished
under serious difficulties. The day,
however, was nice overhead, and des-
pite the unfavorable conditions under
