The unseasonableness of the season
still continues in many respects. Rid
ing along the road and looking over the
forests, one sees a decided tinge of color
coming over them, while here and there
a maple flames out scarlet or shows its
peculiar mahogany brown. Sept. 1st
would seem a more appropriate date
than Aug. 18th.
Among the Old Home Week visitors is
John Parsons of Santa Ana, Calf, who
is with his cousin, Deacon S. r. Par
sons. Mr.. Parsons, who is now mer-

brought up on the Parsons farm, and
after that long absence he finds the old
place surprisingly little changed.
