Mrs. Struthers showed him a plump
turkey hen that q kind lady friend had
sent TO the house with the message that
it was for Mr.. ~Struthers' Sunday din-

when our better-half requested us to
etep over to p neighbor's and purchase
her q peck of sweet potatoes and, on
our complying with her request, the
good wits OF U neighbour filed the bae-
ket and refused to accept pay for same.
And again, when we requested the good
wife Of one of our citizenr to sell III
some collards, and she replied that hel
garden was open to us, to help our
selves-refusing remuneration.
Most of our readers are familiar with
