vile Landmark says:
"He keeps house, does the milking
tends to the chickens, shoots dogs
feeds the hogs, etc. for his board
and he is all right. too. You may
just bet he is in demand about this
time of the year. No use to apply
for his service now. He is engaged
for some time ahead"
A man like that is a blessing to
