THIS FAVORED SECTION.

deal of rain fell none of the trying
weather reported from other sections
prevailed here.
But it is not only weather in which

the ideal section for everything that
contributes to the comfort, happiness
and well-being of its people in every
way. 1t is in fact Gods country.

bring it this way.

'YOU old hogu" is what one of
