Remarked farmer who was hauling
timber the other day: "Who ever saw
so much business done on so little snow
as there has been this winter? On the
Stony Brook road there hasn't been over
two inches of snow and ice at any time,
and a good deal of the time it has been
so that you could see the earth right
through, but there's been a pile OF team
ing done, there and everywhere else,
and there never was more stun hauled
into this village in winter than there
has been this winter" And we guess
he's right.

Fletcher placed his last potato in his
pail and won the contest Perkins had
only one potato left.
