more than pays the pasture bill.

Some one stole a march on our

posed the items to be from the reg

a few of the items as being wrong
and does not care to be responsible
for them. 1t would be a good plan
for correspondents to sign their
names each week for the guidance
of the publishers so that IN the
event of others writing from the
same community proper credit may
be given.
