BAGLEY.
During our four days visit last
week among the WYalusing farmers,
our means of locomotion the early
train to Wyalusing the stage to
Geo. Harvill's, the hayrack to Harry
Hal Wills, on the old homestead and
the legomobile to Mr.. E. D. Gulick,
where we stayed two nights. At
the Burg we met G. Il. Foster,
T. Maben and A. Anderson, mer-
chants; we then made special point
to visit Grandma Shrake, 90 years
old and still able to do out washing
and keep house for her son Abner.
Mrs. John Elder crippled with
rheumatism, sits IN her wheeled
chair, and has not been down town
for two years.
We called on Will Quarterman, a
broken down farmer, who now lives
in town. His physical condition
seems to effect his mind and is al
most helpless. The greatest object
of pity was Mrs. John Roar, a
total wreck and hopeless invalid a
mere shadow of her former self
since the death of her faithful and
noble hearted son Cabbie. She has
been tenderly cared for by her
daughter Bertha.
We chatted with H.Baum er, who
recently moved back from Nc
Oregon.
We ate dinner with Walt Shrake.
Walt has a nice home and family,
and is one Of our popular free mail
route men. A lift on the stage, set
us down at the pleasant little acre
home of Geo. Harvill. We found
Geo., Fanny and the children,
| Velma, Leta, Efie and Master
Lloyd all we'll and lively as crickets.
Here we spent the first night out;
failing health indeed, Harvill to
leave his big farm in charge Of his
industrious son Harry, VINO with
the help of hired man, his wife
and tiny girl of II months, manage
to hold the fort in fair shape.
Father Harvill keeps poultry, has a
good garden, keeps COWS and thinks
it better than to live in town. Oh!
you would think so, to see the nice
thick cream on the berries; this is a
pleasant home and happy lot, and
we have sigh of regret. as we
climb in the hay rack to go to his
son Harry's, where we stayed the
second night. Supper at the home
of Walt Gulick and visit with his
| family, very pleasant indeed. Walt
was busy in the hay, and has a fine
farm and home, keeps 10 COWS and
like all prosperous farmers counts
profits in cream checks; surely since
we quite the farm, things have
changed, produce brings better
price. and with the use of improved
machinery. Oh you bet, nice all
around.
