HERMANN's FIRST DAYS WORK IN
 AMERICA WHILE A "aREENHORN."
 Hermann King (Koenig) one of our respected citizens relates story to the writer concerning his first days work in America. He says over 20 years ago MT Ferris of New Milford, a farmer, was conducting large farm vest 4f the village, now known as the large tobacco grower at that time made one of his regular trips to Castle Garden to get farm hands. On one of these trips Hermann was brought up here by Mir Ferris and playing the cen ter figure. The next morning after Hermann's arrival MT Ferris took him ] and a span of mules to repair the highway. MT Ferris, taking team and road scraper ScOOped up load drawing 1t to the center of the road and made motions to Hermann to continue doing the same along the road. With this MT Ferris left him to his fate. Her English, and did not know if he was on highway or a vacant lot. But being industrious, he started to do a big days work to please his master, with his span of mules old Pete" and "Clam." They worked drawing earth, scraper after scraper, and dumping it at the same place where MT Ferris had dumped the first load. At noon Her. mann had piled up heap of earth at least 10 feet high. His team not being able to climb this huge mound of earth with load, he had to dump it at the foot and then throw it to the top with his shovel: Passing teams had to turn out into the ditch and the drivers looked back with grin for which Her mann returned his smile, king that his work pleased them all. One man with load of logs had to take down a rail fence and go across lots to clear that great Mount Vesuvius for fear of an eruption. About that time MT Ferris put in his appearance and walk ing around the great mound of earth surveying it from top to bottom he mOt1Oned to Hermann that he had done enough and it was time to have dinner. Hermann had expected some one would bring his lunch and flask of schnapps, which is the custom in Ger many. MT Ferris and Hermann started homeward for their dinner. Hermann, who knew more by this time, went back to work with his team, distributing his huge mound of earth along the highway which he claimed later made mile of good substantial road. Old "Pete" and ''Clam" have long since gone to the Happy Hunting Ground but Hermann is still on deck, right side up with care, industrious as ever but not engaged in the mound building business.
