so that people could go to church on

drift with wet feet on hands and knees

Mr.. J. ID. McCauley of Toilette was il
the city Saturday, and among othe
things expressed his opinion that tn,
extreme high water predicted by man,
he don't expect to see. While there viii
be plenty of water there is no doubt

says he has wintered all his horses, say,
the team he has been working, OF
wheat straw alone, without a kernel O

dition and healthy. It is the first tim
he has tried this and he considers it
big saving on the farm.
