eight more. Pretty good for an
unlucky Friday start. l had
reached j. G. Kessler's home, uI
on the ridge, and was so awfuI
hungry. l invited myself to din
ner, was cordially invited to seat
at the table, and set up to typic'
al farmers dinner. They were
harvesting hay and Mrs. Kessler
had the dinner required. Did !
eat? Well, / guess l did.

ly raise from my seat. | could
have eat more, but no more would
90 down. l was compelled to quit.
If you want a good dinner I'd ad-
wise you to try a harvest dinner
prepared by Mrs. Kessler.
In the afternoon l added four
more, the unlucky thirteen on an
unlucky Friday. At good supper
time | arrived at /. Inboden g,
where / was entertained for the
night. 1t was very agreeable
stop to me. Mrs. 1nboden was
very busy putting up berries but
was just as pleasant and enter
tanning as could be, and when L
left in the morning wished me
good luck and invited me to stop
whenever convenient.
By noon / had four more new
ones. | reached Isaac Weaver's 8
Just after the threshers had begun

was waited on by Mrs. Weaver's
two accomplished daughters, aged
Is and II, and l was served prop
erly and promptly. l am willing
to bet years subscription against
a "Four hundred dollar popular
contest Lindenburg piano" that
either could talk the bark off a
hickory tree. They are just as
handsome as they are bright and
jolly, and just as good as jolly. L
enjoyed my dinner hugely and left
with pressing invitation to be
sure and come again.
1 started out in good spirits and
succeeded in reaching Albert
Heft's home in time to talk my
self in for over Sunday. On my
way | succeeded in securing five
more subscribers.
My over Sunday with Albert
Heft and his estimable family was
certainly a very pleasant stay.
They all seemed to unite in max
ing my stay pleasant. And they
succeeded admirably. His two
sons, possessors of a mandolin and
guitar, enlivened things with some
splendid music. They are very
proficient. One of the boys is a

of the best bands, considering the
time employed in practice, it has
ever been our pleasure to listen to,

kinds of music in the house and
when we were not engaged in
social converse | was pumping
away on the baritone. Taking it
all in all ! don't think it possible
to have been more pleasantly en-
tertained. On Monday morning L
very reluctantly bid them good-b by
and started on my journey. While
there | was fortunate enough to
meet Mr.. Geo. W. Garfield, an old
resident and my neighbor in the
early sixties. Mr.. Garfield lives
just over the line in Fairfield
county, has fine farm and is
very comfortably situated. He
felt his situation would be com
plete with weekly welt OF the
DEMOCRAT -SENTISEL, and to that
end dropped dollar in my hand.
When left Mr.. Heft's | started
round the "loop", going down
Rush Greek until / came TO the
German Lutheran Church, where
crossed the creek and came back
up the other side. l almost sue
