Thursday of last week. 1t makes an
old chap sit up and take notice that
time is flying when he sees the son or
daughter OF an early settler who was
born i'm Emmons county and has grown
up here. Take Frank, for instance.
The writer was present at his parents

fractured leg, but his voice was not
fractured in the least, and, proppedup
with couple of big pillows, lie enter

manner. And now here comes Frank
