The country is filled with summer visitors

to return. This speaks well for the people
and is good recommendation in many ways.
We have recently experienced great vari-
ETY. of weather-very cold some days and

Church. where six grandsons carried the re-
mains to their last resting place.
Mr.. Robert Morgan continues the successful
handling of horses at Manor Glen track and
has proven very useful at the business.
Those having unruly animals should give him
a trial. He says the horses that give him the
most trouble are those that have very little
handling until thew are or years old. He
has had to deal with several of these and he
has never failed in his efforts to subdue them
and make them useful animals.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dixon Connolly have been
