Green wood.

1t is said to be bad wind that blows
no ones ship in the right direction, and
the recent cold wave was no exception,
since it put stop to the torture of the
horn fly, at least, until next spring. And
let us hope there never will another one
hatch out.
Yes, October went ont in the rough,
and November came in quite similar, but
the autumn thus far, on the whole. has
been pleasant overhead, although too
dry under foot for comfort; and the de-
structive forest fires took advantage OF
the situation. But there has been sufi-
cient rain to extingnish the fires, and
faith tells US there will be more in the
near future.
The winter term of school commenced
here last Monday, taught by Miss Sadie
Davis. She has taught here before and
is very popular with the scholars.
When Thomas Green got burned out
last spring, he took his wife and six
children with him, pair of twin boys
and four girls, all except the youngest
girl being scholars here. which reduced
the school by five. Hence it follows
that by the death OF Mrs. Green six chill
dren were made orphans instead of four
as one reported il.
Some are marketing their potatoes for
So cents per bushel, while Others prefer
to hold them, now that they are in the
cellar and keeping well, for higher
price.
Still they are born, they grow up and
get married, many get divorced, all die
when their time comes and go TO THAT
undiscovered country, from whose bourn
no traveller returns" This time the
married couple are Mr.. George Emmons,
only son of Walter Emmons, and Miss
Ida Morgan, youngest daughter of Mr..
Austin +. and Mrs. May Forest Morgan.
Herbert Ring has built camp near the
lower end of Indian Pond, preparatory
to cutting pulp wood the coming winter,
aud the newly married couple intend to
work there; he as wood cutter and she
as camp keeper.
