Mr.. Will Powell has bought
a cultivator that cultivates two
rows at a time. How the
world is advancing, when | was
a boy we used small pillow to
do the cultivating and had to
hoe all the corn twice.
1t was disappointment to
quite a number in Sleepy Hol-
low because there was no show.
Even some from Gooseberry
Hollow were disappointed.

lay. He has been confined to
his home for a number of years
