or two of which can be noticed here.
Touching big game there, he said it
was quite plentiful, one fine doe falling
by his rifle on the morning he started on
his visit. 1t is also a favorable location
as a summer resort for city people, who
have built and are building camps in all
directions.
The frost there on the 3lst of August
made clean work of it, so that the fodder
corn was harvested for the silo at once.
Corn is raised there only for that pur-
pose.
Speaking of frost it might be mention
ed here that the first hard enough to
kill vegetation was on the morning of
the 2lst of October, when the ground
was white and water frozen so as to
bear up the ducks. There have been
several snow squalls recently, the one on
the 10th whitening the hilltops, $50 as
last clause is taken from the Bible, and
where is the Sunday School scholar in
his or her teens who can tell us where
it occurs? 1t is the only place where We
ever saw the word white used as transi-
tive verb.
Herbert Rings little daughter has had
throat trouble for same time, and the

tonsil with other distractions, and the

in the habit of spending several weeks
with Mrs. A. S. Brooks so as to avoid
hay fever, but last spring feeling better
than formerly, and having good situa-
ton she risked the fever, but finally had
it, and the doctor advised her, il she
wanted to live, to come up here among
the hills where the air is pure, and she
took his advice and is now much improv-
ed ia health.
Sophia Bsbee, whose death was re-
ported last week, was the daughter of
the late Elisha Bisbee and first cousin
