Gently he completed 40, feet for
Nose Hendrick, with which material
Nose will build large barn the com
ing season. He is just finishing up
nice saving for John Zenz, the
lumber to be used for a large shed
this year. There were some fine logs
in Mr.. Zenz's saving, one red oak
log cutting $40 feet, and white oak
cut made 400 feet. These nice logs

John Smith, the pioneer resident of
Beetown, was in town on business one
day last week. Mr.. Smith is hale
and hearty at the age of Sc. He cuts
his own wood. hunts, trans. and does
considerable mining. He attributes
his remarkable health and activity TO
the fact that he keeps busy at his
various occupations. Says that if he
would sit down and give up and
think of old age and decrepitude. he
would be nearly helpless inside of
three months. Added to this policy,
we take it, Mr.. Smith always has
been man of regular and temperate
habits Another point in his favor is
that his occupations have been healthy
and close to Nature. Mr.. Smith &C.
