An AlI-'Round Farmer.

David Gregory, who owns and
resides on the farm of his grand
fathet, the late David Gregory, at
Gregory's fording In Thompson
township, is putting new build
lngs on the farm and other wise
greatly improving 1T. Last Thurs
day about fifty of his nelghbors
assem- bled at his home and assist
ed IN the raising of the frame
work of a bank barn 80 by 20 feet.
While Mr.. Gregory is just a plain
everyday farmer, he is one of
those handy all-around speople
that can turn his hand to almost
anything that needs dong about
the farm; and so, when he decid-
ed to build barn, he gathered
up a saw, augers, square, and
other necessary tools and played
boss carpenter, designing the
building, laying it off, superln.
tending the work, and in reality,
doing much of it himself, and his
neighbors say that when it came
to the raising, every piece went
right to it's place without the
slightest hitch.
1t might be added that DAVE
not only successfully played the
role of boss carpenter, but is a
concrete artist as well, for he
constructed a concrete fOunda.

rest upon.
