land agents smile is as broad as the
old.time country fireplace But the
pessimist is among us. The web

and are now up. and if no great dis
aster befalls people will have fine po-

The mule-buyer is still in the coun.
try, and the great loan companies are
advertising extensively and the land

The health of our country is dis

hoping for better times
Our school began this morning with
the best attendance We ever had on
