The Circle.

| Friday, as adverttseds tine Ledger
Owl ''ho0ked up' Jay Bennett's little
bay geldine, Holy Moses, and took a
little swing around the circle. Moses
was s'feeling his oatsP and the Owl
was feeling fine and dandy and our
day spent in the country was one
sweet dream, so to speak. When we
| take a swing and miugle with good
people, we always have good time.
It's a way we have. In the circle we
made, Friday, aud the farms and the
residences we passed and visited, we
can truthfully say no better or more
progressive people on this earth reside.
They are all prosperous and happy on
the good and only way. All had
good word to say for the Ledger-the
Great Religious Daily and Weekly.
OF course we stopped at the beauti-
full home OF Col. Price Johnson, just
long enough to help devour a big, fat
Juicy watermelon. Col johnson is
always there with the goods and owns
one Of the best 273-acre farms and the
finest modern country residence In
grand old Audrain county. Price has
10 100 acres Of the largest and best
corn that ever crow flew over. We
] thank Col and Mrs johnson for many
courtesies shown ns.
We then drove to the beautiful res
idence Of Col. and Mrs. VIM. Fecht,
where we extended the glad hand and
we're delightfully."- entertained for an
hour. The Platte Bros have recently
built a new modern residence for Col
/ Fecht and he and his happy family
I are sure there with the goods. Billie
I owns splendid plantation.
III We then went west and took dinner
I with our good friends. Major and Mrs.

1 tiou OF the day very delightfully."-. The
/ dinner-oh, we'll, IL was great, and
among the great variety of eatables
/ was fine, large gooseberry pie. o,
l Ioy We ate so much Of the good
things we really we're ashamed TO eat
y more It's not often poor printer
.. is allowed to enjoy SO sumptuous
- feast. We regret that the superin-
teudent of Duly Academy could not
be present to lend grace and beauty
to the occasion. She was busy with
her school duties. MISS Emerson has
one OF the largest and most progressive
G schools In grand old AudraiD county
and is In love With her profession.
Major Gard owns splendid farm and
MY has It we'll stocked. His home Is an
ith ideal one. We wish to thank Mr.. ant
Dle Mrs. Gard fol- the many courtesie
