Sebastion blowing the meadow ly-
ing along the Harrington and Fred
cricktown road ON the old Sebastian
farm. Although the grass has been
moved from this meadow for near II
hundred years by successive genera
lions, It's virgin soil has never been
plowed. Although it has become
necessary, from a commercial stand
point, to convert this beautiful old
meadow into wheat field, all par
ties concerned look on with n feel

where Judge Cook, for whom this
neighborhood was named, was en-
tertaincd by his friend, Mr.. George
Sebastian, when he came to spy out
this goodly land.
