ACORN ACTIONS.

There are no sick ones on our
beat at this writing except couple
|of holdovers, such as this writer and
old Brother Jim Owens. Neither of
us can report progress. but we are
not complaining of our-lot, for it
Is not all of life to live, even in this
beautiful world.
And still business is brisk trad
ing in land, horses cows and every
thing else worth dickering for.
Some are building extensively.
|others are moving. and still others
are seeking a place to move to.
The renters seem to be the hardest
class to accommodate. We have
plenty Of land that needs working,
but ii is not under fence and our
town is about full
Gene Anderson and the Evans
boys of Acorn have ordered a i2-
horsepower gasoline engine with all
the necessary attachments, to run
a single mill saw. We surely favor
that enterprise, for we need the
shingles and so do many others.
DR.. w. N. Starbuck has bought
property and has moved to Acorn,
where we intend to have his SER
vices as postmaster after the re-
turns are all in, but in the mean
time, our office is well kept by dep
uties.
Our late sown wheat is coming
nicely. Wish now we had sown
more than ten bushels, as we look
for scant stock feed when cropping
gets we'll under way next season.
Hay of different kinds is reported
in plenty and it will answer a good
purpose, but the work teams must
have some grain or there will be
no deep blowing done. However,
this writer has made fair crops on
grass alone. but who will humble
himself that way in this fast age?
We have about two acres each
in new ground of purple top and
cow horn turnips. The horns stand
we'll up above the ground and the
foliage is light, therefore they were
somewhat damaged by the frost.
lhe ovals are not hurt nearly so bad
So this Monday and Tuesday are
strenuous pulling and hauling DAYS
with all the unemployed and par
TALLY engaged. Now don't bob IN
and say we should have gathered
secacr, fGT we just couldn't get
there. But mind you, there ore tons
or roots under cover for future
reference.
Now we send good wishes for
pleasant Thanksgiving to all the
readers of The Star, aud will try
to get up something more readable
for clever old December.
Praise the Lord for this delight
