The pipe line men who have been here
for couple OF weeks changing lines for

we're satisfied with the accommodations
and kindness ofthe family.

either had broken our writing machine
or had been jailed, but we are thankful
that we are here with part OF the goods

There are some people around within a
few miles of this place that are going to

1t is burning shame to cut down tree
to get its fruit and it is only for the lack
of evidence that the guilty parties are not

of it. There has been no frost along the
creek yet but on the hills the weakest
vegetation has been bitten. Cucumber
vines are bearing and beans are in blos-
som yet. Ifany one thinks we are re-
lated to Ananiss of bible times we will
prove that we are not by producing the
goods we speak of.
