II is doubtful if the person lives who
remembers a fall and winter up TO the
last week in January, when there fell so
little rain and snow as in the two seasons
in question. Winter came in with the
fountains at low water mark, with the
result that their wells or aqueducts have
been dry for several weeks, thus making
il necessary TO melt snow or bring water
from a more favored location for all
purposes. But there is plenty of ice in
the ponds yet, and thoss who are bar
vestng it report il two feet thick aud
nearly all of first quality.
Snow is not more than foot deep in
the woods, thus making il very con-
venient for cutting and hauling timber;
aad sleighing could not be finer even If
made TO order.
Aud now they are beginning to talk
about getting their town reports ready
for March meeting which is fast APP
preaching.
Our company the past week consisted
of Mrs. Edgar Morgan and little boy,
Willie, also |. w. Swan of LOcke's Mills,
who rhe doctors thought year ago,
was very near the end of life.
Mrs. Ransom Cole is now slowly i'm
proving with fair prospect of recovery.
Jason Bennett has hired out TO D. K.
Cole cutting timber, while his wife is
stopping with her folks at the City.
They intend to commence keeping house
on the Charles Brooks place in the
spring
Did anybody's eggs get broken the
first of the week. when they fell from 80
TO "a cents in one day?
Slocum's history of those double we'd
diugs was particularly interesting to us,
since we were an eyewitness to the first
mentioned. Rev. Benjamin Wiley tied
the knots and they were performed in
first class style. He was a brother to
the Mr. Wiley, who with whole family,
well known in history.
Within few days DR. Jayne's medical
almanac found its way here, and also
Hoods calendar in miniature form, &C
cOmpaned by picture of pretty girl.
Both are worth looking at, the former
giving the most detailed history of
Perry's victory We have ever seen, and
the latter tells US all about their Won
derful medicine, and how many cslen-
dars they have published during the las,
% years; the number being several
million year.
Now that it is well along in January,
perhaps il is time to publish our death
record for 1910, only promising that the
persons here mentioned were, or had
been, all known in former years.
