1t has been so frightfully dry for the
past couple of months that there has
been so much dust on my brain that l
have been unable to make that nerve
power perform its usual function, but
since the splendid rain Of last week
the cobwebs have been washed away,
and l { am again my usual self.
During the period of my inactivity,
several presumptious persons have
actually done me double service: first
by keeping We readers informed Of
the news, and second by trying to
brand mt an impostor. To these,
whose names | purpOseIy omit, l am
very grateful and if you desire to
please me do the same again, for there
Is nothing [ like more than notoriety,
The Johnny on the Spot from
Fairview must have been off the
"Spot" last week, for the big Winton
was heard with it's chug-chug-bang on
the streets Of Moe on the Friday be-
fore. 1t should have been heard in
Fairview too.
The farmers are beginning the corn
harvest this week.
Jas. Overseth has been a very busy
man since he returned from the west
last week with a big bunch OF cattle.
He has now about finished placing
them with the farmers in this section.
