AS | see that the news has been
scarce from the town of Tough
and it's surroundings, | will give
you a few of the happenings.
The weather has been real
warm here for a while and we
have been having some heavy
rains, which have done some
damage to the farmers crops, but
still there looks like there will
be fine crops to what they have
been sor several years. Wheat
was good and oats are looking
fine, corn is looking good consid-
ering everything, there is going
to be plenty of fruit most every
where in this neighborhood.
They have organized Bible
class at Perry Fortney's store,
at Tough. Meets every Sunday
at 3 o'clock p. m. Everybody is
invited to come in and take part
in the study and learn more of
Him who suffered and died upon
the cross that we might not per-
ish but have everlasting life,
The Bible is a book that we all
should read and learn more about
it and then practice what it
teaches.
Miss Mary Yoak, of Grants
vile, was visiting friends and
relatives at Tough last Sunday
and Monday.
Roy Snider returned home last
week from Clarksburg where he
has been for the past year en-
ployed by the B. & O. r. r.

We understand that Jackson
Richards has gone into the veter-
mary business. Here is wishing
Jackson success.
We are informed that E. r.
Fluharty is going to buy an au-
tomobile. His son, James, says
that he is doing everything ne
can to encourage his father to
buy. We see where you are
right James.
E. w. Snider, and f. E.
Means are still living bachelors
life. Don't get discouraged as
long as there is life there is hope.
| will close this time wishing
every body good health and sue
