spring weather has not arrived. except

to herald it, if it treats US badly. Very
little has begun to be done by the far
mers near town; they say the ground
is too cold to work, and they viii be Just
!, as far advanced with their work by
holding off a little longer. Firewood
for the summer is being gotten in, and
as there are now but few fences to
make, the farmer is relieved Of q heavy
burden in that line. Truckers are buy

waters of the Broadkiln for our regular

to make a weekly fool out Of himself
/ like some of the rest of US, and get him
self entangled in somebody else's bust
ness. All right, old friend, enjoy your
| laurels.
