first of the week. He is oanvasing
for book at the present time and we
are glad to note that numerous Hepp-

Mr. link along and enables him to do
towards making a living
for his family. He has been laid up
for many months on account of badly |
broken leg and has had heavy ex-
penses to meet. We are glad TO note
his rapid improvement at this time.
David Hynd was in from Sand Hol-
low on Tuesday. The frosty weather
out his way has stopped the growth of

his fruit was pretty well advanced

rope that this may not prove the
,ase.
