you that we about Cambray are get
ting fine rain. 1t was too dry all
fall to plow and looked bad for
homesteading until about week ago
when we had rain enough to start
the pillow nicely, and then it began
last night and rained most all day,
so that the ground is thoroughly
soaked, and there will be chance
for any seeding desired and getting
ground ready for the spring.
AS we told you in our last letter,

last month the land on either side
has been sold for townsite and be-
fore spring we hope to see things
moving along that line.
