Postmaster Wahl is not an idle

Postmaster VAIL is not an idle
man by any means. There is a
large territory that gets mail
from this center. One day last
week thirty sacks Of mail ar
rived, it was a whole dray load.
No sack weighed less than a
hundred pounds and some went
as heavy as one hundred and fifty
pounds. Ten sacks were filled
with mail order catalogues and
from now on there will be others
busy besides the postmaster.
On the Joe Brown farm there
is a crab tree that is the envy
Of every fruit grower in this
vicinity. The tree was loaded
with fruit, it is not known just
how many bushels were picked
from it. The apples ripened be-
fore the frost and as a result
the basement, Of the Brown house
in town, contains a quantity OF
glasses Of jelly, butter and
pickles all made from the crab
apples that grew on one tree.
Frank Tower was in from the
Sorocco farm Saturday and was
as jovial as ever. He had re-
,,ooooJ n ~o+oo f,~ono 4bo T,oolor
office and came to town prompt
ly to pay his subscription. MI.
Tower did not appear to be in
the least disappointed in not
getting a bumper crop this year.
He always sees the bright side
Of life mad gets others to smile
while he smiles. We need more
men in this country like MI.
Tower.
