And then again she wandered rest

in all day helping Anna rehand the
bedroom curtains (they had been too
short.) And now must she spend the
long evening alone? And was this only

neglect? Did the future hold for her
countless lonely evenings?
She had chung to the belief that
when once they were really settled in

happy. Through all the disappoint-

reduce your weight. and when this is
done you will feel much better and
healthier. To prepare the treatment
get from your druggist ounces par

gently and safely reduces weight with

Drew Daughdrill of McLain was
oyer Monday looking after some
land matters. Drew ssys that the
most room for criticism he can see
with the good roads being builded in
the county is the lack of putting in
enough and big enough culverts, in
order that blowouts may be avoided
to fills IN the hollows. This IS a
problem which our road building
crews are showing Improvement in
handling and we trust that they will
come to guage adequately the de-
mands for drainage to the pixies they
throw up over the county. The heavy
rains this Spring and last come at
good time to teach the unusual pres
sure which the roadwaYs are liable
to sustain from wet seasons and will
likely prove useful lesson in the
long run, learnt at the right time.
