Thank you, kind neighbor, who halls

from you. AS it will be impossible
for me to attend the great National
Corn Show, am delighted to hear
we are to be ably represented and
therefore delegate to you the pleasing
duty, to give us, who are less for
tunate than you, report of this very

the affirmative-"Oh!" she effusiveIy
responded, 'how I do wish my hus-
