Notwithstanding the danger that
turks in the theft of another's prop

personal injury is liable to be In
f1icted, thieves have continued with
impunity to raid the peach orchard

That hom esickness is only ap-
licsble to human beings was dem
onstrated this week when Toby"
the donkey that residents have seen
about the town hitched to cart
with much amusement. This know
ing animal, after residence of al
most forty years with the Buckelew
family, of town, and over two thirds
of that time at the Buckelew cram
berry bogs, was farmed out to a fam
lily living in Hooker street and SO
keenly did Toby" object to the
change of home that he was only by
the greatest effort restrained from re-
turning to his home OF many years.
His desire to return became so acute
that John Vohman, who has had him
in charge for number of years, f.
nally returned Toby" to his place
and the animal is once more happy.
