penings this week.

W, elk, which We were very glad to
see so we could finish fixing up our
hard land and plaut some cotton
and corn. Some have already plant
ed, but I guess they are some
what scared since it has turned off
cold. The grain crop is looking
fine since the rain. Hope we will
make good crop this year as the
corn is getting low in some of our
cribs.
