and pulled out for the Old Settlers

right and had fine time. We

. time for 25 or 30 years. We
stayed all night at the Freeman
Hotel, and took in the picture

asked them what they We're doing
and they said they were just tax
ing in the sights. We asked them
where their wives were and they
said to just keep quiet. We took
in the big fire at Butler that night
The next day we landed at the
home Of Cameron Peeler in Hud-
son township. The next day we
took walk down to my partner s
big farm over in Rockville town
ship. The crops down in that
part are not very good. His wheat
made three bushels to the acre,
his oats made six bushels to the
acre and he thought that his corn
would make 80 bushels per acre.
His hay was very good. The far
mers down there have got fine
: looking country but the crops are
a failure. We went on down to
the little city Of Rockville. Trhe
crops are very light in that part.
We got dinner and took in the
town and It didnn t take us very
long to take in all of the sights
as we were acquainted with but
a very few people in the city.
They have nice little town. We
