By Mrs. X. T.. holland

Joe Amos has finished threshing il
this neighborhood and moved his ma.
chine to the Ola country. C. F. Camp
bell has taken the job of engineer
for Mr.. Amos.
r. +. holland is cutting alfalfa seed
this week. The crop seems heavier
than last year and the weather more
favorable for curing the seed.
Arthur Holbrook of Dubois and his
mother Mrs. Roland from Palco,
Kansas, relatives Of the JONES family,
are here on a visit Mrs. Roland
thinks of locating somewhere in Idaho.
Albert Dudenbostel returned from
his vacation Monday and his smiling
face is again seen behind the counter.
Harvey Garfield, who was badly
hurt by his horse running into a guy
wire Of an electric pole, is getting
along very nicely. When the band
ages are removed the side of his head
reminds us of crazy patchwork
quilt. Or. Reynolds took several
stitches to close the ugly wound. II
seems strange there is not enough
room for guy wires without taking
up some of the road.
Miss DudenbosteI, who visited in
Montour for several weeks, has gone
to spend some time with her cousin
Mrs. Win Cook at Ola.

were extra large. R. f. did not catch
the most, but he landed the largest

All suggestions for the betterment of the
