Prosperity, Jan. 1T is not our in
tention to enter any complaint with our
Divine Ruler about any of His dealings
with us, for we receive many blessings
for which we are unthankful and when
anything happens against our way OF
thinking we are ye...' &Q: TO gf"1nbie.
But we started G.:lt % So" something
in regard to this weather. Isn't it
awful!
We've heard men well advanced in
years say that last month was the rough
est December that they could call to
memory, and the new year begins with
much snow.
But what s the use to whine about it..
''Smile and the world smiles with you,
weep and you weep alone. -
During these snowy days the hunters
have declared war against the rabbits
and some were very successful IN track
ing and killing them.
The oat corp is injured very much,
but we hope not all killed again.
Early last Tuesday morning the ther-
mometer registered around zero down in
these parts. Much of this kind of tenn
perature will destroy the grain.
We are anxious for the sun to shine
again so we farmers can get busy on
the job.
