LETTER.

The demand for good holly wreaths
is better at the present time than foI
many seasons past. The reason for
this great C,~and is tne the scarcity
OF holly 81. Tie buyers are
searching ..- "..c.l -.r persons who
have WIee.4s m-.u berries on them,
and the prices being offered range
from 10 70 10 cents each. One col
ored man in this section, who has holly
berries for his wreaths. is averaging
over $40 per day from the business.
Another family makes an average Of
S25 per day for the tntire family.
These prices are equal TO war time
prices and assures the wreath makers
Of a fine Christmas.
The severe wind last Friday reach

raking the fodder up with horse rakes.

lost several stacks OF fodder which
were blown down and carried away by
the wind. Esquire Ellegood ordered
his tenants to rake his share of the
fodder into the stock yards for manure
This is hard on the price OF feed.
