am taking any chances In paying two
years In advance for your valuable
Old Time Sentinel, which I eagerly
look for every week.
Thanking you for many favors In
the past and wishing you a very Hap

Dobyns g. Curry, Oregon, Mo-: I like
TO get the old home paper. We have
moved (or traveled) from place TO
place, but at last. think we have found
an ideal place TO live. Generally the
winters are mild. On Dec. l-inch
snow fell, and we had ten days Of real
winter weather for this country---the
temperature was down to 8 above zero
on the 10th.
We have fruit IL abundance, such ~
apples, peachsg, plums, berries, etc.
This has BEEN IN unusual prosperous
year for the farmers here In the
south: they raised more feed-stuR than
usual; also cotton was a good price.
Hundreds, yes thousands, Of farm
crs, ms well as ourselves, who for
years have been toiling TO get out Of
debt, have paid out. and many who
have been renting are now In shape 10
buy n snsall farm Of their own. This
leaves Mi well, and well satisfied with
the country. Wishing you both very
prosperous New Year. I am, yours re-
spcctfully, GEO. W. FERBRACHE.
