One of the smart men of this town
is Salem Edmunds who will be 80
years old. Tuesday, August 5. Mr..
Edmunds' health is remarkably good
and he looks but little older than a
man of 60. 1t is a treat to visit and
talk with him and see the result OF
his labors the present season. He
has quite a piece of field corn and
potatoes. Has been selling new po-
tatoes for several weeks and his gar
den is a wonder; sweet corn nearly
ready for the table, beets and turnips
larger than bowl and peas, beans
and every other kind Of vegetable in
abundance and not weed to be
found in any of them and all this is
the work Of his own hands with the
exception Of one days help in plant
ing the potatoes. Mr.. Edmunds has
lived on the farm where he now re-
sides for so years and it is one OF the
few which are not for sale. We hope
he may live to enjoy many more birth
days and retain his good health to
the end.
