retained by Mr.. and Mrs. King and

excellent opportunity for Intensive
farming ad possibely they can find
time for little more leisure than they
have had. Mr.. King has 40 acres OF
land O ntne bluff covered with timber
and in case he runs ashore for some
thing to do there may come call from
the wild on the hill not far away. Mr..
2 King was born at Kings Corners, his
ancestors coming to the place In
very early day. He is the last one

often discomfort Mr.. and Mrs. King
have chosen wisely by remaining at
