The son of Aaron Wells, altho
quite young, resembles his parents
in one respect to very marked de-
gree. This resemblance will be
found in his voice. AS you all
know, Aaron has been famous for
years on account of his good voice.
When Aaron sings he can be heard
for an area of ten miles, more or
, less. HIS voice charms the wood
! chucks, the rocks and the trees, yes,
the coyotes, the wood .peckers and
D yellow hammers. Yea, the sleepy
; man, whom Aaron serenades for
hours at time. Now this offspring
of Aaron's, when taken riding,
squeals at the top of his young voice
in manner that resembles his pops
very much. We congratulate
Aaron heartily that he is father of
: such singer, even if his wife does
look a trlfle worried when her little
!. son commences to display his mus
ical abilities.
