Kind Remembrance.

To the old friends and patrons of
the New Point switch board, greetings!
No longer can | refrain from "break-
ing into print" For some reason
memory has been unusually busy the
last few days leading me back to the
day we moved to New Point and be-
gan work. II was twelve years ago
the 18th of March. Many changes
have taken place since then. Some
of the patrons are in Montana, some
in Colorado, many, ] know not where,
but hope this copy Of sour paper"
The Sentinel, viii reach them, tell
ing them that every act Of kindness,
and they were many, are treasured by
their old operator. How | would love
to grasp each one by the hand once
more and say "Godspeed." The fam
lily of children ! took to New Point
are now grown and all but the young
est married, and living near New
Point. The youngest is in Iowa, max
ing her own way. ] am back near
the old town where ] was raised, but
find so many changes that it hardly
seems the same. ! wonder how many
will be willing to send me a card
telling me that they remember? I,
has been impossible for me to keep in
touch with all of you, as i have wish
ed to do, but think OF you 80 often
Now, to each one, those at home and
those who have moved away, let Inc
say God bless you"
Your old friend and former operator

Fathers who had the corn gathered

are responsible for these boys not go
ing back into the Corn Clubs this
year, accordingstQ a statement of

E. A. Mclean.
."Only q boys have enrolled in the
Corn Club up to April L." said Mr..
Mclean, 4 All the boys are interest
ed in the work and will carry it out
until finished. Many failed to enroll
this year for the main, reason that
their fathers gathered the corn last
year and put in the crib with their
corn. If boy is given an acre of
corn to work, he should be allowed to
sell the crop from that acre and bank

this year Who have joined the Boys

couragement from the County Agent.
