IF YOU DID NOT MOVE BEFORE JANUARY FIRST IT IS MOVING TIME-I HAVE MOVED.

While denizen of the cities, my idea of people moving frequently was found from the adage, 1t is cheaper to move than to pay rent" This was indelibly stamped on my mind while a young man when I bought couple of small cottages from which I ex- pected a steady income but the ten ants after remaining for several months without paying rent moved out and left them vacant on my hands. I did not move for that reason be- cause I paid my rent in advance. I moved because my landlord wanted possession, but I dreaded it.
 I rented me a three-room house from Dr. Tippit. It is right on the road between Wye and Little Italy. Now when I want sack of flour CT other heavy stuff from the store in- stead of carrying it home on my shoul- ders the good natured and friendly Italians haul it for ale.
 At my former residence I seldom ger saw a person, but the birds, rab- bits and other animals were regular visitors. Here 1 seldom see the latter, but people are passing all the time Even some school children go by to school daily. It's a great change.
 Now I realize why some people move so often. It is because when q person moves he has all the delights, thrills, little scarIy sensations, etc., like Columbus had when he was cross ing the ocean to discover America
 l had good neighbors where I lived, but 1 was afraid I would not find so good when I moved. I was agreeably disappointed, for if they are not bet ter they are just as good,a ,and what amounts to the same thing as their being better there is a whole lot more of them.
 knew what the house was where I lived. I knew the places where the roof leaked and l knew how cold or how hot it was. I knew there were good windows with plenty of light and ventilation. Now that I am nov cd I like my present house better than the old.
 I knew how far the spring was from the house and how good the water was. I find the spring aere not much further and the water just as good or better, with a fine mineral spring just a little further on
 c11ro Tho ,1ioo y,f fot pine wood would be too far away to carry and when I first moved I cut some green saplings for wood Then I got some fat pine for kindling, then got more and it was the fattest pine I have found since I have been on this mountain. Now I have plenty of fat pine to run me quite a while and I found it real pleasure and the most fun I have had in long time in getting it up. I tell you plenty of good wood right at your door to burn as freely as you wish without cost is a great blessing. Equally desirable is plenty of the best of drinking water fresh from the heart or this great better yet is the pure air  of the mountain top full of the life giving and flu" conquering ozone, for no one has caught the "fiu" up here yet, though myself and others have come here with it and gave them the. opportunity to catch it.
 Then I can buy about all the good things to eat I want much cheaper than in the city. have been getting the incest fresh eggs for 60c doz- en, butter for 40c a pound and the incest and tenderest baby beef for 15c a pound. Owing to the drouth last year above things are not real plen- tiful and are only to be had during hog killing time, yet have since Christmas gotten all I wanted of them.
 I have choice of different routes to the postoffice and either way I go I have to cross running brooks as wcll as Reece Creek. It is certainly great fun. Reece Creek heads here on the mountain. This morning went up it two miles and do not know how much further it runs ana know 1t is
