Of course there will be some June

tip or two???
w. j. Coontz, who purchased the
Musgrave property on the West side,
is here making improvements in his
property preparatory to moving into

day.
! DR.. c. L. Rohrbough is getting up
F., to date. He drives a "fiiver" now

capers than he would be of one of
his planted patients.
Garden making seems to be an is
sue just like fishing is with Bill Cur
ry. Some folks sometimes have to
plant twice and the frogs that are
yelling these nights may yet look
through wondows of ice.

! A teacher who is not courteous
enough to bid the time of day to
patrons of the school where she
I teaches is too much of a boor to
teach in that school-and showing the
ear marks of i'll breeding is certainly
not fitted for the teaching of good
manners.
Some farmers have peculiar ideas
about road building. They build
fence up as close the road as possible
then when the slopes cave in and the
fences fall they hollow for the coun-
y w pay III I6 ldHl-
hog is still abroad in the land and
bids fair to not become extinct for
I some time.
( Like the coming of the frogs with
the touch of spring, the fruit tree
agent is singing his lay too. And
often it is a song calculated to trim
the unwary farmer. Thanks to prog
ress many Of our farmers, in fact the
! large per cent Of them are equal to
the slick tongue fruit-tree vender, the
patent churn swindler or the light
ming rod gentleman.
j. ). Hollen Of the west side. who
has been for some time erecting a
mill, will begin grinding feed and
crushing corn Friday. He thinks
he will be ready by next week to
make bread meal.
