The gathering Of this weeks new.
has been fraught with great Difficult
tics ~ your correspondent has bee n

Adam and his horcr helped catch the
snakes just outside the garden walls
after Adam gave the correspondent

Jon think you have been having trou-
bles, but let me tell you about what
kind Of flint mills have been grinding
on u. Last week, on Friday, the re-
porter robbed the busy little bees Of
some 500 lbs. Of nectar. As result
he had the swelled up feeling. Sat-
urday he attempted trying to keep up
with Allen Cronk tarring some roof on
the barn, but fell off the south side.
landing on his south shed, DAMAGING
his ankle and hurting the shed some,
but getting all over the roof and tar
all over his person. 1t was close

missed the edge Of the shed by about
feet, which II he had not would have
percipitated him ever = drop Of some

pinch, We moved him over into his
house that he traded his 40 acres be-

on Commercial Ave, in the south part |
Of town. Monday we again hit the
tar bucket, completing the tarring OF |

our dear pater and mater move into
their city property on South Hayes

same day for good measure. We
will try baehing it for while; that

to relieve the situation or quits eating
altogether. So you see, folks, we are
living and busy as an old setting hen
with one duekiing. We are going TO
try this life a while longer-as long
