No small amount of excitement was
caused when bull that Mr.. Scother
had bought of G. Tindel got away
from the party leading him. He was
not ugly but frightened. 1t was sew
eral hours before he was found. They
put him in Mr.. Pages barn in Locas-
vile for the night, for he had tired
himself and those that were looking
for him.
i still need little for the window
curtains for the school. You likely
will want to see them some time at
the windows when you go through to
Eden Pond.
Those views that Mr. Randall had
in last weeks Messenger were true
to nature, but why don't some Hyde
Park person have the fine views
around Hyde Park printed. The
view down the river valley from
below the Catholic Church would be
hard to find it's equal and from Fitch
Hill and the views from Goddard Hill
are fine and then the pretty scenery
through to Eden. 1t would tempt city
people if they had chance to see
what they were missing and only
days ride from Boston.

A nice place near the school for a
man with a family of little ones;

Mrs. Will Grimes had her sheep
sheared and the fleece weighed ID
pounds. Not bad. How | would like
to see our hills covered with fiocks
of sheep. Years ago nearly every
farmer had his flock of sheep; today
not one in 20 has sheep. I believe
mixed farming paid or else our pas
lures were better if butter keeps
going down some changes will have
to be made to keep the wheel turning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wright have gone to

fever. All hope she will come along |

Mr.. and Mrs. LABEL were business

Mov+ Er;Jou -Mx 7 op,u xui1l coll
lis household goods. Only couple
years ago they came here, paying
y, 800 down. Hard times came and
and has shrunken one-third and
'orced him to sell like a great many
,thers; taxes and interest more than
lie could do. 1t seems hard to have to
start again, but, on the other hand,
farms are coming back in no such
shape as they were sold. They do not
understand farming as we do it in the
states, so the man takes a farm
pack. Has fences and buildings to
'epair to get land back and the
money won't hardly do that, so no
me has made by the deal.
