Moving weeds. barley harvest and
work are the leading pastimes this
week. Moving weeds with a scythe,
however, Is growing less popular as
"A sport, as the open season" for
weeds is generally the hottest weather
and Il seems likely. sooner or later IN
be entirely abandoned as such, and
much Of the ground usually devoted
to the sport will be sown to alfalfa.
Mr.. Amos Cox, the boss carpenter of
Lamberton, Mimi, drove In last We'd
nesday evening for a visit at the
homes of his sons-in-law, Dell and
Clint Taylor and incidentally to build
an enclosed porch for the latter. Mrs.
Cox will come by train a little later.
Grandpa Cox and the youngsters are
all about the same age when there's
no work on hand.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. o. Waters, Of Ohio
Twp, have purchased o property in
Miller and expect 10 nov in this
week. Mr.. and Mrs. Waters are the
kind of folks who help to build up a
community-we're sorry TO lose them.
Last Sunday John Goudig and fam
lily visited near Rockham at the home
of a brother-in-law, Mr.. Jay NichOl-
son, we believe.
Last Saturday Jim Alloway was in
Miller getting lumber for additional
granary room.
Clint Taylor and Amos Cox were in
Miller last Saturday buying lumber
and a new Mccormick binder. Glen
and Sarl Taylor drove in with teams
for two loads.
Wilbur Wordsworth brought out a
new Deering binder last Saturday.
Mr.. Wordsworth has so acres of fine
looking wheat besides a large acreage
of other grain-doing the work him
self. He milks 9 cows, looks after 40
head of hogs, potato patch, etc as a
side line. We figure he's about doing
a mans work.
Among those from this community
visiting the st. Lawrence Camp Meet
ing last Sunday were the Ed. and
Frank Mckinney families, l.. T. Four
nier's, VIM. Avery's, Bert Reds and
Ernest Hancock family. Splendid
music and exceptionally good speak
ing, rated from any angle, was the
verdict of those who think.
We sometimes wonder why most
folks so enjoy a picnic dinner. May
be it's the natural way. Like the old
colored nanny who was very sick.
Her old mistress dropped in to visit
her for a few minutes and suggested
chicken broth. Having no chickens,
the lady ave Sambo a dollar to buy
one. After leaving, the old nanny
called, "Come heah yo', Sam gimme
dat dollah and youse GO git dat chick
en- in de natural way" Whether it's
natural or because it's unusual we all
enjoy the change.
