last night took an opportunity TO
make this office a pleasant call, in
company with II. W. Grim and B. P.

these friends from the north end Of
the county and to hear of their good
fortune. This year the alfalfa crop
has been excellent in that section
and the sale Of the hay will mean
good returns in cash to the residents

anything much in the way of fruit
crop this season, because of the ex-

that crop also turned out quite we'll,
and gardens were wonderful sue
