the time when Motion r. Pepper,

Sick.
Samuel Hastings, who has been
many weeks sick with typhoid fever,
is now able to set up and will soon
be around again. Sammy has been
a patient sufferer and the people of
Ellendale and elsewhere have seen
to it that himself and wife did not
suffer for the necessities of life.

his home, his foot don't seem to
yield to treatment very fast. DR..

eases is improving and bids fair to
soon be out again.
