ave want to thank you for a very
successful season in combating flies

pleasure to enjoy our yards, porches

I'VE all know that you tramped
miles around our beautiful streams
and lagoons spraying the pesky
MOSQUITO in his favorite breading
grounds and the mosquito was no
match for your persistent attack on
him.
Il understand you have done this
for several years. While you are
getting paid for this | still think
that you have performed your work
in such a manner that it could be
classified as over and above the
line of duty Again we all thank
you for contributing to a very

the rest we'll there's a modern
version of it now-The Henry Habeg-
gers celebrated their golden we'd
ding, Sunday by taking their first
airplane ride and flying over their
old homestead where they started
housekeeping. It's now the Roy
Hauenstein farm north of town.
Another oil well being drilled
north of town on the VIM. Carr farm
near the old Chris Zimmerly we'll
that proved one of the best in that
area fifty years ago =. ever since
then the belief has persisted that
there's oil in that area altho sporadic
trials in later years haven't turned
out too we'll. The late Eph Locher
who spent lifetime in the oil bust
ness, both in this country and abroad
was convinced that gas existed in
paying quantities in the Riley creek
bottom land north of Bluffton and
was seriously considering putting
down a we'll there when his death
intervened.
Snakes Ssive--very much alive and
deadly too, are some which Charles
Tripplehorn is expecting to be ship
ped here this week. Charles, who
knows his snakes with the best of
them says they are a rattlesnake,
eotton-mouth and small boa con-
strictor.
However, he is more interested in
a harmless variety of red-belly
snakes, five of which were born Mon
day. He captured the mother while
at Boy Scout camp near Defiance
this summer-one hundred miles
farther north than any of that
species ever has been discovered. In
fact reptilian experts were incredu-
lous until given definite proof that
it was not a case of mistaken
| identity.
Comes word from the Bob Potts
family, former Blufftonites now in
Salem, Oregon, saying they like their
new location-about 100 miles from
Mts. Hood and jefferson, which they
can see most every day. Bob has
an orchard tract there and also is
employed as a carpenter.

traditional custom of wedding music
at the marriage of Miss Elizabeth
Brand and Roger Howe at the First

when the vocal selections of the pre-
nuptial music consisted of recordings
of a solo by the bride, one by the
groom and also duet by the couple.
Also there has been something
new to those ground cherries which
the Grover Soldners of Cherry street
raise in their West Elm street truck
patch. Instead of the ordinary
ground cherry about the size of a
tree cherry these, as large as a
small tomato, are grown from seed
brought from Minnesota. The Sold
ners also nave been averaging over
gallon of strawberries week from
their patch all summer. And their
Lima beans have yielded some two
bushels-not forgetting the Tom
Thumb tomatoes which are grown in
goodly amounts.
