The recent rainfall ha9 haulted the j I
farmers with their work. fl
Mr. J. J. Harmon, who has been I
sawing shingles for the winter season,
will leave the mill and go to his faim

The roads in our section need more
work as they are not in good condition.

please at home.
Mr. T. H. Shull is doing a good
