They are badly behind. Logrollings are numerous. It seems all our farmers are taking in fresh land. But that's the way, when < the old gets worn, out the new must be found. Spring is here and we can hear the faithful whippoorwill's eong. We can look out these dark nights ^ and see the flames of the new ground fires in every direction.

We have had several cases of by- c drophobia in the lower section. A j dog went through some time ago, g doing a greatdeal of damage to the stock. Mr. Reeder was in our section last week hunting an overseer to work v the Flint and Steel road. He selected Mr. Rufus Koon as one.
