lotte say that both arc doing
well. Both have had slight
peritonitis, but it is thought that
each will recover unless further
complications arise. Mr. Arant
is a comparatively young man
and his constitution is very
strong. Mr. Wallace, though
well past the fiftieth mile post, is
bearing up remarkably well.
Every day in this month has
been cold and the average temperature
for the first half of the
month is much below the average.
Fruit is being held back
by the cold and it is to be hoped
that the weather will allow the
trees to put on a heavy load of
fruit to aid in tiding over until
fall. We are already looking
forward to the time when huckleberries
and blackberries may
be had.
