DaousytIle Doe. Dacuavillo is still lively. But mighty hard to stay lively with the amount of grass some of us have. But that is the prido of farmer, hoe and dig, and push from sun up to sun down, through (lust, and heat and hot sunshine, until Saturday half past ten, thon fix up and put on our best chock shirt and homemade galusos, and walk two miles to church and sit and exchango local news; politics and tobacco before religous sor vices, but our conversation last Saturday was somewhat of depar turo.

We farmers can't live without having some pasttime, and we are going to try it again in a few days but I fear we won't have such luck as we had the other day,bocause fish ing and catching them, is two things, so I will close as I have used up my sheet. Paper is mighty scarce and money is more so. ROAD HAND. Hauzel. DEAR JOURNAL: As overything is getting along quiet and easy I will write you a line.
