Both Sunday-schools at Behson
are now organized, but unfortunately
the services contlict, as they
meet Sunday afternoons at the |
same hour. An attempt is being>
made, however, to change the)'
i * i
time of meeting of one or the
other in order that they may work
jin harmony. It is quite probable
j that this will be done shortly
! when we shall probably have a '
! 1 ucer attendance at botli Sundayj
Schools.

J Some of our young farmers |
' seem very blue over crop prospects;
we think, however, that
some ot their blueness may be
5 attributed to the departure ot our
