News items are very scarce nowa
days. Everything is extremely quiet.
Not much coming and going among

quiet, excepting on Saturdays. Farm
work is progressing satisfactorily.

orable at this time of the year such a
condition of affairs is acceptable to
all. Without good weather for farm
ing, the crops would be short, and
short crops mean less money and less
money means less business.
