SO SIMPLE IT’S TRUE
Sometimes we run across a
person who always has a wail
(because his neighbors have
plenty and he has nothing.
And if we could just follow
them to the end of their car
eers we would probably find
the enjoyment of plenty while
the neighbors containing in
; wailer drifts along with hi; ac
cumulation of nothing. And
then if we cared to dig down
and exhume the cause we
would doubtless find the nei
ghbors working and improving
their opportunities while the
wailer carelessly allows his to
Hit by. At least that is the
way it appears to us, and it is
so simple we believe it to be
true.
good pasture
We have the finest cane
pasture in the county and are
prepared to take stock foi
pasturage at $1 a head per
month. Man on place to look
after stock.
