Eberly to lorce an accounting of the terms of a lease by which Eberly has property owned by Tallman, and to eject Eberly from the place. This action is a. counter claim to the one filed recently by Eb erly, asking considerable sums irom Tallman because he had failed to equip the farm as was promiBeo. Tallman, in the suit filed Saturday, says that Eberly has not only failed to turn over the land at the expira tion of the lease, but has failed to dl-. vide the increase in livestock or the returns from the crops. He has not conducted the business of the farm in the proper way, Tallman charges. DO YOU DREAD WINTER? If every man, woman and child in this vicinity would only take one spooniui oi tr ii it it (?
