This may sound like an ordinary job, , but if any one thinks it is a snap let him sit up and take notice.' There are 20 acres of potatoes to be dug and if good weather prevails it will take a mau and a four-horse digging machine all this week to do the work, where as if it rains, the task may last a month. - At present only three pickers can be .had but seven or eight could be used in gathering up the spuda after they are dug. Po tatoes are 50 cents per bushel in the local market, but it is probable that the Beach boys will store and ship a good part of their crop.

If one desires to see an example of what would result, let him pass the old Farmers' Hotel these days and after wading through tb.9 accumu lation of dirt and dead leaves on the walk in front, return to the cleanly swept walks and breath a breath of thanksgiving for the little things of life. For the welfare of ths town it would seem desirable that the section of walk mentioned should speedily be cleaned. 'B.rn, Friday, to Mr. and. Mre.
